hi guys, i recently bought a volvo s40 year 04 through private sale.
the stereo isn't working and when i brought it to my volvo dealer they tell me that the fm modulator is broke.
They say the cd player itself is fine and the cost of a new modulator is around 800 euro plus software and labour!!!
there has to be a cheaper option ? the stereo is inbulit in the dash so not all stereos will fit.
1 option id just to use fiberoptic cable to loop back to the stereo?? but i still won't get fm which i'd like to have so i tune in my mp3 player.
please help.
i'm currently listen to my mp3 player on travel speakers :-(

 

isn't the FM modulator the part that actually converts the wave form received by your antenna into actual sound? That's pretty much the whole radio.....

I would just replace the whole HU.....
