Good job guys, you actually show the installation of the android auto unit with verbal details. It's great when you tubers show video with verbal breakdown during install.
Hi mate from across the pond. Carey here from America. Your videos helped me install an Android CarPlay in my 2011 XC90. They are very detailed oriented and I watched it while doing my own installation. Cheers! 😊
Hi, thank you for the video, it is very helpful! Along the process, I have discovered that taking the glovebox is not necessary when installing a rear cam. There's a shortcut around the glovebox. You can attach the cam cable to a flexible wire and push them inside the dash hole towards the doorside opening and catch the wire from there.

Hi Nice video. I'm thinking about using one of those android units with my 2008 D5 with built in Navigation and AUX input plus CD changer ( input connector in the middle console) So every sound from the android unit will bypass the amplifier? Also from the original radio after mounting this android unit like CD changer , radio, external cable aux input ? i understand that for parking sensors but for mobile connected via Bluetooth or music via android this does not sound very positive. Is there a way to still have all sounds via amplifier? Will there also be a supported unit witjh newer android o it? Version 10 is quite old. i appreciate any inputs also to my maybe misunderstandings.
If your Volvo has an aux input, then the original radio, cd player, parking sensors and external cable aux input will continue to work. The amp is only bypassed for older models So, in your Volvo, all these functions will continue to work I’m sure that the android unit will be updated with future android releases, and you will be able to download and use them www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314560935148?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=vkcosyhktgw&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=vkcosyhktgw&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Installing backwards may be easier. As far as the screen. Install the cables and feed through the plate. Then remove the cover and speaker. Feed them down. And then pull radio off ☺️

It plays through the car speakers, but you just have to set the radio to aux You do this because if it didn’t have this, then you wouldn’t be able to use the original radio
Hey boss, my radio won’t turn up so I’m think about switching to this head unit. I’ve changed the antenna module, amp & original head unit & I’ve had no luck. Do you think this will solve my issue?
It depends if your volvo has aux or doesn't. If it does have the aux function, then this won't solve your problems as you need to select the aux setting from the radio. However, if you don't have aux, then go for it, as your problem is most probably to do with the fibreoptics inside the car for the radio. As the screen bypasses the fibreoptics, it would work.

Hi, some info for people with the same problem as me. I needed an additional cable connected to the amplifier. This one is in the back of the Volvo v50 and requires really a lot of work and effort to route the cables all the way to the back. Haven't done it yet, if I will I will post the results

I would beg to differ A thief would not be able to remove it anyway, but even so, many cars have non retractable screens I don’t think that many people would go for a 15 year old car
Hi mate Followed this and everything works except my parking sensors. Seller says they supposed to not work after they install. However from what I’ve read online with the same unit, others have still got working parking sensors. Mine is a 05 non aux. Also front left speaker and rear right speakers don’t work, any ideas? Appreciate any help!
The parking sensors only work if your car has aux. If it doesn’t have aux, then the parking sensors won’t work For the speakers not working, check the red and white rca inputs, that’s what I think the problem could be
@@c2fixit thanks for the quick response. Is it possible to wire a speaker into the original unit to still have the parking sensors sound? And thanks I’ll look into those cables
Wiring a speaker for the parking sensors is a great idea, might even get your original radio to work Just need to find the output of the factory radio and find a pin out Let me know if that works though, sounds interesting

Will try that thank you. Also quick question do you have any link or video on how to use the different functions of the screen ? Thanks
I will make a video on that
is this also compatible for v70 2005-2008 ?
This specific screen isn’t, but ask the seller from the screen in the description
He might have some from another model
I have a non-aux 2005 XC90 and want to fit your suggested head unit but my android phone is only version 8.1.0, will this cause a problem when fitting to a version 10 head unit? Thanks for your series of excellent videos.
Hi mate
I don’t think so, but I would ask the seller regardless

Hi,I have a XC90 2008 manual drive, Iwatched your UTUBE about installing a android head unit,
when I removed my top grill it had a speaker, can you tell me where the speaker lead goes, or
does it just get left. I watch all your XC90 clips, very helpful, well done.

