Just found this thread and the photos are no longer linked. The part that I'm interested in is this:

"Also, we need a SHORT length, one end onto the RUN DET and the other end onto the pin labelled."

What do you connect the RUN DET to so that it fools the unit in to thinking a tape is inserted?

Blufrawg - any 12v feed within the unit will do the trick. If unsure, you could run a longer length of cable out of the back of the stereo and connect it to anything with a 12v feed behind the dash. I'd find something switched ( ie with ignition) to avoid any possibility of a battery drain.
I'm hoping to pry open my HU603 ( from my '00' V70) and solder in an aux in lead this next weekend - the principle is the same - can always pop up a couple of pics if it helps.

So, i decided, whilst doing a hack today, to create a new set of instructions

WHAT IS THE HACK

The Hack is the BEST way to get an AUX input into your SC801. This also works on the SC802, SC805 and SC800. It will prob also work on the Sc900.901 but i have not tested this yet.

WHY IS IT THE BEST?

well put simply, it's cheap. the parts cost around £5. BUT Cheap does nto mean bad quality. In fact, the method i have now used, taps DIRECTLY onto the main board, so gives DIRECT sound without interferance

Yes, you can purchase other items, such as the BLITZSAFE etc, which will give you AUX via the CD CHANGER port. but with this, you get to KEEP THE CD CHANGER fitted, and still have the AUX.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Wel,, it works by removing the TAPE deck, and using the TAPE selector on the front to access the AUX. NO one uses TAPES now, so it is no loss.

SO, PLEASE EXPLAIN IS.

Well, first step is to pull your stereo out of the car, making sure you have the CODE
Any chance of getting the pictures back up again?

Hi, its possible with the text i think. But the RUN DET will not be found so easy.. Take this advise from "pakabassplaya": https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showt...=89936&page=30
I did it yesterday and it works.
