Volvo CD changer wiring circa 1993

rob...when i purchased a cd (volvo factory) changer for thje 1993

940t...i needed a special volvo cd cable, that ran from the back of the factory radio head unit...to the changer (in the trunk)...then it is just "plug and play".. are you making your own cable?...if you need it...i may still have an e mail address for a guy in san diego that was a "mr. know it all" for the mid 90's stereo and wiring questions...he helped me out when re doing my whole system.(let me know if you want me to search for him)....(speakers, amps, bass tube, cabling)...

regards...

After having my factory cd changer in the trunk break 3 times, I put a standard Alpine in my glove. No problems after 5 years. Left the factory cd in the trunk unplugged.

There's a cable pre-installed in our 960. I'm creating a home-made adaptor if I can.... I am not going to spend money (not more then a couple bucks) on this project, and don't even care if I get it working (would be nice tho, of course).... more of a pet-project to see if I can do it - because the results would be good. The car isn't my daily driver (my daily driver would be donating it's CD changer to the cause for temporary use) if it was my DD it would have a changer, new speakers on proper amplifiers, and probably some other upgrades by now (E-code headlights, turn signal repeaters, V90 tail lamps...).

Thanks to all who have responded... If anyone's got a wiring diagram that would be awesome.

I have a 94 850, and a bit of a tin ear, ie, I am NOT an audiophile.

Still, I'd like to play a CD, and hate a changer where you have the wife's CDs in there, and you have to stop, open the trunk, and change CD cassettes.

Compounding this, is that I am a bit on the frugal side ( can you say CHEAP?)

So with my situation, what is an easy, inexpensive way to play a CD? ( I've tried the Walkman type with a car kit, but too many wires and shi....junk getting in the way..

Any ideas of a relatively simple and inexpensive way to get some CD tunes in my 850?

The correct place in a Volvo sedan is in the trunk and for an estate it is under the left hand floor lift-off panel in the rear.

It's pretty easy to get a credit card, almost too easy...

Perhaps you could have a friend bid on something for you, or a relative.

if no credit card...just set up a pay pal account (and get $5) with any active checking and/or savings account...i don't think you need a credit card account to do a pay pal acct.....
