Stereo Wiring Harness 95 850 +heated Seat Question

Hello all, I am looking for a stereo Harness for a 95 850 Turbo. Has the Cassette Deck with Changer Controls. I am going to add a couple of amps and replace the factory speakers but not the head unit. Since the head unit will stay, I do not want to cut the factory wires to use as outputs to my amps. Therfore, I need another wiring harness (Really only the speaker outputs) so I do not have to cut mine. Does anybody have one they will be willing to part with?

I have already called the local salvage yards and I picked up one from a 93' 850. Unfortunately it is the wrong Harness.

Also, on a side note. The 93' I looked at had Heated Front seats. Is it possible to remove the heating coils (or whatever they are) from those seats, as well as the correct switches and add them to my car, or are the Heat Coils integrated into the seats and not removeable?

Not exactly certain that will fix my issue.

AFAIK, the DIN on the back of my HU is for connecting to the CD Changer and is only an Input, not an Output. Therfore a DIN connection going to my amp from that plug will do no good. If I am wrong and that DIN will work, somebody please correct me.

I will take a picture tonight of what I am looking for.

The DIN listed there is the larger 6pin DIN that is for amp output. Basically you would use one of those adapters to get a clean line level RCA output from your deck to hook to an amp or something. The CD changer din is the smaller one on the other side. What deck and model volvo do you have? (turbo, r, base, etc)

Yes, it is an 811.

And please feel free to call me a Dumb jerk. I just went out to double check the model and pulled the HU out, looked on the back and saw the AMP out DIN on the back. I had never noticed that being there before.

So, the DIN thing most certainly will work.

Thx.

Also, anybody have a response to my Heated Seat Question? Will the Heating Coils (Or Whatever they are) fit in a seat that did not come with them?
