WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Ignition off
Expose the head unit/audio module. See Radio cassette player, replacing and Audio unit, replacing .

Check that the male and female terminals on the unit connectors are undamaged and secure (cannot be pressed in). Check that the cables to the female terminals are secured to the terminal pins.

NOTE: In order for the below connections to be made take note of the color codes of the connectors.

Connect adapter 9511507 to the audio control module (wiring side). Connect breakout box 9511428 to the adapter.

Audio control module terminals:

#A1-#A12 correspond to terminals #15-#26 on the breakout box (green connector).

#B1-#B12 correspond to terminals #1-#12 on the breakout box (gray connector).

Terminals #E1-#E8 correspond to terminals #16-#23 on the breakout box.

When connecting connector D, adapter 9511509 must be used.

Terminals #D1-#D6 correspond to terminals #42-#47 on the breakout box.

The breakout box is designed to facilitate reading off the control module input and output signals when the control module is connected; and the cable and component resistance when the control module is disconnected. The use of a breakout box reduces the risk of accidental short-circuited cables and damage to the connector pins.
