Hello! I have a 2000 Volvo C70 Coupe and the owner's manual indicates that under the dash on the driver's side there is an electrical accessories connector. This plug has 20 Amp power, switched power, ground, etc. I went to the dealership this morning to buy the mating connector so I can plug into this power and they said they didn't know the part number nor what accessories this was used for (but guessed CD changer or a sub).

One of the mechanics said that this same connector was available on the 850 and that he recalled using that connector for an accessory but couldn't remember what accessory. I'm looking for this mating plug and there is a lot less activity on the C70 forum so I figured I would post my question here too. Doesn anyone know where I can get the mating connector, a part number (either for the connector in the car or the mating connector) or an accessory that would plug into this plug?

I know I can just tap the wires but would prefer to do it correctly with the mating plug. Thanks in advance for any help!

 

If you want help you need to post a picture or go the a local salvage yard. Also, what are you wanting to hook up?

 

I responded to you in the C70 section... I had my brother go to the garage where my 70 is and he could not see such plug....

I still dont understand why you cant use the IPD Ipod connector?
It plugs directly into the CD changer/acc port with a powered connection.
Do you not have the factory radio?

 

Here are the pictures of the accessories connector in my owner's manual. I have found references to the same connector for the 850 (but it is on another forum and is the same thing so no point posting that).

My car has the crazy SC-901 radio. I want to add an input adapter to the radio (makes the radio think there is an external CD changer attached) and then I'm going to attach a Parrot MKi9200 to that. It will allow me to do bluetooth phone calls and music from my phone when the radio is on external CD changer mode. I think this is too much amps to splice into the default radio harness and this accessory plug is a 20 amp run (and also has constant on and switched power). I would prefer to get the mating plug instead of tapping into the wires directly.

 

The only thing I can think of is that it plugs into the RTI interface..
RTI would be located under the radio
See the attached pic

BTW the IPD adapter plugs into the Changer Port..

 

The image you provided is a bit small to see but I think that may or may not be it. I think I'm going to take the high-ground and just buy a mating pair of 9-pin molex connectors and change the plug. Thanks for the knowledge!

 

 

Well, I decided to take a closer look at the accessory plug and it turns out that it has the mating plug already plugged into it. It is an AMP 365063-4 (the "4" is for color yellow). The plastic plug is missing the mating pins but if I can find the correct pins for this mating connector I'm all set. I hope this helps someone else.
