yeh, 7" fits where your radio/gauges are.. or the place behind the gearstick.
I wanted to build it in like red did, didnt have the time for that so i ended up fixing it below. Due to my time it doesnt look the thing yet, but it does work like a charm and i can get it out of my car.
T5 has a whole diff dash, just look for red his posts .. could always put a couple pics online if ya want.
White 480 Turbo '91, full leather, white blinkers, daily driver.
the xenarc 700ts will fit with slight modifications to the dashboard and the radio duct beneath it. you will have to cut out approx 1cm on the sides, 3-4 cm in the depth and a bit in the height too.
the problem is that you have only approx 12cm from the vem to the top of the radio duct and the most monitors are much higher than this

Dont mind the quality, took them with my ipaq..
The mount of the lcd is as easy as possible, i can still detach the screen whenever i want in 7 sec and put it backup.. so thats a good thing.. still needs a OEM look.. whenever i find the time.
Drivers view
Power to the computer (under passanger seat)
Bad pic, front view of the computer under the passangers seat
Another pic of the screen.
The software is road runner, would recommend it.. if you want the volvo logo 3d spinning around (flash) just give me a shout
Oh and its a touch screen so hence the fingers on it, ive put on a plastic sheet that minimalises the sun glare

No not in the T5, although he has done one for a 480 ( 8" screen ) and is in the process of fitting a 7" into an Audivolvo-bigbrother wrote:I think Lee has fitted one in his T5
