Who actually does Volvos 850/s70 radios, heard that its Alpine, is this true?

The reason I ask is that I was wondering if I could add a Sirius radio control to the OEM one.

Thanks

Mitsubishi makes the SC 8 series, 812 813 815 816
Alpine makes the 900 and 901 series

Double checked and I have the 900-901 model
Any specific Sirius model that fits those radios? Is it possible?

I don't think you'll find any 900/901 specific Sirius units for the 90's era HU's.
You'll need an adapter for an external audio input via the 6 disc changer port on the 900/901.
Search USA-Spec and Blitzsafe for these adapters. Then you can plug ANY audio source in.
You'll have to live with the Sirius controller somewhere. Maybe the ashtray area?

XM units are better
I have a thin Commander mounted in the hole where the ashtray was.

Nice, clean install
