CD Changer Upgrade for Car Without..TECH HELP!
 

I have a 2002 S60 (bought used) with the vanilla in-dash single CD/stereo set-up. I used to have a CD changer in my Acura and I'd like one here. I asked the dealership how much to change to a6 disc CD changer set-up. They quoted $1,300 (!!). I laughed and walked out.

I want to know what's involved with this conversion. Hardware (CD changer and magazine), some software setings, what?? I gotta figure Volvo wires all their cars with the option. I'm tracking two auctions on eBay, one for a 2002S80 10 disc CD changer w/o magazine (p/n 8682780-1) and a 3 disc magazine from a 2002 C70. Both these together are under $200.

- Will they work in my S60?
- What else is needed, a software change?

Any Volvo techs on this board who can help? I'll pay up to $500 to upgrade, but not $1,300. Thanks in advance.

I have never done one.
But by looking at Vadis you will need a software uprade.
Also you will have to see if the car is already prewired.
I know the old cars were but not sure about a 2002.

Thanks much for the reply and info.

Can anybody out there say for certain is a 2002 S60 is prewired for this? Thanks in advance.

If it is it will be in the trunk. Look behind the trunk liner around the drivers side over the rear wheel. It will probably be plastic tied to an existing bundle of wires.
