I need to respectfully disagree. Definitely get the wiring harness and fascia from Crutchfield! It's free on orders over $120(?). You'll have a *much* simpler time installing everything... especially when it comes time to bypass the amp and you won't have to cut any existing wiring. I've installed stereos on 1980 and 1985 240's a long time ago, however in the past year I've installed CD players in my 1990 245 and our 1991 745 using the Cruthfield harnesses... and it was a cake walk (the 740 would have been a royal PITA without the harness since Volvo didn't provide more than an inch or two of slack). Crimp everything up on the wide open space of your kitchen counter, with a cup of coffee, the cat that can't leave well enough alone, and the wiring diagrams luxuriously spread out. Then go out to the car and simply plug and play. Most definitely beats trying to crimp butt connectors in the cramped space in the dash.
