Will Graphic Equalizer from 780 fit in 740 w/ TD-6141 Radio?

Hello,

I have an '88 740 with the stock TD-6141 Cassette Radio, and No EQ (Just the empty space below). I Originally wanted to get the common EQ-611 model volvo Equalizer, but I have since tracked down a Volvo 780 EQ (EQ-6016) at a swap meet... The EQ is of the graphic type (LED's, etc). Its being sold with the donor car's TD-6141 (same model radio as mine).. So.. It appears my radio should "hook up" fine, - technically...

My Question is.. Is the 780's dashboard/center stack setup different (like the later 760's)? Will this EQ fit in the conventional space below my existing TD-6141 Radio, like the other EQ's? .. Any words of advice?

Thanks!

    Hi Miles,

    Even though it is like over seven years since you posted on this matter or brickboard matter....

    I now have a made by Alpine equalizer "EQ-6016" found in the Volvo 780. The DIN plug and most of the cable were cut off as some aftermarket radio was in the car (on the floor) when I encountered it last week.

    The "EQ-6016" cable connect electronically into the DIN plug marked EQ or Equalizer on the aft of your TD-6141. I'm not sure as I dunno what the DIN plug is that came with the "EQ-6016" (five or eight pin for equalizers in RWD Volvos, "EQ-2111 is an EQ that includes a Sound Effector {reverb} with a five-pin DIN plug that connects to the stereo).

    The "EQ-6016" includes a audio spectrum display yet is still a five band EQ.

    The "EQ-6016" chassis is a full DIN size. The faceplate is larger then single DIN. I'm not sure you can fit the "EQ-6016" chassis in the 700 series center dash EQ cubby. You have the lighter to the left of that vertical space. Volvo "EQ-211(?)" and "EQ-2111" are much smaller (narrower) chassis.

    So you may need to perform some modification.

    As the "EQ-6016" I have has DIN cable cut off, I'm going to finger out audio ins and out and the electrical connections. With a ripple free +12 VDC supply, I may use on the old Pioneer SX-3700 that current drives four HT-161 speakers (slowly replacing the HT-161 drivers). The audio spectrum display may be too much bling for the owld Volvo I own.

    Very little stated about the made by Alpine Volvo "EQ-6016" else-wheres on the i-net.

    Hope that helps.
