Not sure why you should turn ignition key to position 2 then disconnect battery as you will be disconnecting battery with powered up circuits, and when battery disconne ted you will lose any power anyway, yhought reconnecting battery with key in position 2 might causecpower surge?
Hi Toby, I want to do the same thing on my 2005 xc70. In the video you say that you have an airbag light on, did the problem continue? how was this problem solved? here in France, during the technical inspection, if the airbag light is on, the car is no longer authorized to drive.... that's what scares me a little...thanks for your answer and your help. GUS / from France
Disconnect the battery before you do anything. When done and ready for testing, reconnect the climate unit before reconnecting the battery and turning the ignition on. This should avoid any SRS codes.
Is that small grey connector at 4:46 connected to the amp? I didn’t buy this adapter because I didn’t think I would need fm antenna as I’m installing dab but now I’ve got no audio? Any help would be appreciated thanks
@@josephklee213 any idea why the headunit turns on but no sound i have the din adapter plugged in with remote control connected etc but zero sound even on max volume
I'm curious - where did you end up pushing all the wires in the back to? (bottom/sides/etc?) I've a double DIN Android Auto/CarPlay stereo with no cd player and I have to install it before I put the whole unit back in due to how it's being held in place. I can almost get it all the way back in but the top is not going back about the extra 1.5cm or so I need it to in order for it to "clip in" on the top and sit flush. I can't see where it's being held up unfortunately due to having to have the stereo already attached.
So, basically, you need to buy a harness adapter that goes between the car's original connectors and the after-market's connectors. I'll be doing this on a 2006 V70. I'd sure like to have the factory manual to see where all the bolts and screws are.
Hi, I’m starting to do this very task, a previous owner seem to have lost the “two T25 screws” that hold the bottom of the assembly , anyone got any idea of approximate length of these ? So I can reassemble it properly this time , Tia
Not sure whether he still posts I'm doing same upgrading a v70 stereo but was querying why ignition in position 2 and what gear was selected as mine is an auto and looks bit tight in park position
Hello friends, in the video, there are two plugs that look the same, one is green and the other is black, which one connects the RCA audio to the factory amplifier? Thank you so much
@@playerdvd7530 sorry for the late reply, didn't get the notification... to tell the truth, I don't know if this kit bypasses the factory amp and just uses the built in stereo, if you wanted to use the Volvo factory amp that would probably need a different setup. I could be talking rubbish too. I have sold the car now so can't go back to check :(
Thanks for sharing. I've got the same job to do in the next few days with the InCarTec fitting kit and a Kenwood double din stereo on my 2005 V70. Think I've already made it a daunting job in my head, but I'm too tight to pay a professional!! Fingers crossed. What were the screws you had to take the unit out again for because they needed fitting from the back?
Sorry, the links for Incartec no longer work, search their site.
props for a great black sabbath ballad taste!!😄
Love the mcm cloth you’ve got going on 😂 I’m hoping todo this to mine soon as the radios been dead about 2 years cheers
Gotta love MCM!
I like that kenwood over touchscreen one nice
Looks like an automatic what gear did you have selected park or something else?

Hello,I have original amplifier under the seat,so how I get all speakers connected to the stereo unit? because noone cable comes up 😮
you need a 6-pin DIN to cinch adapter cable, you can see it at 4:31

Looks really nice!
Thanks! It's doing the job :)
Nice video thinking of doing the same did this affect your reverse sensors ?
Mine didn't have reverse sensors @@Fousyrdous
Is the PDC working after swapping the radio? I'm about to buy a new radio for my V70 2006 but not sure about this. Would be nice to still have it.

Yes, that's correct!

does this work on a volvo s60 2004?
Most likely if it's same model year, but best to double check vendors.
In us ours come cut already
Cat says i got this watchout buddy
S60R niccccce
*V70R - same just the estate / station wagon version. Appreciate you watching and taking the time 😀
Volvo radios and aftermarket stuff are so dumb i dont know y they didnt make it simpler
Never ending story, pff

The faceplate screws from the back, if that's what you're referring to - see 8:44
