REMOVE THE NEGATIVE CABLE FROM THE BATTERY FIRST! If not, you will get an "SRS Airbag service urgent" warning that needs to be checked and reset by a Volvo dealership. You might also need a security code for the stereo.
Excellent video for the novice. Liked other's advice about disconnecting battery before beginning. Now looking for a used volvo v70 radio to replace mine which died recently.
I had to do this on my 2005 V70. Different in that the entire radio/climate control unit is removed as one unit. My problem was disconnecting the climate control wire bundle. You cannot just pull it off like the ones in this video. I nearly resorted to brute force which would have cost me dearly. On the socket you have to flip up a small cover to access the tab which you squeeze to release. Never seen one like that before! Hope that helps someone else!
Recently replaced the stock unit with a double din Pioneer AVH 9200. Fabulous! Still trying to figure out how to wire up the steering wheel controls and have to fit a separate speaker unit for reversing sensors to sound.
@David Snow At least here in Finland, there are ready-made wiring harness adapters for steering wheel controls and back-up sensors available for some models.
@@petrinieminen7353 I used Halfords for fitting who advised me which kit to buy. Kit for steering wheel controls and another kit which has a little speaker for reversing sensors. £170! 😱on top of fitting cost and the radio cost. Worth it though IMO.
The 2005 and up V70 does not have that handy 1" tall trim panel to access the two torx screws - the gear shift bezel goes all the way up to the climate control, and gets in the way of pulling the unit down and out. To get the radio and climate control unit out, you need to detach the outer shifter bezel by pulling it *upward* from the inner portion. There are 4 plastic snaps, one at each corner.
with the key on you can just pull it back into a gear that gives you enough room. just keep your foot on the brake and make sure it doesn't move! you should be ok though
I replaced the same unit model to my s60 and the donor car was a v70. The radio works good but can you help what do I have to do to match with the steering wheel control and what the lights of the radio don’t turn on? Thank you!
This is awesome. Great help. Thank you. Just a question. What fuse/relay on an S80 2001 (MK1) have I blown? Got the new radio, aftermarket, in, started up, worked, fiddled with it a bit. Then the radio died. Even put in a brand new aftermarket radio. Still no power. Fuses looks fine
I would first check all the wire connections make sure they are all tight. If everything is good with the connections I would look in your owners manual for fuse locations and re-test the fuses.
Not nesesary if you have manual transmission. The reason why the SRS airbag service lamp coming is because if you have automatic transmission and the gear shifter is in park, it is not possible to take out the clima controller. And if you take out the cables for the clima when ignition is "on" because you can put it in drive and have more space, the SRS lamp comes:-(
is there anyway you can connect aux cable for external media player use? such as ipod or cellphone? or do i have to use a different stereo? i got a 2004 S60 2.5T model. I really need my ipod to work.
If you have a Cassette deck in your car, you can get the Cassette adapter which goes inside the cassette player and has a wire coming out which you can plug your phone into or any other player and it will play through the car system.
Hello, iknoe this video is old but I bought a Volvo s60 2001 as my first car and im only 18years old. Is there any way that I can like take the «stock» radio and change it into a more modern radio? Thanks
I have a 2006 s60 2.5t and I just bought a pioneer avh x391bhs as well as the dash kit, harness, and antennae adapter. i still have the factory radio console with the wooden trim inside, but i cant seem to find a video online that can show me detailed steps to install the unit . if anyone knows anywhere that i can find a video that can help me that would be great . :)
My XC70 has a 'wooden' trim around the entire radio and gear shift - there is no lower panel to remove as shown in the video - how do I remove this without breaking it?
I have a volvo s80 from 2004 and The radio stopped working. And the 12v outlet in there doesnt work either. I am just curious what could cause something like that to happen.
I tried replacing my stock radio with another OEM HU-613 radio and the result was the radio lights and the radio steering wheel controls didn't work. Any idea why this is happening? Happened on two separate replacement radios.
I believe it's different softwares, if I am not wrong there are different "structure seasons" on the stereos, having different software. It will most likely cause the screen and buttons to not function but it may still play music.
Disconnect the battery first or as soon as you disconnect the climate Control your screwed.. Dude should have mentioned that. Didnt realize, now air bag lights on have to get a vida dice unit or go to dealer
Janet Miller , hey that's a volvo scan tool that hooks up to computer. You need to clear the fault codes if you unplug that harness with the battery hooked up. but additionally I found some mechanics scanners can clear the code. I cleared it with a newer snap on scan tool. if it reads volvo it will clear the codes.
WARNING - Do not follow these instructions - if you do - disconnect the AC control panel - you WILL get a number of fault codes and have to visit a Volvo dealer to cancel them.
This video is about removing the audio unit. Do you actually have to Disconnect the Climate control unit. Can't you just leave it connected and just move it over to one side? The cables look long enough?

