Hi,the standard stereo is double din.But a single din stereo fits in there and there is a couple of options to fill the gap left.Autoleads do a 3cd holder which can double up as a little storage/cubby hole.Volvo do a 8cd holder which does look quite nice unfortunately they only do it in grey now.Should also say this is for the v70 but it fits right and looks nice.Recently bought two one for my R and one for my gramps,they come in at £17 for both bits you need.As for headunits i think its personal preferance me myself always go for pioneers.

hi dave well on my t5r it was a double din head unit. u can either fit a double din head unit or u can fit a standard size head unit if u buy a single DIN pocket/tray like this one on fleabay

I would advise having a look at the Kenwood and Pioneer range of head units. Very good selection with good quality sounds, and they do both single and double DIN units.
