340 Center console
340 Center console
Hi, my volvo 340 has a huge hole in the center console below the air vents, it looks like a place you could mount a stereo but the hole is at least twice as high and a little wider. Can you get some sort of panel that will plug into this section leaving a single DIN space for a radio/cd-player?
I'll take a picture tomorrow as well..

This is a bit different being a LHD and being a Mk2 (I'm assuming yours is a Mk3?)
You can however see the cigar lighter, ashtray and clock in a row below the radio. I think that cars without a rev gauge had the clock in its place and a blanking plate in the centre console, but cars with rev guages have the clock in the centre console.
But I could be wrong
'87; not quite sure which that would be. The easiest 'indicator' (geddit ) is the location of the front side indicators. Mk2's have the indicators on the front wings, mk3's have them on the side of the front bumper.
Another easy tell is the rear light clusters. Mk2's have the number plate illumination lights mounted in the bumper, but on mk3's these lights are on the ends of the light clusters, either side of the number plate.

87 would be a mk3, no question. The only difference on all but the earliest mk2s is the heater controls, anyway.
You can get fascia panels from eBay (and various other places), but I think the original style ones look much better. I probably have a spare here...

I think we could call it £10 including postage. If you can find one locally, that's probably better for you, but the offer is there

Yeah, someone either had an early 'full front' radio fitted, or took the facia panel.
