Default BlitzSafe Ipod Adapter for 1996-2000 Volvo Models

This is where I ordered mine from and with three day shipping from UPS it was still cheaper then LogJam. So get this while it is still on sale with three day shipping via UPS.

I am going to be doing a writeup for this Ipod adapter so if any of you are interested then you can look here.

Um ok. Double Din (DD) shouldn't have been hard to figure out. That is the size of the OEM radios in Volvo's.

There was a writeup on VS about the BlitzSafe Ipod adapter and it is gone now.

But the install is really simple.

-------------------

1. Before you do anything go to your local Volvo dealer and get your radio code, your going to need it.

2. Remove the Double Din (DD) headunit by pressing in the tabs on the side. Once they pop out pull on them to remove the HU.

3. Disconnect the wiring harnesses from the back of the HU and also remove your CD Changer cord as well.

Now I would have to go back out and look at what I did, but I am not going to.

thanks for the help. as you can probably tell i really need it

in my xc70 its not a 'normal' headunit. its integrated like in this picture http://www.v70xc.com/2005-xc70/0/woo...console-tn.jpg but instead of the phone there is a cup holder.

i found a guide on removing the headunit and that all seems simple enough, but my main problem is getting something to fit the area properly. all the double DIN headunits ive looked at are square.. will i be able to cut the spare plastic off the stock 'face plate' and fabricate it in there? are there adapters or anything that can make this easier? i thought about just amplifying the stock stereo, but im not sure that will give me what i want.

No

Unless you make some "Y" adapter piece that you can connect both an IPOD adapter to and your CD Changer to and the other part into the back of your HU.

And I don't know if this will actually work.
