Mar 24th, 2007, 13:06

hi there,

i have just got a volvo 6 disc cd changer, i have got the wiring in the boot passenger side boot. but where do i fit the changer ? is it the same as the estate ? i have got the bracket on the changer and it lines up with the bolt holes the same as a estate would have it fitted but i need to fit a cover over the changer but the estate cover wont fit so my volvo s70r the dealer tells me ?

has anyone got a s70 with a cd changer fitted in the boot from the factory ??? does it have a cover ???

i could really do with some help so i dont want to make a pigs ear of it and ruin my lovely s70r.

any helper ??????????

many thanks

It does have a cover and does bolt into the boot floor using the volvo bracket. I'll take some pictures tomorrow if you want.
I'll get you a part number too
There's a little loom that plugs into the electric arial supply too that should come with the changer.

I've ripped my car to bits and taken loads of photos. I'll post them when I get home. Mine is an 850 but they are exactly the same parts as i have owned an S70 in the past.

Post to come soon.

Cd changer no carpet.jpg
Remove both 10mm bolts and lift
Unplug cd changer.jpg
Dont pull too far as its still plugged in
Close up of plugs.jpg
unplug and remove cd changer
Hole left after removal.jpg
Remove boot trim on the left and pull to centre of boot to gain access to the power aerial

There's some extra wiring for my rear LED strobes for the track safety car role but you get the jist
If you dont have the adaptor for the power then an inline splice will do, just check which one you go into (need to be the ignition supply)

Refit is reverse of removal

HAVE FUN

Sorry mate, dont know what you mean, which back light?
The cover just pushes on and is held in place by the foam on the inside.

The bracket is held in place by 2 10mm bolts and the other hole is for the wiring loom to clip into.

hi again, i was wrong about the bolt hole near the rear light, i can now see from the pictures, the cables are cable tied to the bracket.

many thanks
