OD (off delorean) audio problem - MikeH - 27 Jan 2007 Ok, so i gots me volo 240 today, nice little runner till i get me d, it was free so what the hay, anyway the radio was crapping out on me, so i goes off to halfords as you do, wait for ages and ages trying to flag down the 1 store member working on a saturday as they do, basicly i bought the system and a iso connector thingy so i can plug in the radio. i think it may be the wrong one tho. The connector i got was this: but i plugged it in, powers up, finds the radio signals, no sound, hmm, so i think the connector is wrong, altho on some sites it says before 1990 everywhere else it says after 1990 Basicly its the 88 model i have and i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of the right adaptor thingy. Ive seen but that looks totally wrong to what i have, i have a connector that looks like the one in the top pic anyways not sure if that made much sense but any help would be appreciated. thanks - MikeH - 28 Jan 2007 yea it turns out the volvo has a seperate amp dim connector, and theres no kits on the market to do a quick conversion for modern audio systems, so basicly its gotta go for complex wiring i think, that or just get a new car as im not liking the volvo - MikeH - 28 Jan 2007 ah, that could be what i need, Thanks - steve.s - 29 Jan 2007 hi for an older car, i would just chop the connector and solder on a new one. normally have neg, pos, pos switched (ign), speakers. spekers tend to be easy to identify as often 2 same colour, one with a trace line (black). if in doubt disconnect battery, use a meter to check the ground. use a 1.5 volt battery on the speaker terminals and wait for the clicking. (or a signal injector if you have anything that fancy!) if it has a seperate amp, you need to take the wiring beyond that as that will be looking for a millivolts line input.
