I've bought the Pioneer DEH5000UB,
This has a green lighting ( like the whole 480 dashboard) and an USB
port on the rear. So you can pull a cable to the glovebox or underneath the
center armrest.

If you're interested in pics, please PM.

is rather unique...

It depends on the year your 480 is built in... There are 2 types, the bearings that are fixed in the brakedisk and the loose ones... They are both pretty easy to change, for the first set you just change the brakedisks at the rear, and for the other ones you neet to press them out of the hub, and pr...

In The Netherlands they are usually sold for something around €60 till €80.

They are different in shape.

The mirrorglasses can be bought at a volvo-dealer.
In holland there are no after-market mirrorglasses.
