Oblivion Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I've got both an 815 and an 816 lying around, though I've only tried the 816 since the code was written on it. It works with the amp and CD changer, but when I transferred my generic Cassette adapter from the 811 to it, it barely worked. The sound was distant and weak, whereas in the 811 it works perfectly (maybe not the absolute best quality, but it works). I've heard of a kit that lets you connect the zune directly to the HU without using an FM modulator, or the cassette, but I can't find it anywhere...are there any other options?

BEJinFBK Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Look at the USA Spec or Blitzsafe adapters. They port audio in through the 6 disc changer input. Great sound, but if you're currently using the optional Volvo 6 disc changer, you'll have to ditch it if you want the Zune to run into the HU that way. One or the other.

Oblivion Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 damn, well then I'm just gonna stick to using the 811 for now. Anyone want an 815 with no code, or an 816 with a code and verified functional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtrooper1 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 You can also hack the cassette adapter and solder it into the cassette. you would be able to play real tapes anymore, but who does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivion Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 then I wouldn't have a home for my W.A.S.P., Motley Crue, Zep, or Cult tapes :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEJinFBK Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Call me crazy, but I've got a Stevie Ray Vaughn tape in my 901 right now. Just turn it up to drown out the tape hiss and it still sounds Great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_HighVoltage_ Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I used a tape adapter in a SC816 and it worked great. Sound level was very good and quality was okay too. It was even a cheapo $7 adapter from Target. Risk the $7 and see if it works. I was happy with the arrangement for about 3 months, then I caved in and got an aftermarket stereo. Not a big fan of the aftermarket look though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I'd do the tape route, but instead of caving in and going aftermarket afterwards, just cave and spend a few bucks on a 6CD-input iPod/Aux-in adapter. Factory look is key in these cars. On mine, there's two inputs. When you push disc 1, input 1. Disc 2 is input 2. Both have RCA pigtails so you can do what you want with them.
