Help - New HU w/ higher pre-out required turning UP amp sensitivity

Hello, I have a completely aftermarket system (outlined below) and after replacing my head unit with a model that has 4V pre-out instead of 2V pre-out, I was getting very little volume out of the speakers and had to turn UP the amp's input sensitivity. My expectation was that I would be able to turn...

Re: 1998 v70 Accessory Connector 24/35 under dash (with pin outs)

A previous owner of my 1999 V70 R disconnected this accessory connector and tapped into 2 of its pins. I've attached a photo. I read through this thread and didn't really find the information I was looking for -- I was able to answer my own questions with some poking - What was this connection origi...

Aha, so the smaller one is an antenna. The "SUB" label was misleading.

Thank you!

Re: Help Identifying OEM Radio Cables

You can see the Antennas are labeled 'MAIN' for the larger diameter one, 'SUB' for the smaller one and then the CD for the third. Thanks this helps immensely! Assuming "SUB" is short for "subwoofer" it would seem it is not an antenna cable, but an RCA cable to a factory subwoofe...

Re: Anyone: is Snapchat evil?

Overview of Snapchat Snapchat is a messaging app that primarily focuses on sending photos back and forth. The messages in the app are ephemeral - you can only open a photo message once and then you can never see it again, and chat messages usually disappear too (unless the sender OR receiver choose...

Re: Help Identifying OEM Radio Cables

Did you check what it says on the back of the head unit? Some of them say what they are. I should have mentioned a previous owner already put in an aftermarket head unit, so unfortunately - no factory unit to reference. :( I think if memory serves, the multiplug is for the optional multi-CD changer...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Started taking the dash apart to install a new head unit... and then just kept going. Currently vacuuming 24 year old dust.

Help Identifying OEM Radio Cables

Hello, I am installing an aftermarket head unit in a 1999 V70 R AWD and have found 2 factory connectors that I cannot identify the purpose of. My research so far seems to indicate that the 8 pin connector is for an optional disc changer that would be in the trunk, and the small coax is a second ante...
