FM Modulator 2005 – 2006 Volvo V50 Installing

This cool Volvo V50 manual ebook about installing an FM modulator containing 28 pages with complete solution to make your Volvo V50 or S40 car stereo to be connected to any audio source such as iPhone, iPod, MP3 player and DVD player. While this manual was written for the V50, the same methods apply to the S40.While the 2005 and 2006 Volvo S40 Sedan and V50 Wagon offer much in the way of aesthetic appeal, driving excitement and creature comforts, one major drawback is ubiquitous among owners – the Volvo designers forgot about MP3 integration. This complication has been eliminated in the 2007 V50/S40 line.

Without the AUX input, or the MP3 capability of the CD player and the fact that the nifty head unit in the Volvo S40 and V50 does not include the option of a cassette deck, there are not many remaining options. The option I considered was the FM Modulator route.

Material List for FM Modular Installation to your Volvo V50 or V40 :
1. Two (2) 9 volt plugs
2. One Motorola Male/Female extension cable (I used four (4) feet or 122 cm).
3. RCA to Mini Adapter
4. FM Modulator – I understand that a modulator with PLL (Phase Locked Loop) is best. After much trial and error, I have found that the Kenwood KCA-20FM has the most available stations from which to choose and yielded the best sound.