Thank you mate
In sense it should be clear as day to unplug battery before messing with car electronics. But yeah some People dont think.

You could've mentioned disconecting the battery is important to avoid an SRS airbag service messege

It sure does, thanks a lot 😊 Going to replace the stock head unit with an aftermarket double din one in an hour

Same with the 2003 S80.
Excellent instruction and tips. Very easy to follow.
Thanks
Brings back memories.
if you have an s60 automatic, what gear should the car be in while doing this
with the key on you can just pull it back into a gear that gives you enough room. just keep your foot on the brake and make sure it doesn't move! you should be ok though
@@HodgieKW I know this is an old comment but I have a question. Would putting the parking brake on also prevent the car from rolling?
d e a d k i n g yes

Thanks for having this helpful video made
very good video. Thank you. It was easy to understand
you can get double or single din brackets that fit you car on ebay or other stores.. and you will need an iso adapter
I wish there was a video out there on how to change the light pressure turbo to the T5
There prolly is somewhere on YT

plastic pry tools need to be used if possible!

Hello! You could change out your stock radio for a 'hu850' with an amp or an aftermarket unit.
do you know how to about checking each speaker in the volvo s80?
I can’t place my radio back. This video shows how to line it up.. hopefully it works for me.. try it after work😊
So I didn't remove the battery cable before removing the headset. Now I have the 'Service Airbag' warning on... How do I get rid of the warning?
pay for it in a serviceshop
Hi, it's possible install an aux cable in this radio? Thank you.

Had to look up how to remove the radio so I can fix the spring on the cup holder.
My XC70 has a 'wooden' trim around the entire radio and gear shift - there is no lower panel to remove as shown in the video - how do I remove this without breaking it?
Where is the plug for hu-803 amp? Under the passenger carpet?
Yes the amp is under the passenger seat .
he put a sub and amp in my Volvo s60 now my head unit controls don't work on the dash what could be wrong
Talk with he.
I replaced the radio with a used one. But IT ONLY play for 10-20 seconds. And the turns off. Any fix? For an 2010-11 v70
I have a volvo s80 from 2004 and The radio stopped working. And the 12v outlet in there doesnt work either. I am just curious what could cause something like that to happen.
Hey bruthuh, going through the same exact issues. Replaced fuses. You ever end up solving this?
@@Thiscowgomoo nope
End up solving now? I'm having this issue. Replaced amp and alternator, still no sound (other than through head unit)
@@JobForAMaxboy
Nah I got rid of it
What is name/type of Volvo antenna connector?
great video!
wow, im impressed :) subed :D and like
DISCONNECT BATTERY FIRST
thats why i bought the carbon fiber dash board install, it looks pretty amazing and doesnt have that cheap plastic look
I tried replacing my stock radio with another OEM HU-613 radio and the result was the radio lights and the radio steering wheel controls didn't work. Any idea why this is happening? Happened on two separate replacement radios.
Christopher Lewis Did you disconnect the battery first
I believe it's different softwares, if I am not wrong there are different "structure seasons" on the stereos, having different software. It will most likely cause the screen and buttons to not function but it may still play music.
H-850 is not the same
Why in the world would you put back the OEM stereo?
Disconnect the battery first or as soon as you disconnect the climate Control your screwed.. Dude should have mentioned that. Didnt realize, now air bag lights on have to get a vida dice unit or go to dealer
Jeremy R what is a Vida dice unit?
Janet Miller , hey that's a volvo scan tool that hooks up to computer. You need to clear the fault codes if you unplug that harness with the battery hooked up. but additionally I found some mechanics scanners can clear the code. I cleared it with a newer snap on scan tool. if it reads volvo it will clear the codes.
Jeremy R I appreciate all your help. Thank you very much
So does that mean as long as you just move ac and dont disconnect you dont have to disconnect battery right
michael harkey does that work?
Surely it would be easier to remove the engine and take it out the back
thanks a lot. it really helped me ;-)
Not accurate for 2001 s80. No trim piece in step 1
WARNING - Do not follow these instructions - if you do - disconnect the AC control panel - you WILL get a number of fault codes and have to visit a Volvo dealer to cancel them.
You MUST DISCONNECT BATTERY FIRST as we have disclaimed. This will avoid a visit to the dealer.
So it is ok to put the automatic gear in 3 or 4 and then disconnect the battery? This won’t cause any problems?
This video is about removing the audio unit.
Do you actually have to Disconnect the Climate control unit. Can't you just leave it connected and just move it over to one side? The cables look long enough?
merci
i would never leave my car in your service, jesus you completely destroys the cabkes and contacts when ripping om that cable
I don't like the new volvos, they are so plastic :(
