I noticed the cd player thats a welcome addition my 04 still has a cassette player dont know if it works or not i haven't used a cassette since about 1995.

that cup holder is easily remedied with a screw driver or just use it as a step once or twice !!

The underdash tray is a good addition however.

Does the auto shift fold up or swing to the side? The auto shifts I've seen up until now were on the steering column. Just curious.

Not this one. Major hassle with that big box there.
Our Freightliners have a streering column mount similar to an automobile.

They didn't think that one through all the way.

It is a Volvo thing, our daycabs have the same seat mounted shifter.

In spite of that minor inconvenience, the Volvos have a superior performance record in regard to transmission failures.
