My FIRST car!!!! 850

Congratulations! You can get a remanufactured factory radio with a single CD from a dealer or from a parts recycler. The dealer route would be a little cheaper because they will give you a core value or credit for the cassette deck the car most likely has. The net cost will be around $350. Alternatively, you can get a CD changer and install it in the glovebox or trunk, assuming you have the stock factory radio with CD controls. There are pros and cons to each. The model most people use is the Alpine CHM 620 (or newer model if it's been replaced). You will also need the adapter cable or interface, which allows the Alpine changer to be controlled by the Volvo radio. You can get these items on the internet or Circuit City. Expect to pay around $250 for the changer and interface, then maybe another $100 to have somebody install it. Good luck with your new car!
