Install the adpter plug, install new radio and listen to your cd's almost the cheapest way to go. They have cd players for 70 and the kit is 13 under 100 and you have the set up. plus if you switch trucks just remove your radio and install the factory radio.

it will usually be at a stereo shop and listed as a universal harness. i will try and look one up and pos apic of it but tell them you need a unniversal plug. best buy has them, if there are any around you.

this is the link for your wire harness that should fit. it will fit volvo some freightliners and some KW. but this si usually the adapter you wll need. i have installed many decks in big trucks and this has proven to be the most popular[/img]

Which I prefer the tape adapter. Less chance of having FM interference. Plus you don't have the cost of new AM/FM/CD player and your adapter. kc0iv

Thinking back when I ordered my new truck a couple of months ago, a cassette player was not even an option if I recall correctly.  Yeah, cassette players are rapidly becoming extinct! 8)Can you still get an 8 track ? those were the days. :shock:

I would suggest an iPod,you can put all your Cd's on the iPod and don't have to take them with you and have them lying all around the truck.
Just get a cassette adapter if truck has a cassette player or a fm transmitter if it has a cd player,plus you can download tv shows to your iPod and watch them at your leisure. Also one plus of having all your music on the iPod is the shuffle featured,you can go all day and never hear same song again.

I probably will get a iPod someday, but I don't want to spend that kind of money on it just yet when I have all of these CD's that I would hate to see go to waste at a time when I could REALLY use them. And forget about wiring up the truck to replace the tape player with a CD player, I don't think I'm going to get into that stuff there. I just wanted to know if the CD/Tape adapter would be alright for me to use.

I think Internationals come with a CD player; there's an International shop here in Tifton, and I stopped to look at a brand new rig on display. It had that beige leather interior and... yes, a CD PLAYER. :lol:
For the City of Tifton I also drive a 2006 International street sweeper; it has a CD player, and works pretty good too. I just wish it had one of those systems in it (the kind that can makes the windshield rattle) You can't beat that surround sound.
