jordanvw Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 where is the proper mounting place for the factory volvo 6 disc changer in the left rear of the volvo 850 wagon? is there a way to mount it behind the left rear trim panel or does it have to go in the spare tire well? where was it mounted if you ordered a factory one and had it installed at the dealer in a 855?in plain view is out of the question.. i need it concealed.. any ideas or pics of install??thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordanvw Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 part number for mounting brackets is: 3533736part number for carpeted riser enclosure w/ lid: 9164225anyone have these they want to sell?dealer wants insane money for the carpeted CD riser box so thats not going to happen. jippi, did u buy yours new? volvo wants $240 for the stupid carpeted riser box!! no way.. and erie vovo has nothing. is there any other custom ideas for mounting it in the rear? i am NOT mounting it in the glovebox..lets see some custom mount ideas please...in the rear of the wagon only.. thats where the factory wired changer wire goes so i know you guys with later 855T5's and 855R's must have some changers mounted in the left rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWB4TH Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 My sister has an OEM changer mounted under the floor in the cargo area in her 855. It was mounted when she got it, but it basically attaches underneath the panel that covers the spare tire well. I have been in it several times and it never skips, so apparently that is a good mounting point. I would guess that the kit that mounts the changer under the rear deck lid in the 854 would probably work just as well; but, I am guessing. The only other thing is, if you go with a full-sized spare, there won't be enough room under the panel for the changer to mount. Hope this doesn't confuse the issue even more :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEJinFBK Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 If this is the changer I think it is, and you elect to mount under floor,remember to change the suspension adjustments on the sides from vertical to horizontal or it'll skip like a motherbear...
