    Red face How do I connect my iPhone to my volvo's factory stereo?

    Hello there!

    I have a Volvo 2001 v79 XC that I want to link up with my iPhone 4s. The wagon has the factory installed 4 CD changer and navigation system, and I've no idea where or how I can stream my iPhone itunes music library through my car's stereo system. The last time I did this was with an 84' volvo wagon that a cassette player, which this car doesn't. What are my options for audio integration? I imagine there is a cheap option that syncs through the FM transmission some how as well as a more extensive audio integration that syncs fully through the whole stereo like the CD does with full stereo and steering wheel controls?

    Can anyone make any recommendations of audio integration options for this type of car and phone?

    Thanks so much and appreciate your advice and links...

    Also, is there a volvo used parts store for things like roof racks or console items like a cup holder or that cigarette lighter thing where you can plug in a charger?

    These are all units or brands of units that will work, but most, if not all, use the CD changer port so you will lose that function (no usage of the 10 disc CD changer only the in dash unit).

    I don't understand this:
    "Also, is there a volvo used parts store for things like roof racks or console items like a cup holder or that cigarette lighter thing where you can plug in a charger?"

    You already have 2 cupholders and just plug a phone charger into the 12v cig lighter hole.
    As for roof racks, stop by your Volvo dealer or you can also use Thule brand
