To be honest mate I'm in the situation where I can just buy the plugs which I'd prefer to do if for any reason I need to put the old radio back

I'm selling everything you need for a single Din conversion, do you have a volvo amp that needs the 6 pin cable and do you want a CD holder to plug the gap?

I can split up the kit since you already have a cd player

Cheers Rossmc88 but I'm buying a double din stereo so wouldn't need the cd holder to plug the gap

Do you have a Volvo amp fitted? I could sell you my wires, ISO lead, Amp Lead and Aerial converter lead

leowyatt · Feb 29th, 2012, 15:07

daft question but how do I know if I have a volvo amp fitted?

mikealder · Feb 29th, 2012, 15:26

If its got an amp fitted there will be a round 6 pin DIN plug connected to the rear of the stereo, as yours only has the rectangular green and grey plugs it won't have an amp - Mike

There will be a 6 pin din connector plugged into the back of your stereo, don't confuse this with a 8 pin cd changer cable that might be there too. Volvo fitted the cd changer cables to lots of their cars, even if no cd changer was fitted.

The amp itself will be in the boot near the sub, but you'd have to remove boot trim to check this. It's easier to pop out the stereo and check for the 6 pin din cable

In that case I don't have a volvo amp as mike said
