Had that on my Sony CD changer. It's the serial control interface. Audio was transmitted seprately over RCAs. See here https://www.volvo-480-europe.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10558

I wonder if the other end would be under the cubby? I've read mention of a random cable being found under there ready for an amp. James

I expect at some point it's had an after market stereo in there and the previous owner decided to remove it because they still think it's worth a fortune.

So many people seem to think going to Halfords and spending £400 on a stereo will substantially add value to the car. The number of times ive bought a car and the owner has offered me a 5 year old Sony stereo for £200 extra, or they'll put the factory one back in - mm no thanks i'll just go on ebay and buy the same model for £20.

it had a JVC cd player with Aux port when i bought it with a wireing harness adapter to the LR plug .. Ive just installed a nice Pioneer Dab+ mechless media player with BT and Spotify app which was £100 from Halfords

. The pioneer once has a single connector for the harness so i had to join that to the one that was there before but its all working.
