Hi All,

I'm a new Volvo owner having just purchased a 1996 850 2.5 20v Estate in the
UK.
Am fitting a CD Changer to the factory standard SC801 stereo and have got an
adapter to work with this unit.
However the instructions say that the two power leads from the adapter need
respectively a permanent 12v power source and a switched 12v power source -
they say that both these are available in the wiring already going into the
back of the SC801 stereo but fail to say what colour these wires are so I
can splice the new unit in.

If anyone can tell me what colour the switched and permanent 12v supply
wires are it would be a great help.

Many thanks!
