C30 Aftermarket Head Unit - What Options Are There?

Jerry1975 · Feb 4th, 2019, 21:12

Hi there,

The OE stereo on my 07 C30 2.0d S is terrible and I'm looking at getting a replacement head unit for it.

I've seen on here that a common unit is the Bluepower BLP-990 which people have had varied results with, but I'm intrigued by the numerous other head units on eBay for a much lower cost.

I'm sure some of them aren't great (though I'm sure they will be an improvement over the standard crappy thing) but my main query is if any of them will actually fit in the standard dash seeing as it isn't completely rectangular in shape (i.e. slightly narrower at the bottom).

The usual eBay fitment thing says that none of the models on there fit the Volvo S40 or C30 when you select specific model but it says they do fit either the S40 or C30 in general.

Has anyone bought one of these and can they be made to fit without having to chop lumps out of the standard fascia?

Here's a couple of examples..

Any ideas??
