Does anyone have the Volvo FM Transmitter in their car? I'm going to be getting this installed in my S40 and just wanted to know what others who have it think of it. How's it work, look, etc.

Thanks.

 

Have you had this installed? From my research, it is still a FM transmitter, without direct connection. It seems that the wiring harness only provides power to the Ipod, not audio connection. Does anyone know if this is correct? I've got the 2005 S-40, and can't find any audio upgrades at all. Any ideas?

 

what do you mean audio upgrades? any car can receive newer/nicer speakers and if ur talking about subs you can google how to make a custom box and all that. i used an FM transmitter, not installed by volvo, just the little thing u plug onto the top of ur ipod. forgot how crappy my ipod was until all i heard was white noise comin out of my speakers. never used it again...

 

I was trying to get digital audio... either by connecting an ipod, or a mp3/CD player. As you've mentioned the FM transmitter solution has poor quality. There are wired FM transmitters, or aux input boxes that are wired directly into the stereo. The S-60 can use these, but not the S40. We also cannot change out the CD player for a CD/mp3 combo, or put an extra CD player in the trunk, as far as I know. [&o] I've got the premium sound package; the speakers sound good to me...
