I hightly doubt it since it's a totaly different shape. You might be able to makie it woirk, but it's not going to be a direct fit.

yes, it's a direct fit. But you need the entire dash, dash pad, and center console.

Also, FYI, the S70 ECC is not a direct swap with an 850 ECC.

ECC = electronic climate control. You CAN do it, but as said, it's a lot of work.

So just use your ECC. I'm just not entirely sure on how the fitment will be.

If you do it you should try and take a lot of pictures along the way. Both for yourself and to post for others! (Just a suggestion!) Rickford
