My Volvo Install
Stan from Charleston, SC on 9/2/2020

This made swapping out my stock Volvo head unit for a new Kenwood into a 15 - 20 minutes process. This is for my second car, which I use for work. Didn't want to go crazy with amps and such. I used wire nuts to mate the Kenwood harness to the Metra, plugged it in, and was good to go. Thanks, Crutchfield!!
Pros: Free and works great. Also, FREE!!
Cons: None

Half the starts, because half of the kit worked for my car.
Pros: The green plug fit. I'm being reimbursed the difference of the harness I found and the grey one I did not use.
Cons: No wiring harness to connect the 6 din speaker plug in to the head unit, had power no sound. Needed to go on wild goose chase to find the correct harness.

Metra 70-9221 Receiver Wiring Harness
Crutchfield customer from Rochester, MN on 3/21/2018
2006 Volvo XC70
Gave this a 4 star only because the wiring harness does not properly hook up the antenna amp on a Volvo. The blue wire when hooked up straight thru, gives you 12 volts to the antenna amp. Unfortunately Volvo has this amp running on 10 volts. So amp works when key is just turned on,(lower voltage approx 11.8 volts) but once car is started, the voltage goes up and the amp dies out. No AM reception. See Post on a Volvo Forum below for a fix. This has been reported to Crutchfield, so hopefully they will create a fix for this, that maybe is cleaner. I followed the fix in the Forum, and my amp now works. http://www.volvo-forums.com/t15342-st-20-S60-am-radio-reception.htm So if you value any AM reception, check into this fix.

Crutchfield customer from Fuquay Varina, NC on 4/2/2017

it worked fine as far as it went, but Volvo steering wheel control wires in Volvo wiring were not identified (this harness was specific to 04 Volvo XC70) or harness wires provided.. My radio had key 1 and key 2 and no means to bring them through to car wiring. Not a big problem using radio controls but steering wheel buttons now are disabled.

convenient to use, missing two connections
Meep from SE USA on 1/31/2017
2009 Volvo S60
This dash harness made installation into my 2009 volvo much easier. I've learned to just always buy these through Crutchfield. However, it does not include the 2 pins and wires needed by the steering wheel button interface, so you have to splice into the vehicle harness, at that same connector, anyway-- which is what we try to avoid when buying these adapters. 2 stars docked for not being complete.
Pros: makes installation easier
Cons: doesn't have the 2 leads needed by steering wheel controller interface; installer still has to splice into the same connector harness for HU installation.

Essential Time Saving Product for Installation!
Michael from Allentown, PA on 11/27/2016
2004 Volvo S60
This kit made the electrical portion of the installation an absolute snap. Match the colors, that's it. I have a an 04 Volvo S60, so it was perfect for me, but if you have an S40, talk to support first, as you will need additional parts. Also, for any Volvo, an extra kit is required if you want the steering wheel volume buttons to work. Now, the physical mounting of your new stereo will have its own set of challenges, but that's another story. Common sense and research got me through those.
Pros: Easy color coding, pre-stripped ends.
Cons: No steering wheel button provision included.

Brandt from Brooklyn, NY on 7/9/2016
2004 Volvo XC70
These wiring harnesses are a life saver. They perfectly fit the existing male harness, and conveniently, the wires are prepped at the end to quickly splice to the head unit wiring without the need for tools. The only thing better would be if it came with the splice connectors in place. Also, there was one extra (orange) wire that was supposed to go to attach to a wire for automatic dimming, but there was no mate. I had to contact Crutchfield to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong, but they promptly responded and advised to just cap it off, as there is no mate.
Pros: Snap fit. Pre-prepped wires.
Cons: None having to do with the harness, really.

Insufficient for Installation
Bruce from North Andover, MA on 6/30/2016
2003 Volvo S40
These connectors is insufficient to complete the installation of your new radio into an older Volvo. These cars include an external amplifier that plugs into the back of the factory radio via a 6 or 9 pin DIN connector. I had to purchase this as an additional connector and ended up with extra parts that now need be disposed of.
Pros: Provide power to the radio and antenna, and provide sound to the speakers on the top of the dashboard.
Cons: Do not provide and connection to the front door speakers or the rear deck speakers. So, essentially, insufficient.

Good quality and makes install simple
BryanC from Florida on 12/21/2015
2006 Volvo S60
Used these to install my JVC into Volvo S60. Connectors match up perfectly. Color coded wires matched up very well which made install quicker. The only issue with this is that they did not supply connections for the steering control (2 wires) which required me to splice into the OEM wires to finish the connection. They could have added these two wires to this harness as the corresponding pin slots were empty. Duh? Crutchfield tech support was invaluable to help me identify the wires needed for the final two wires that were missing from this harness.
Pros: Perfect connection to existing OEM harness
Cons: Missing connections for steering wheel connection wires.

Would not fit in my Volvo S60
FrankG from Blacksburg, VA on 4/16/2013
2007 Volvo S60
I was not able to use this harness. My 2007 Volvo S60 had way too little room behind the radio compartment to fit the large connectors. I ended having to cut all the connectors out (both the OEM and the harness connectors) and solder all the connections. Even then it was a tight fit!
Pros: It (would have) made the installation easy.
Cons: Would not fit in the space Volvo allocated between the radio compartment and the bulkhead.

Volvo S40 requires additional harness
ChrisW from Midwest on 12/14/2012
2003 Volvo S40
This harness is necessary for the HU power, ground, ect. but you will need an additional harness for the factory amp interface found in the 99-03 Volvo S40's. Without this additional harness, only the dash tweeters will work. The alternative is bypassing the factory amp and running new speaker wire in a (slightly over-engineered) Volvo. Huge pain. You could cut the interface plug open and test wires untill you have sound in all four doors. Huge pain.
Pros: It does fit and works fine. It is the power, ground, remote and dash tweeters.
Cons: I wish I had known I would have to scour the web for the wierd extra harness for the door speakers to work. The factory amp interface is a strange cd changer -esque looking thing that is very difficult to find any kind of wiring diagram for. If you have a whole day to kill, bypassing the factory amp and running new speaker wire to the HU would work. The extra harness is much faster and a cleaner install overall in my opinion.

Antenna adapter
Patrick from USA on 8/9/2012
2000 Volvo S80
It worked.
Pros: Easily adapts from Volvo antenna to JVC radio.
Cons: The plug that fits into the radio seemed a very little bit too small, so the fit wasn't as tight as I'd like. As I installed it I was wondering if would eventually vibrate loose. It was not bad, just not a perfect fit.
