We're about to get a V70 2002 from the dealer. He says since 2001, the players are designed to only take factory recordings--no home mixes. This is after I had a little problem with a prospective purchase. Any truth to this?

I have 2005 XC90 - no issue at all. Self burned CD's work fine....use them ALL the time :)

Hi,also got a 2002 v70.Got no problems with mine on the home recording side,quality of the disc may be a concern,but apart from that i dont think you will have any problems. :thumbsup:

Burn it with 4x or lower then it works OK

My current car doesn't have an autochanger, I'm hoping to stick an Alpine unit in later on which should cost between £100 and £250 depending on where I purchase it, this one is MP3 capable and will also play writable discs. I just need to buy a small wiring adapter and it will plug in and work with the Volvo head unit.

A 'factory' volvo changer will cost £400+ also made by alpine...

I find that if I record music onto audio cdr's its ok but if I record onto data cdr's my cd player wont recognise them.
