Can I use a Kenwood 6d changer with the stock radio (with cd controls...)? It has the larger 13-pin connector in the side. I know Alpine was standard, but was there anything special done to the unit to make it compatible?

 

i dont belive you can use a kenwood. alpine only.

 

So there is something special about the Alpine unit to make it exclusive to the Volvo head unit?

 

yes. i have no idea what it is. but i belive that it is how the control works. all of the units controling modual are different.

 

Thanks 850tony.
