Fitting a radio.

neil stevenson · Apr 1st, 2004, 17:39

I am in the process of fitting a volvo radio (4 stereo RX-91VK) bought from newsletter 117 to my 1979 245DL.

However it needs a live feed (blue wire on the radio), an earth and when fitted an electric aerial (red wire on the radio.

I was surprised to find no obvious connections behind the console to which the radio should be connected. Can anyone suggest to which wire I should connect the live feed to so that the radio will switch on at the first position of the ignition key.

To where on a 245 estate, were electric aerials fitted, front off side wing, front near side wing or rear off side quater panel or else where?

The only stock power antenna I have seen on a 200 estate was fitted to the rear passanger side wing. I have a photograph if needs be.
