Lightbulb Volvo SC Series Radio MP3 Adapter Mod for 850, S70, V70, 960, S90, S40, etc. - Video

A few people have modified the Volvo SC series radios to connect MP3 players to them through the use of a head phone cord. It doesn't allow you to control the MP3 player with the radio, but it sure gives you great sound and unlimited music play with your phone, etc.

Before you do the mod, make sure the CORD you plan to plug into your MP3 player, phone, etc., works with your device. If you do not have any solder skills, you may want to have someone else do that part of your mod.

A better choice for desoldering would be some desoldering braid. It's inexpensive, and you can get it any number of places, including Radio Shack.

I use professional grade rework equipment in repairing and restoring coin op pinball machines as a small business. I use vacuum rework stations to replace components, but the desoldering braid is cheap and works pretty well for most people.
