188 Communication and Entertainment
Communications signals that travel to and
from the antennas go through the antenna
multiplexer. Coaxial cables for the cellular
phone, CB radio and radio are included in
the multiplexer system – all using the same
set of antennas.
The multiplexer is accessed through the
lower dash panels. Cable routing is as
shown in the illustration above. Use only
genuine Volvo replacement parts for this
multiplexer system; standard antennas will
give unsatisfactory performance. The wind-
ings in the antennas are specific to this
system: different sections of the antenna are
used for the cellular phone, radio and CB.
Stereo/Radio
Stereo
The radio is mounted in the right hand side
of the dash. Several models are available,
from a basic unit to top of the line.
Depending on the model, there are some
important features built into the unit. Take
the time to read the manufacturer’s manual
to be able to operate the various functions,
such as theft-deterrent coding.
