How to install an 3,5mm TRS-Cable and enjoy every Song
without a lack of Sound. Almost every other solution like
an FM Transmitter or a newer Radio isn‘t as near as good
in Sound and hasn‘t the original classy 50s and 60‘s look.

HOW IT WORKS

Most Volvo Dealers in Europe offerd the BLAUPUNKT FRANKFURT Radio as a option. You are free to choose every Radio
you want (like Mono or Stereo doesn‘t matter), but it is necessary that your Radio has a DIN Socket (6 to 8 Pole).

All you need are 2 Cables. The Radio stays untouched, and the Cable itself can removed whenever you want!
Following is a Install Manual. Scroll to Page 3 to see where to Order the Parts.

Note: In every Case it‘s better to spent a little more Money for a good and original Radio, than upgrade a
cheap Radio with a TRS Cable, because in a vintage Car the Radio Unit has to fit in the Car‘s interior,
not the interior to the Radio Unit!

1.
Make sure you have the right Radio: By checking the DIN
Socket you which kind of DIN to TRS Cable you need.
There a three different types of Sockets on common Radios:

DIN POLE

6 Pole Mono 7 Pole Stereo 8 Pole Stereo

2.

3,5mm TRS

Stereo to Mono Plug

The DIN to TRS cable ends with a box who can be opened for
Audio fine tuning (incomming and outcomming Audio Signal),
but it‘s already adjusted when it comes from the factory. Just
connect a 3,5mm TRS to The DIN to TRS cable and you‘re
done. For Mono Radios you can set a Stereo to Mono Plug in
between to have the full Sound out of a Song.

Note: Disconnect all cabels exept the DIN to TRS to listen to
the normal Radio again.

3.
Safety! Try to hide the wiring behind the glove box, and fix
it with cable ties to provide Passengers to tangle with their
legs in the cable and damageing the whole Radio unit.
