1988 Volvo Console

[Caleb]

Okay, I think I already posted this, but I wasn't sure if it went
though.


Basically my friend has a 1988 volvo 740 or some thing like that. I
don't know anything about volvos. I really want to be able to take the
console off so i can install her stereo, but i dont want to break it.
is anyone able to give me a subscription or diagram of how to do this
so i don't screw up her console?

thanks
caleb

Which console? You shouldn't have to take any console apart to install a
stereo, though you will have to remove the little pocket under it with the
lighter and stuff in it. To do this (at least on '87's) you pop a little
trim piece off around the lighter and remove the screw, then the whole
little pocket comes out. I suggest buying a mounting kit from Crutchfield or
another stereo place, it'll have the needed trim piece and wiring adapter.

You'll also find there's usually a separate amplifier for the rear speakers,
it's mounted up above the driver's knees behind the cover panel there.
