    C70 stereo upgrade wiring?

    Hi all. My C70 stereo is playing about and was thinking if upgrading it too my jvc dvd player. Where can I find the wiring diagram for the volvo head unit, or has anyone on here done this who can advise. I'm only using my DVD head unit so I can get loads of music on a disc. Won't be watching it on a screen. Many thanks.

    I had exactly this RCA wire to connect my Pioneer head unit DEHP-945 on amplier VOLVO (Alpine reality) and it really worked very well.
    A very good solution.

    Sorry to jump in but I have been trying to fit an aftermarket sony head unit into my S70. After the local motorfactors sold me a iso connector for a normal S70 without built in amplifier, lots of power but no sound. It seems I also will need the adaptor above, plugs from amplifier lead into RCA ports on back of stereo. Is there a connector that you can buy to go from OEM Volvo cd changer lead to Sony head unit as they are different.
    cheers