Just gets left unplugged
Thanks for this video! Follow up on the parking system question: Will the car still make the beeping noise when the parking sensor detects that you are too close to something?
Yes, it still beeps and the screen goes straight to the rear camera when you shift into reverse
@@c2fixit does it use the original camera?
Hi where are you based do you supply these and install
Hi mate.
Where are you based?
@@c2fixit Hi mate gr8 video! could you install it on my 2006 volvo xc90 ? and what will you charge?
@user-ir7sx4gr6t hi mate
Where are you at?
How about parking system? It still works?
The sensors work perfectly and the camera comes on once you shift into reverse
Does it have Bluetooth for android?
The one for no aux
Yes, it has android auto
Thanks, this video is really helpful even I am upgrading my Volvo V50.
The sound does not work unfortunately, do you have any idea why?
Have you checked the connections behind the screen
@@c2fixit yes. The volume on the display is even going up when I turn the volume knob on the original radio. And it is set to aux
@vincent567 check the audio in and audio out cables, perhaps they have become unplugged
Okay, I will have a look. Another problem is that on the screen the parking sensors are showing the wrong side ( front for rear)
Hi, some info for people with the same problem as me.
I needed an additional cable connected to the amplifier. This one is in the back of the Volvo v50 and requires really a lot of work and effort to route the cables all the way to the back.
Haven't done it yet, if I will I will post the results
Very good video. Just installed my android, the only problem radio doesn't work on android, i mean cant pickup stations.
Have you watched my other video
No.
I will now😊

Great video ! Do you still have the steering wheel commands ?
Yes, everything still works on the steering wheel
Great video - a thousand thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My setup resulted in a lot of audio feedback. Any idea on how to resolve this?
Your videos are terrific and inspire confidence to accomplish the install. Can these be installed in US XC90s? Mine is a 2004, 2.5T with the 'High Performance sound'/no Aux in feature)
Hi mate
Thank you for the praise
They can be installed in non aux us xc90’s

Hi there pal
I have the same unit as yours
But mine didn't come with the reverse camera lead that plugs into the back of the unit
If your not using yours could I buy from you
I'm more than happy to pay over the odds
Thanks Davey
Hi mate
Where did you buy yours from?
@@c2fixit morning
I bought from eBay company called blingmedia
But was missing the reverse camera plug lead
@@c2fixit I just realize you have made a video of reverse camera install
So that means you have used the wire that I was hoping to buy from you
Can you source spares at all ?
I would ask the guy from the eBay listing in the description
He is not answering and is totally blanking me
So I need to try and source this, do you no where I could try and get spare wire
Thanks from Lithuania;)
Great vid, is the screen motorised ? (Does it pop out/go back down automatically?)
No, the screen is permanently up
Excellent video.
Great video many thanks
Good job boys! Thanks!
Hi. Will this ANDROID fit a 2004 years XC90 (without AUX)?
This one will not, but the other link in the description will
Here is the link: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314566818009
@@c2fixithey there nice video. I also have 2002 xc90 but how does the unit you mention without the aux version manages the sound. And is there any chance i can find this version in Europe.
Even though the screens are in USA, they still come quite quickly.
Mine took 10 days to arrive
I don’t know how the audio works, but here’s a link for a video where it is installed: th-cam.com/video/YeVNg1JA6E8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you. Very helpfull
Its sad for me it never turned on (c30 volvo )
The original one or the android one?
@@c2fixit android
Navigation work
Dvd work
Base console work
But android one never turned on
Have you checked all of the connections
@@c2fixit yeah.. during 2 hours
Looks good. What do you not like about it? In terms of usability?
Honestly, it works well for what I want it
Sometimes, the wireless CarPlay doesn’t work well, but the wired one works flawlessly
Just takes a bit of time getting used to it
I really recommend it though
Link for it is in the description
@@c2fixit thanks man from the states. I’m considering doing this, but the plastic in my car is so brittle I anticipate a bunch of cracks. It’s been baking in the sun for a decade.
@2steaksandwiches665 hi mate
I don’t think this would impact the screen in any way
Hi guys, is everyone satisfied up till now with the Android systems? I’ve been told that it would be better to go for quality like Kenwood or Alpine systems and that these Chinese systems don’t hold longer than a couple of months…. Thanks in advance for your comments. Cheers
My one is still fine
Thanks, I will install mines soon.
Have you ordered from the link in the description?
Very good 😊👍
Thanks
Can you add dab to this unit
lol. you can really upgrade an older 2002
Useless if it does not retract like the OEM one. Thief magnet
I would beg to differ
A thief would not be able to remove it anyway, but even so, many cars have non retractable screens
I don’t think that many people would go for a 15 year old car
hello, is there any for 2004 s60?
Hi mate
Followed this and everything works except my parking sensors. Seller says they supposed to not work after they install. However from what I’ve read online with the same unit, others have still got working parking sensors. Mine is a 05 non aux. Also front left speaker and rear right speakers don’t work, any ideas?
Appreciate any help!
The parking sensors only work if your car has aux.
If it doesn’t have aux, then the parking sensors won’t work
For the speakers not working, check the red and white rca inputs, that’s what I think the problem could be
@@c2fixit thanks for the quick response. Is it possible to wire a speaker into the original unit to still have the parking sensors sound?
And thanks I’ll look into those cables
Wiring a speaker for the parking sensors is a great idea, might even get your original radio to work
Just need to find the output of the factory radio and find a pin out
Let me know if that works though, sounds interesting
@@Ranj-d2e Did you solve the issue with the parking sensors?
