Post by wildatheart »

I am keen to replace my (single din) CR-905 radio/tape with a double din unit to include a CD player. All the CD/tape Volvo units I have seen are grey, which wouldn't match my dash. Did Volvo make a model in black?

many thanks

The SC-815 is a black version of the SC-816. Most of the premium sound versions need an additional amplifier though.

So I won't be able to simply unplug my existing leads and plug them into the SC-815?

Thanks for the response.

What car did a "905" come out of
The 815 does NOT need the extra amp, it will work like an 816 does, without one.
The SC 815 came in several cars, some with the big amp, some not.
I have an 815 for sale, AM/FM/CD/Cassette if you're interested, black face

Hi JRL,

I have sent you a PM, but it seems stuck in my outbox; let me know if you haven't received it.
