2000 V70XC Upgrade stereo to HU-615

Post by pbob42 »

Picked up a HU-615 to replace my SC-813. Adapters are obviously different. Looking to get one of those Chinese "Yatour Digital Music Changers" for digital input.

Three questions:

1) Anyone have any experience with those Yatour units?
2) Can I just splice in the connectors off the HU-615 replacing my SC-813? Do the color codes match up pretty good?
3) See the is a mod needed for the antennas.

Thanks

Personally i replaced my stock HU with a aftermarket double din with Cd/DVD/GPS for 150.00 and much prefer over any factory unit available.

That's the wrong radio for your V70XC.
It's got different connectors because it's for 40 series cars.
Get an SC-816 and it'll plug right in.

8) I'd challenge that any day with the full, rich sound of an SC-901... :mrgreen:
And where I live, I don't need no stinkin' GPS. :lol:
