I have just bought the above with the SC-802 and was looking for some parts
to upgrade the radio/cassette
to a CD player.

I guess there is possibly a plug-in multi-changer but I really wanted a
single CD player in the dash.

Can anyone tell me what units will simply swap with the SC-802 and what to
look for if there are several ?

Or if anyone has e.g. a SC-805 for sale please let me know and the price
....

Thanks,

Nick

They show up regularly on ebay.

Hi Arnold

Thanks for the reply - are you confirming that the SC-805 will be a straight
swap, both mechanically and electrically ?

Thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick, take a look at this link, it shows a SC-816 from the seller's add
"is dark gray and was designed for All S70 models, but will also fit Volvo
960 Series 1994-1997, Volvo 850 1993-1997 and Volvo S90 1998 only." I have
a 2000 V70 T5, and this is the radio I have.

Make sure when you buy a used 816 (excellent, got one in my V70) that you
get the code.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the link and the tip on getting the code - I am a little bit
concerned about a US market set as I am not sure if the spec is compatible
with UK radio channel spacings (on AM) or other specs I don't even know
about.
I will make some enquiries
Thanks again,

Nick
