1979 245 Radio replacement/wiring 200 1979

Hardly any years have the same mapping. 87-88 are the only two I know that are close. :)

I have the 79 map. There are differences from '80 in the radio detail, but only insofar as the electric antenna is concerned. The '79 antenna was manually operated with an up/down switch, if you even had one, where the '80 got the relay operated antenna motor switched by the radio. There is no connector detail in the manuals, probably because it was too simple. Only switched hot from fuse #1 needed to operate radios from the '70's. Station memory was entirely mechanical. Speakers were front only. Anything fancier was dealer option or aftermarket add-on and not documented in Volvo's service lit.
