One radio gave me a hard time and I had to find another spot to join the cable, I believe it was on the rear board.
Hmmm, not sure what the problem could be. I do get interference when I have my phone charger connected. I would open it back up and make sure you do not have a broken wire, bad ground, or solder joint that is touching another. Those wires are tiny and sometimes break.
Hi, I followed this guide to the fullest but when I connect e.g. my mp3 there is a vague sound coming out of the speakers but there’s a very loud ‘buzzing’ noise. Should the cassette be without tape or something like that or is there anything else I’ve missed? Also when I connect my galaxy s4 there is not sound at all.
Cool. Glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching.
Very nice Robert, it works great! Thank you very much, very clear explanation.
Thanks
If you had the key on, and the radio on for at least 2 hours, you may have to put the key in position 2 for 2 hours. Not sure why some are 1 and others are 2 but I guess we have Volvo to thank for that. Make sure the car and radio both are on.
You need to get the radio working before you do a mod or you will be wasting your time.
Ok I have a volvo 850 97 and the radio says off and I had the key turned to 1 for 2-3 hours and it still says off.. I was wondering if I do this mod will it work for me or do I have to get a new radio or what? Can you help me out a lil bit give me some info thanks..
I was thinking of getting this done at a shop for my Volvo 850 but this is great and cheaper..thank you
Glad it worked out for you.
Just want to say thanks for this great video tutorial. Just did this on my SC-805 headunit and it works great!
Yes I do. Some people load a blank tape and disconnect the tape motor so it stays in. I like having my tape deck functional in case I ever need it.
Do u need to keep a tape in
this mod sounds great
Does a tape have to be inside the deck for it to work? Or do you just need to have the radio on tape mode?
I sent you a private message about the radio mod.
What’s your price? I’ll send mine out to you soon if possible.
Not at all. Super clean deep sound.
I use the cassette adapter everytime I drive my car. Sometimes over a large bump, the cassette skips for 2-3 seconds. Do you have any skipping over bumps issue with your soldering mod?
