A radio shop can install a different radio, no problem. Radiator fill bottle under hood right side black, grey or green cap. Only remove when the engine is cold.  Trans dip stick left side toward the firewall, look down there is a yellow dip stick that will except a 1/2 inch extension. Insert extension turn 1/4 turn and remove, used Dextron III fluid.

Okay my son found the radiator cap but there's a green liquid in there which looks like Coolant. Is that a special coolant he must get from Volvo, and he wants to confirm if the radiator cap is under a big black box that says ABS on the right corner. He says there was no yellow dipstick, only a red one(to the right of the engine) and he said it smelled like oil so it wasn't the transmission fluid.

You have found the coolant bottle, any good brand of Anti-Freeze will do.
Look futher back and deep down you will only see the top of the dip stick. Second option get under the car and look at the trans pan and you will see the tube for the dip stick going up.
