Check out my hot new ICE
After 9 years of twiddling knobs to look for my radio stations, I've decided it's time to move on. Check out my new radio
Automatic station search! 6 Radio presets! Modern technology, here I come ... The old one, may it rest in peace, is the one on top of the dashboard.

Re: Check out my hot new ICE
Itll be a digital dash clock next Tom.
Then a digital cigarette lighter.
where does it all end?
When where being force-fed our dinners in pill-form by silver suited flying robot monkeybutlers!?
I fear the future. And change.
Nice stereo though.

Re: Check out my hot new ICE
Nice one!
Just a question - weren't the standard head units in Volvo's always Clarion? They always seemed to be of better quality and sound than the standard fit units i've had in other cars (And that includes my old 1992 RangeRover Vogue, for the price of that when new, the stereo and speakers were CRAP! )

Re: Check out my hot new ICE
Maybe CR-xxx stands for Clarion? Dunno ...
Definitely work of the devil though, after ½ hours' worth of playing the FM reception disappears Had to listen to MW and LW channels all weekend. "this is ... feeep ... the BBC world service ... crackle"
Maybe I'm not cut out for all this new-fangled technology ...

Re: Check out my hot new ICE
FM seems to have stopped working most of the time on my 340. But I like the retroness of listening to MW anyway
Re: Check out my hot new ICE
why dont you add dvd screens in the headrests while your at it
Re: Check out my hot new ICE
Banged a brand new JVC CD/MP3 player in mine. Doesn't fit correctly but the trim makes it look like it does. Sunk nicely into the dash, even has a remote control lol. Makes the stock speakers actually sound good!
Unfortunatly the timeless classic radio didn't go back together as I'd planned (nothing electronic ever fits back together the same way). Plus I lost one of the plastic knobs So much for selling it on, I'll stick a picture up anyway to see if anyone on here wants it...

Re: Check out my hot new ICE
"MP3 player" is the important bit. Personally I'd rather have a tape deck than a non-MP3 or non-USB CD player in mine, at least that way I can connect my MP3 player to the thing - who needs CDs in cars these days?Speedy88 wrote:Banged a brand new JVC CD/MP3 player in mine.
Yeah go on, you might as well ... My "new" period radio / cassette in the above pic is rubbish, sold as "in fully working order" on UK Ebay but it's not.Speedy88 wrote:Unfortunatly the timeless classic radio didn't go back together as I'd planned (nothing electronic ever fits back together the same way).

Have now bought another:
back to twiddly knobs but at least it's got station presets and auto reverse!
... but it's taking ages to get to me. Maybe I should just bung the old one back in.
Can you still get MW stations in the UK? Here, there's not much, just a traffic jam warning station ...MJ wrote:FM seems to have stopped working most of the time on my 340. But I like the retroness of listening to MW anyway

Re: Check out my hot new ICE
I've had one of those for a few years now, maybe they've got better now but mine is pretty crap ... The signal was so weak the radios I tested it on kept switching over to to mono ...

Re: Check out my hot new ICE
Maybe they've got better by now, I got one the moment they became legal over here and that's two or three years back ...

Re: Check out my hot new ICE
what a crease. I put my foot down today for a larf outside work and my radio came out of the hole! (Haven't finished installing it properly). Then my sub rolled over in the boot and nothing works now. Brilliant!
