OK, posted this one before and got absolutely bugger-all response. Maybe
it
slipped by unnoticed, or maybe no-one knows the answer.

It's cos it's American tripe.
before you know it, theyll have us re-writing the bible to say God resides
in the US.

In that case, can you recommend a good British
fish'n'chips-and-warm-beer-flavoured product that will perform the
function
that I require - that is, allow me to put a line-level input into the CD
changer input of my Volvo SC805 head unit?

I am not too familiar with the head unit mentioned, my friend has a Volvo
and found the head unit is actually Alpine, if a simple lead is not possible
then maybe your only other option is an FM modulator.

In article ,
spouted forth into uk.rec.audio.car...
The thought had crossed my mind, and it's "plan B" at the moment - but my
preference would be a solution that relied on copper, and not air, to get
the audio into the head unit. ;-)

An FM modulator does use copper.

It commonly uses the fm frquency usually reserved for Radio 2 and
changes your audio signal from whatever device you are connecting, into
an fm frequency radio signal (it wires inlines and is not wireless in
any way).

Sound quality varies from average to poor, and at best is going to very
good FM radio quality. I've used one, and it was average, would try to
avoid if you are going to be trying to play very high bitrate MP3's or
navigation voice data through it.
