Many thanks to Shaun, and Oilydad, i've managed to sort out the wiring now, the proper volvo 'R-4012' radio is installed, it took an afternoon to get my head around the wires, and color codes, all i needed to do was connect was the power, ground, and the 4 speakers up and then tidy up the botched wiring, make it safe to and tidy to my high self standards of being a neat freak and perfectionist....
Works great except i need to install a new power retracting antennae as i bought the car and it was already broken (some bugger of a vandal probs snapped it off, haha ) and there seems to be a lot, and i mean a lot of electrical interference when the radio is on, (if you turned the indicators on or and electrical switch for that matter, be it on or off you would get a loud 'pop' or crackle, and even though the ignition system is shielded, you can still hear it buzzing on the radio, do i need some sort of electric capacitor in line with the power connection maybe?
thanks again!
