2002 V40 CD Changer install question S40-V40 2002

2002 V40 CD Changer install question

Hello all:

I have just bought a volvo factory CD changer from a junkyard through the mail. They claim it came from a 2002 v40 but the "harness" or mounting rack that came with it does not fit nicely in the obvious area in the left of the trunk.

Questions for the crew here:

1> anyone know what the serial number is for these? (how can I determine if they sent me the right product)

2> Where should the cd changer be mounted? I assume it is on the left, close to the rearmost corner of the vehicle (rear of the wheel well).

3> Are there any instructions on how to install these?

4> Is this something I should attempt to install myself or should I leave it to the experts? I bought the $20 option to have the car "pre-wired" for a CD changer. Volvo service is quoting $145 for the install. The local stereo guys are quoting $75-110 depending on effort.

5> Anyone able to post or email a picture of where it is mounted in their car? (where the factory mount job put it).

thanks!!!

Aron in San Fran

    It mounts in the left rear. The installation package includes a small mounting plate with 4 holes in the bottom and a power cable adapter. You must drill thru the carpet the four holes. I would advise pulling up the carpet before drilling the holes. The floor pan is not flat. I wound up drilling in some of the low spots - you should be drilling in the high spots. The official kit requires a special tool to install the 4 bolts included in the kit. I used four regular bolts. The factory CD Changer cable is taped under the carpet to the shock tower (I don't know if this car has shock towers - but this is where the shocks would be if it had them). The power cable is taped to the wiring going to the turn signals. You cut a small hole in the carpet to run the wires thru to the changer. The only other gotcha in the rear installation is that there are then two bolts to mount the Changer to the mounting plate. If you use bolts that are too long, they will keep the changer from working. You then must remove the radio and plug the the changer cable into the back. Removing the radio is easy. Put the transmission into 1st gear. Then unplug the radio. You cann't remove the radio with the transmission in park. To remove the radio, push in on the tabs on the sides of the radio. Then pull the radio out. Plug it back in and connect the battery. When you turn on the radio, you will have to enter the security code. Make sure you have the 4 digit security code. If you don't have it, get it from your dealer. I think the total kit cost $100. This also included a cover for the changer.

      This is very helpful. I visited the parts guy at the dealer and he claimed to have no knowledge of what adapter was used for the power supply. He did print out the schematic for me, and there are cables on the schematic which look like they could be such an adapter.

      Does anyone know if Volvo has any kind of parts helpline? I could try to contact the parts department of other local dealers I suppose.

      thanks...

        When it came to getting help with parts - good luck. I called Volvo to see if the CD Changers from one vehicle would work in another. They told me to contact the dealer. The dealer had no information. When asking the dealer about the installation kits, I asked for the part number. They wouldn't tell me and asked why I wanted the part number. I was wanting to confirm that I had the right part. I had a couple of part numbers from mail order houses and wanted to confirm that the dealer was ordering the right kit. I didn't have a good feeling that the dealer was ordering the right item. As for which CD Changer fits the V40: My local dealer had one in his display case. This one had the following part numbers: CD-V010CHAS34W0187 (Manufacturers part number - Mitsubishi) and 9488925 - (Volvo Part Number). I had found two CD Changers on Ebay. One had the same Mitsubishi part number and the Volvo part number was 9488926 (This is the one I actually purchased). The one I actually received via Ebay had a different Mitsubishi and volvo part number. Both of these units I saw on Ebay came out of S80 vehicles. Therefore, I would suspect that any Volvo 10 Disc CD Changer would work - does anyone have any information that would contradict this statement? There is a 10 disk CD changer on Ebay right now. If you are looking for one, check Ebay and check Junk Yards. I picked mine up for $125 with shipping. The Mounting Kit for a S40/V40 is part number 30623222 and my dealer charged me $101.39. The kit includes the Electrical connector (You must have this - Don't try the installation without it). If your vehicle was pre-wired for a CD Changer, you are good to go with just the installation kit. If your vehicle was not pre-wired, you will have to get the CD Changer Control cable - I do not have a part number. One web site listed a harness kit (Harness Kit = 9452279 @ $29.67) though I don't know if this is what you want. There is also a cover that you can order to hide the CD Changer. This is 9164597-8. It cost $21.24. This goes over the CD Changer. I think this is a wise decision. I had to take a box cutter and make a notch on one end so that it was slide over the wiring to the CD Changer. The only other option is an additional 10 disk Cartridge. This is part number 9452189. I found this on Ebay too. Good luck.
