Great video! I did the same in my V50 back in 2018 but with a 1 din radio unit. I also cut of the special "volvo" radio cable plug and soldered on a regular ISO socket and mounted a new DAB+ antenna
hey dude i have some questions. the wiring kit you bought is it just like a general 'volvo to standard head unit adapter' or is it specific to that head unit you bought. and also you talk about having the original screen still work, how does this work? thank you
This is Gold! Been looking for an option in Guatemala to make an upgrade like this to my C30 and also been looking for a LR Discovery 4. UK has the best in aftermarket adapters and this was a great vid!
Just check all the wiring diagram and see you need any adapters. And check the measure so it fits. I can't say it will work but it should work but just tripel check everything thats what my friend did
Yes, but it's a bit of a guessing game on what it's set to but so far it's not a problem but I'm considering making a Y adapter for the cable that goes to the OEM display and then installing it somewhere a hidden like the glove box but we'll see. // The V50 owner in the vid
Great work. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to keep all the controls too. If you do decide to move it into the glove box, could you make a video please & thanks. I’ve come across audio electricians doing these setups th-cam.com/video/TGWyim7LRE4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Os1stGMW58Jug69B
Well, the installation procedure was butchery style, to a degree. More importantly, apart from entertainment, have you retained all the car function controls including access to the car settings menu?
I love the footage of your hairy legs.
😂😂😂😂😂

Pioneer DEH-X87ooDAB. TH-cam are removing comment if I use zero fro some reason...
Gold content! Want to see more of your friend, he did a great job on the installation! :)
He did 😅👍🏻
Does the Heat/AC temperature, zone, fan speed still show up on the unit when you adjust the AC or did you lose that?
No it doesn’t show but. But you can still use the old screen but you have to modify a new space for it. We haven’t found a solution yet for it

the kit is universal. You can have the original screen plug in but you need to find a new location for it

Glad you liked our video and the work we did
Did you manage to get the fan temperature on the screen ?
No but you can still have the old screen we haven’t just figured out where to put it
very interesting setup. looks great. my only question is on the volvo menu and HVAC (fan a/c) controls? do they work?
You have two options. 1 you live without the ac screen and free base it. 2 you keep the old screen but you have to modify a new place to mount it on
hi im looking at buying this exact car. Im 6'6 do you think i would fit in one?
My friend who owns this car is around the same length so you will fit without any problems
Thank you for the video, this is very helpful. Do you know if it also works with a V50 that has no AUX?
This car didn’t have any aux I think from the beginning. He used a adapter before
Does it work without the climate control screen? Is it like an aacc instead of a coimatizer? thanks for the content
yes you just dont see what temp you have on haha
Does that head unit display the cars heating controls that were on the original display
No you still have to use to old display for that or free base haha
Do you have a link for the stereo and cables used? Want to do this myself
all the links are in the video description
Where do I get the interface? What is the model number? You don’t go into any of that detail? I’m having trouble finding one.
It's in the description
all you need is in the description
how did you manage to keep the stereo in place without it falling inside the dash?
Dont cut out to much of the frame and the new frame that comes with the new stereo works like extra support
Hello, please answer me, the JVC KW-M855BW model will work ???????????
Just check all the wiring diagram and see you need any adapters. And check the measure so it fits. I can't say it will work but it should work but just tripel check everything thats what my friend did
What’s the harness kit website
Are you still able to use the climate controls?
Yes, but it's a bit of a guessing game on what it's set to but so far it's not a problem but I'm considering making a Y adapter for the cable that goes to the OEM display and then installing it somewhere a hidden like the glove box but we'll see. // The V50 owner in the vid

Are cruise control still working?
Yes
But how can you see the temperatures and more stuff now
The thing is you can't you need to use the old screen somewhere else. But we havn't
figured out where to put the old one.
Can this work on a Volvo s40
I don't know if just this stereo work on the s40. But it should if it is the same wiring diagram
You not showing nothing 😢
What you wanna see that we didn’t show?
Well, the installation procedure was butchery style, to a degree. More importantly, apart from entertainment, have you retained all the car function controls including access to the car settings menu?
what i know he still has all the access to everything
Not that complicated? Really
not really it just takes time
It s the same process in c30?
it should be almost the same. I can't say if the cable diagram are gonna be the same
Why, just let it be original. It looked way better before, now it has lost it's charm.
Because the quality of the sound gets better and Bluetooth, GPS and other comfortable features you don’t have in a old stereo
