Default iPod hookup for stock radio...

Does anyone know if there's a cable out that lets me hook up my iPod to the stock radio? It's for an '05S40.

TIA

1. Have you ever been in this thread? https://volvoforums.com/m_38606/tm.htm
If not I suggest you click on it and book mark it. Helpful information within that thread.

2. I have been looking and the BlitzSafe Ipod adapter only goes up to 2000 and the USA SPEC goes up to 2006, but only up to 2004 for the s40 model.

3. I suggest calling your local Volvo dealership and asking them if they know of or have anything that will work.

4. Your only other option as I see it now is to use an FM Transmitter and I highly recommend you stay away from them at all costs. They suck and are not worth anything IMO.

Thanks for the info, and I appreciate you using your time to look that up for me. I'll go to the dealership and see what they say. Hopefully they have some good news about this.

I know what you mean about the transmitter. I actually bought one a long time ago, and it was horrible. You can't even enjoy your music.
