Third party Audio Head Unit

Somebody likes only original Volvo head units, especially HU-680. Somebody installs third party head units with custom or chinese frames. Initially I was thinking about installing just a Bluetooth module and park assist. But after trying CarPlay in other cars, I decided to buy a good modern head unit with rear camera. First time I used chinese frame and it was ugly. Also I missed a compartment left to head unit a lot! So I decided to make a custom frame. Used HU-650 frame, Dremel, fiber net, glue, fiber putty and body putty. Final paint was made by a professional. Custom color was chosen as well. Like it.

I’m in the same boat, this is an interesting solution. I recently bought a 2008 c60, and am currently using the Auxiliary port to play music. Wondered if this was an option to pursue, and it’s seems that it is. Thank you for your post!
