Hey all,

I just bought a 2006 v70XC and would love to figure out how to install an aux jack plug into the stereo so I can listen to my iPod. Can anyone lend a hand regarding instructions and parts?
Thanks a bunch!

Geoff

Post up your model radio please Geoff

I've got a new 2me 2005 that needs the same treatment. It's got an HU 850 installed

It does, since when? Had a 650 as of last Sat.

With either OEM radio you need to buy a conversion unit, either a USA SPEC, GROM, iMiV, etc.
It plugs into and uses the CD CHANGER port.

You can use an Ipod, iPhone or satellite radio depending on which cable is used with one of these units.
Goes behind the dash/radio so a bit of work is involved, but the end result works very well

I added an iO-Play_2 which offers the ability to plug in an iPOD or even easier is to use Bluetooth, details on the install on a car with the power amp under the drivers seat (UK) see https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... 33&t=58092 for more details - Mike

What? My stereo has already lost 200 points? Bummer.

I'll check out the options, thanks JRL.
