Does anyone know where the factory wire harness would be for a CD changer in the rear of a Wagon? I could not find the din cable for the changer so I am assuming the car was not prewired, BUT, a din cable can be easily added later by the factory where a power cable would not. My guess is that its in the loom somewhere. Anybody have a factory CD changer in their wagon that can tell me where the factory location would be. I can then look in that area.

 

Our 98 V70 has the changer in the glove box, very tight fit, but it appears factory because it's controlled from the factory radio. If you're interested I'll sell you my factory CD/cassette unit with code and fully operational for a good price.

 

Thanks but I already have an the factory indash CD player with changer control. I bought the OEM changer with the din cable. I have tested it and it works great. I want to put it in the back, I am thinking on the drivers side. I can run the power wire but I dont want to if its back there.

 

Some cars were wired and others were not.
On my sedans one was taped on the drivers side and the other car was the other side.

Look good on by the tail light area tucked in behind the panel.

If I remember I will look at the daughters wagon tomorrow at work.

 

Thanks Tech, no need now. I found a PDF that is the installation manual for the changer in a 850 wagon. I tried to upload it but its too big so I plucked 26 pages out down to 1. Got it down to 38k and it still was a no go. So I put it on my server for people to download.

Is this a question for me?

Yes, long time ago. There is a harness from Volvo that breaks off power for the changer OR you can tap into the same loom and get the power from the rear ant...This is in a wagon of course.
