Re: How to end Charging issues permanently

Re: Add an iPod input to many Volvo radios for $0

i have succesfully managed to AUX have most volvo radio's. What differs in my mod, is that it REMOVES the tape deck all together, so there is no need for a dummy tape, and the sound is first class as it connects directly to the main board have a look at my SC801 hack here http://www.volvoforums.org....
