Radio problem, Volume control
ok so i have a 97 850 and im having the oddest problem, my radio glitches out where if i try to turn the volume down it turns up, mostly only when i try to turn it down alittle, so it doesnt happen all the time. The only way to fix it is to turn it firmly and rather quickly. if anyone has any ideas please tell me!!!

850s use a standard "double DIN" sized radio and you can find adaptor connectors on eBay or google for the factory connector pin out. Swapping in a replacement Volvo radio is pretty easy as well provided the unit you buy comes with the code or the donor car VIN. Just press the two vertical tabs on the outside and the radio slides right out - no tools involved... I guess that's why they need a code LOL
