READ ONLY    PRINT   SAVE  replacing aftermarket radio back to stock in 240 posted by  Ian A on  Tue Jun 23 20:04 CST 2009 Author: [PROFILE] [EVERY POST] [THREADS] [BEST POSTS]     [IGNORE ALL POSTS] last visit: Sat Nov 21 13:20 CST 2009 [RELATED] The 1990 240 wagon I recently bought had an aftermarket radio in it that was stolen(from the previous owner). My first instict was to replace it with a stock 240 radio, yet the car audio installer keeps insisting that it is more trouble than its worth as the amplifier in the car has been bypassed. I have an '86 volvo tape deck that I would most prefer to put it in but have no idea how to connect it. Has anyone had this problem? Should I just give up and throw a cd deck in it? Thanks in advance for any help. Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.

The amp comes on with the power antenna power lead and has a DIN jack direct on the back of the radio for its audio input. The fader control on the radio works in this set-up. My CR-4123 has 5 pre-sets for AM and 5 for FM, too few for me. I have plans to install a stereo-CD unit. How hard your job could be can depend on what wiring/connectors are still available in the car. I don't know if the 9-pin connector, with which aI am familiar, is used after the model years after 1988. You might get more answers if you ask on the RWD forum.
