Radio/CD

[Eddy Matthews]

Just out of interest, were any of the 900 series Volvos fitted with a Radio/CD player, rather than the Radio/Cassette (with CD Multichanger in the boot)?

Or failing that, is there a Volvo Radio/CD stacker system that would fit a 960?

I just hate the boot mounted multichangers, so I'm looking for an alternative....

Regards

I have a black SC805 radio/tape/cd double din unit that fits in the 960. It is for sale at £74 delivered.

Thanks Dunc, do you have any pictures of the unit please?

Is it a multi CD unit or single CD?

It is in this accessory catalogue in PDF form: Link

Even though I shouldn't sell it to you seeing as you pinched a certain 960 out from under me, Grrrrrrrrr!

It is a single CD, but it has the option to add a multichanger to it, if you so wish.

Oops! Sorry It was just too good to miss as you know....

I'd prefer an in dash multichanger if possible, so I'll keep it in mind and see if something more suitable turns up.

Many thanks

Your other option is to fit an aftermarket head unit that can play mp3s.
I can fit about 10 hours of music on a cd-r which removes the need for a multichanger. I haven't been on a trip yet, where I needed to change the disc.

I have to admit that I've never seen an aftermarket head unit that I like Gavin, they are all just "IN YOUR FACE" and stand out like a sore thumb - Just don't look like factory fit at all!

I think they are all designed for the boy racers that want to have sound blasting out as loud as possible, I'm of an older generation that likes things to be a bit more subtle

Plenty of Alpine units are quite subtle but not very cheap either. How about an Ipod and an FM transmitter?

You could go for an SC-900 or SC-901. These models have a 3-CD cartridge (front loading) and can also control a remote 6-CD changer unit. They are both double din size. These are grey in colour only (as far as I know) and the main difference is the alleged speed of changing the CDs.
