I'm thinking about replacing the stock radio in my 96 850 with an aftermarket double-DIN size DVD head unit. I cannot find any installation kits for double-DIN radios, and I doubt that an aftermarket unit will fit nicely without some sort of adapter. Any ideas?

I worked on an S70 at work not too long ago that had a double-DIN aftermarket radio installed. It didn't have an adapter, and sat loosely in the DIN. This is what I want to avoid.

 

isn't the standard radio cubby size of an 850 already double DIN? There may be a metal box sleeve the OEM deck slides into that you'll have to retain in order for the aftermarket DVD to fit. Unless it's a Pioneer or something....those come with a sleeve.

You could hit up the install bay at your local Best Buy and find out what they'd use to install double DIN in an 850. Probably your best bet.
