Hi,
I'm looking at a few S40s (this year's model), yet all of them seem to have
dispensed with the cassette deck on this year's (and lasts'?) models and
offer only a CD player.
While I'm sure this is good for most buyers, I need a casette deck to play
WAV and other files from a laptop into the audio system. (Computer audio
jack feeds into a "fake" cassette which prodcuces a signal which the tape
deck thinks comes from an audio tape, roughly.)
(I do NOT want an RF FM system which plays over the radio -- as you move the
signal varies and you have to find unused frequencies to rebroadcast over.)
Does Volvo sell any cassette deck add-ons for the S40 (I can't see anywhere
where it will fit!), or an older, integrated radio with a cassette which I
can replace it with? (I'm not special ordering the car so I need to take
what is available; I am willing (or will have the dealer do this) to take
out the current audio system and put in a new one with a deck.
I'd rather have the dealership do it all for me BEFORE I pick up the car
than me having to go on E-Bay or some parts site and obtaining a radio which
(hopefully) will work. (Not to mention having to install it; not that I
can't figure it out, but I'm sure I'll clumsily scratch up the center
console in my efforts to take the old one out...
)
Any help, references, parts #s, etc., will be useful.
Thanks!
