Default Replacing Factory Radio with Aftermarket

I just bought a 2002 V70 2.4 and I was wondering if there is a dashkit that I can get to replace the factory radio (since it only has a tape player...) with an aftermarket unit (either standard or double DIN). If so where can I find a cheap dashkit and wiring harness? Anything else special that needs to be done as well?

Well the dash kit is standard. Its a standard radio size. Now if you want one din with a pocket or double din thats up to you. Wiring harnesses can be bought at best buy for under $20.

I have the CD and tape unit, but to play my iPod I had to use the cassette adapter which I could not stand. What I ended up doing was just getting the factory unit iPod adapter from a local electronics store and had them install it; I did not want to mess up the whole computer system, plus the factory speakers do not sounf that bad.
