I've got a 90 240 with 4 speakers and stock cr-712
trying to install insignia cs102
got the harness (9pin)

went to go install and am missing a few things
I have a amp from the car but not on the new stereo
i have a 2pin connector and nothing on the new stereo
I also have the rear speaker wires on the new stereo but nothing on the car for it

Can anyone help please

I'm a volvo mechanic. So trust me when i tell you; Ive seen professional stereo installers that can't work with Volvos. Find someone that has.

The impression I got is that Volvo 240 as standard do just have 2 speakers. For two speakers, the 9pin socket is fitting perfectly. The standard elecctrical drawings is just showing 2 speakers. When having a stereo with four speakers, a separate amplifier was added to the original by a wire harness, and from that one the wires for the speakers in the rear doors were connected. In a standard 240, you will probably not find any wires for the rear speakers.
