Just bought a 2003 S60 t-5. (private party) The stock head unit is a HU-803. I put a CD in and I get CD Error. Not sure if other discs are stuck inside or what the deal is. On top of this, I'd have to cough up another $150 or so for an ipod controller/adapter. What are my options should I want to change out to an aftermarket head unit? Will this interfere with any controls? Yikes!

i had the 803 in my 04R. i thought it did a great job and they're are secret menus for fine tuning the sound. the station knob is a pita but hey.

it does a terrible job reading self burnt CDs. you'll get errors everytime. use OEM sorry. i can't remember but some have mentioned sony discs IIRC working ok.

its a 4 disc so make sure they're all out. if they got stuck on me i'd use a business card and that would free them.

you'll have to look for a double din replacement HU or get a single and have a space thingy built.

Hi skatehouse

i have an 02 s60 t5 and i scrapped the whole system out of the care to replace it with a full 5.1 surround with video. When i first started working on it i thought i was getting into a nightmare with the volvo but it turned out to be the easiest car I ever did. I will take some pictures of it tomorow for u and upload them for you to see.

the system is

Alpine wa-205 hu
Alpine processor
2 apline pdx 4x150w amps
1 alpine pdx 1000w
Focal K2 components front speakers
focal polyglass centre speaker
