Bluetooth (Scosche) in 2001 V70 T5 (HU-613)

[GST]

Hello,

I want to install a Scosche Bluetooth kit (BT1000) that was recently given to me. All I have for installation instructions is what is in the attached/pasted pictures. Can anyone give some general advice about how to figure out the wiring? Perhaps using the CD changer input?

I have a 2001 v70 24T, and I recently replaced the stock garbage radio with a decent one, buying a mere plastic bezel from Scosche to allow a 1-DIN unit to be installed in the massive gaping hole left when one removes the stock radio/cassette player. They are less-than helpful, but calling them on the phone may be required.

Diagram 1 is an approach that turns off the radio to "mute it". This may be the only option that will work for you, given that I don't think any 2001+ Volvo has any sort of "mute/'attenuation" lead. But I have no idea what's in your car.
Make tech support tell you.

On my wiring harness I have a fat red wire that supplies 12 Volts, and a thin Violet wire that supplies the switched accessory 12 Volts.

On my green "A" connector, the Fat red wire is in position one (A-1),
the thin violet wire is in position 2 (A-2)
Ground is the Fat brown wire in position 12 (A-12)

>>>BUT<<< you need to test this stuff before you cut a wire, so go through the process for getting the radio out, taking care to disconnect battery so you don't screw up the magical "environmental controls", and plug the environmental unit back in with the radio out so you can then re-connect the battery, and check to make sure that you have a Violet wire that only gives you 12 Volts when the key is turned to position one, or the car is running. Your wire colors may vary, and all the wiring diagrams contain much that is apocryphal or just plain wrong.

Once you have verified, you can again disconnect battery, remove the environmental unit, cut the wire, and connect up the Bluetooth gizmo.
