like an **** i snipped the radio wires in my 940 gl so that i could just use an aftermarket cd player that i previously had in my pontiac grand am. Little did i know that the wire colors are completely different, can anybody help me? is there anyone who knows what colors do what for volvo and pontiac so i can match them up wihtout having to buy a costly adapter, or any other solutions? please help, driving without music is a beach without sand my friends....:(

the only way to go is buy that adapter my friend.

damnnnnnnnn...well....thanks anyways man

hey i have some good news and some bad news for u. the good news is that i do a lot of stereo installs and help u on the wireing the bad news is that u will have to re will have to run new speaker wirs to the speakers because u have an amp under the drivers side kick panel just under the stearing calum. but it sounds harder than it i is now since u are upgrating the head unit i would strongly think oh putting in new speakers to.the best way to find your power wires is to get a 12v test light u can get one eny wear for around 7or 8 bucks and find the hot and swich on wire to good luck if u need more help gust let me know ok. :banana:

You could trace out the wires if needed. You'll either need an adapter or take the wires out of the original connector and put them in a new connector. I'd try to find or make an adapter so that you can put the original radio back in if you want to sell it later.

QFT i had to have me an amp bypass for my headunit.

hey in my volvo i put in a alpine head unit with dimond speakers in the front with 61/2 in the door and a 1 inch tweeter and dimond 51/4 in the rear doors.i put the amp and 10 inch sub in the trunk.my amp is an kennwood 5 chn 60x4 and 1x200 for the sub,sounds verry good not to much bass gust right.i started out by taking out the seats and the carpet and door panels,sprayed rubberunder coating all inside and in to the doors to kill road noise.then ran all of my wireing speaker wires on the left side my rca in the middel and power wire on the right side i used 4 ga for the amp and ran 4 ga from the batt ground and pos wire to and then ran a 4 ga wire from the alt to the batt so that i would get 4 ga hook up all the way around for proper power to the amp.makeing new speaker holders was the real trick,i took my dreamel tool and cut out the fact.speaker hole and made it bigger so i could put in the bigger magnet on the dimand speakers which was alot bigger.the fact.speaker grill had to go so i made a new braket out of playwood and cut it the same size as the fact. one and painted it black with a coat of clear on it look verry nice and looks better than fact.i will send pics how i did it.sounds verry clean and smoth for my jazz verry nice :banana:
