You have to cut the rails out, I used a hacksaw blade.
For the harness just get the adapter for your car, no double din will have a Volvo application on the list because it won't fit unless you cut the rails. After that its just splicing the harness to the adapter and mounting the cage in the opening.

Ohh, nice harness. The HU I picked out is nothing especial. I just wanted something with a good Ipod interface with no extra BS. Tho it does have a pre out fer a Sub, so thats cool. No BT, HDR, XM needed.
On that note any recomendations for a good DIN pocket to clean up the dash? I cant seem to find one wtih any positive reviewes.
