I got a 1999 Volvo V70 2.5 TDI Prestige (103 kw) which has not any iPod
adapter, thus I'm currently connecting the iPod to the cassette player.
Looking in the web, I saw AUX adapters for V70's not older than 2001. Anyone
know if there are adapters for my Volvo model/year also?

Thanks in advance

Why not use a FM transmitter?

Because the iPod is CD quality, much better than FM quality.

Crutchfield.com offers one made by usaspec.com which they claim is a
direct fit to your Volvo. It is called a "Honda" model, which makes
more sense than you might think. Alpine is the primary radio supplier
to both Honda and Volvo. You might find other distributors as well.

Thanks John. With that AUX adapter the iPod will be accessed by the car
stereo?
