I know this topic has been approached before so let's give it a try.
I want to remove my present O.E. SC-816 casette deck and install a Sony
in dash CD player. How tough is this and where can I buy a "fill-in" box for
under the head unit?

Thanks in advance.

    Hello, I went thru this recently to install a Pioneer in dash CD player. I purchased a Scosche DIN pocket and a wiring harness so that I could put the old Stereo back when I sell the car.

    The part numbers I used were:

    Scosche 1992-up Volvo Replacement Pocket - V02158B
    Scosche 2000-up Volvo Harness VO04B (I replaced a SC-816 on a 1993 850, the wiring harness they had in their conversion book was incorrect).

    I bought this stuff from a local car stereo shop.

    This was a very easy install. If I had to do another it would take 5 minutes to take out the old and install the new head unit (after soldering the conversion harness to the new head unit harness).

    If I had known how easy this was and how readily available the parts were I would have done this a long time ago. Now I have a CD player and much better sound.

    Good Luck!

      Hehkoj;
      I still need to hear back from you on the wiring harness.
      I just got off the phone with the Scosche people out in CA and they told
      me that I should be ordering the "VO01" harness. I am now confused as to
      why you ordered a "VO04". My car is a 1995.

      Heykoj;
      Thanks so much for the detailed info. I will be heading out this weekend
      to find those two parts you purchased. Hoping to upgrade those dog speakers
      too somehow. Thanks again!
