Hey,

I'm trying to decide what to do. I recieved a Clarion CD deck for my birthday the other day. I discovered that a dash kit would be needed to install it in my 745 and that there is no Volvo plug available to plug the Clarion's harness into the Vo's stereo harness. Therefore the existing Volvo plug would need to be cut off and the wires spliced. I bought the dash kit and it would cause the face of the new stereo to stick out a bit as apposed to how the stock one is nicely set in now. I'm not sure I would like the way the new one would look. I'm also afraid that the Clarion would distroy my stock speakers because it puts out 45 Watts per channel. The Clarion deck is nice though with an attractive face, a remote control (Cool!) and a few other nice features. I like the stock look of the dash now, but I would really like to have CD capability and I don't care too much weather I can play cassettes or not. I am trying to decide weather I should install the Clarion deck or exchange it for a nice CD changer. I would mount the changer in the glove box and keep the stock radio. Of course I would have to put the changer controller somewhere on the dash (I'm not sure where). I'm also not sure weather the new deck or a new changer would require more modifications/wireing/expense to install. I can't decide what to do and I'd like to change my brick's wireing and interior as little as possible. I would probably have a professional do the installation. Any help, advise, pics, etc would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for any responses!
