    This is extremely informative and highly entertaining to watch as a new Volvo owner who wants to integrate this. Well done from Dallas, TX, USA.

    Thank You for being brave enough and curious enough to do what most would not attempt until after they verified someone was able to do it successfully! You are the guinea pig who risks it all for our benefit. Because you are so giving I will pass on a bit of advice - You should call Volvo and tell them your steering wheel is in the wrong side! Thanks again for your efforts!

    Great video, with one suggestion. As per Murphy- the great the number of screws and covers replaced before testing, the more likely testing will fail, thus necessitating their removal again to access and correct the fault. Whenever possible, always test BEFORE reassembling.

    Brilliant resource - used this as a guide to fit a volvotech camera to a 2016 XC60 yesterday/today. Mega brownie points from the wife. Found there wasn’t much space behind those footwell panels for the control unit...ended up on passenger side and much closer to the bulkhead than in your vid.

    Hey thanks much for showing how to remove those panels at 51 minutes. They were rattling on my 2015, all fixed now. And no broken tabs.
    Thanks!!
    FYI I had to use a screwdriver to help pry out the tabs; when you pull down on the outer panel, it pulls the mating plastic piece with it.

  • @mengstrom
    @mengstrom 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks a lot for this video. I have now purchased this kit (except for the front camera unit) to my XC70. However, I have not monted it yet, because Volvotech did not provide any mounting instructions. Only an illustration on how the VBB8 should be connected. They do not have the manual available for download either, so I have contacted them for help, but thay have not yet responded.I did found mounting instructions for Volvo's reverse camera, so at least that will give me a hint on how to remove all interior panels.

    • @peterg.7224
      @peterg.7224 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You ever get the instructions? Any chance you could send to me? I'm stuck in same situation you were in - they seem to have upgraded the kit since the video was made so it no longer involved a replacement loom but instead a set of red/brown/gray/blue wires

They said, I can’t recommend them, as I haven’t tried the alternative models.

    Hi Nick,
    That's really good. I haven't thought that it will be so easy. I have a volvo V60 model which does not have RSI (road sign information) feature, as front camera is not there. Can you also make a video for RSI intallation in the same way if possible ?

    • @NicksProjectsUK
      @NicksProjectsUK  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Rajat, I'm sorry, my technical abilities definitely don't stretch that far! My RSI works with the existing cams / sensors installed on the windscreen. I also have adaptive cruise on my car, so perhaps it's picked up by the cameras and kit associated with that? Definitely not related to my front grill camera though. Sorry not be be of further help.

  • @andrewstempel8793
    @andrewstempel8793 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Quick tip for right side panel removal. This panel isn’t any easier to remove, nor less brittle, over time. I had to peel out the forward edge a bit, and compress the carpet behind it, to spray pure silicone lubricant in behind the panel onto the panel’s forward friction fit fastener and only then the panel pulled right out with no damage. The metal fastener fell off the back of the panel, but easily fixed with pliers, or replaced for $1.

    48:12 That's cable sleeving. Used in a lot of applications but mostly seen in PC builds. Helps protect the wiring and provide a clean look. Typically you would cover all or the cabling and then you can heat the ends to create a shrink wrap holding the sleeving in place.

    • @NicksProjectsUK
      @NicksProjectsUK  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, The switch came in the Volvotech kit. It's a little rubberised momentary push-switch. I purchased the second rocker switch from my local auto repair store, any rocker switch would do. I took the positive feed from the loom going into the Volvotech box (see video). The negative was just from the chassis I recall.

    Hello Nick, thank you so very much for this video. I'll be picking my used 2015 XC60 later today but does not come with a camera, and now your video has inspired me to do it myself and save some money. Two Qs: 1) Does the reverse camera you installed comes equiped with proximity sensor that tells you how close your Volvo is to an object in the form of Beep..Beep? and 2) Since I'm located in the USA, I can't seem to find a the specific model of the camera kit you installed. Thank you

    • @NicksProjectsUK
      @NicksProjectsUK  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      No 'beep beep' I'm afraid, but I don't even look over my shoulder now, the camera is so easy to use. Annoyingly the Volvotech site is being rebuilt at the moment, but their contact details are still online. If you email or call them and explain you've seen my video they can definitely point you in the right direction. They speak english and were very helpful when I needed the odd answer.

    And also I noticed that when you are in reverse mode, I can hear your Parking Assistance Radars beeping but there are no XC60 car icon and lines on the small screen?
    Very well made and good guide. I thank you for making this guide and hope you keep doing guides for your car :)

    • @NicksProjectsUK
      @NicksProjectsUK  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Nicklas, I think we'll record a little update pretty soon for this as the system is still working brilliantly and I've discovered there are several ways you can access the camera and cycle through the AV inputs using the existing dash buttons. I'm also thinking about installing a TV tuner or media player - possibly an iPhone connection to mirror the phone screen. If I do, there will be another video!
      You're right, the car diagram doesn't appear on screen, but never did in my car anyway. I may have an earlier version of the Census Connect system? I think it's fair to assume the car with radar visualisation feature would be disabled using this box, but I can't say for sure. The Cam button doesn't have 'Cam' written on it sadly (probably an available spare part), but I don't see any reason why you couldn't make a small modification to enable that button? There's a two-wire momentary push button that comes with the kit that could easily be modified, or the two wires potentially connected directly to the button in question. Hope that helps. Nick

    Great video, on a side note i am trying to power a dash cam mounted on the rear window. I am hoping to tap into 12v from the rear number plate lights but i have no clue as what cable to use, do you have the rear hatch wiring info. thanks

      Hi there, I only had the information shown in this film, but there are plenty of wires beneath the panels back there. Just take a multimeter and test the wires at the connections. It'll be easy enough to patch into one I'm sure...

    first of all thanks a lot for the videos....
    second can you upload the manual? i would love to take a look before buy it for an s60.
    Also can you provide the full list of tools needed to the task?
    Thanks again !

    • @EltonMachadoongoogle
      @EltonMachadoongoogle 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dear, I really need the manual can you send it over to me? I bought a box but it didn't come with any manual.
      Thanks a million!
      Cheers.

    • @NicksProjectsUK
      @NicksProjectsUK  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there, please contact Volvotech directly and ask for the latest PDF manual. They have it in several languages. Sorry, can't find mine, but all the steps are covered in the film :o)
      Tools are mentioned in the film too. The £3 tool supplied by Volvotech did 90% of the work. There's a few other hand tools you'll see in the film. They all came from Amazon.co.uk. I will try to feature the tools and more in the next video. I'm now thinking about adding iPhone connectivity and onscreen bumper parking sensor data in my next vid. It takes 12 hours, but definitely worth it. I rely on the system every time I use the car and it hasn't let me down yet!

    • @EltonMachadoongoogle
      @EltonMachadoongoogle 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Thanks, for your reply I did contact then but they refuse to send it that is why.
      I bought everything already from amazon and the box from ebay, 150€ only missing now because did not arrived yet the plastic tool and I bought an extra camera wireless because I'm afraid to make a hole on the plastic thing behind (the camera they offered e is good but need to have a hole with the drill they provide), I have an S60 I will also try to add a video for the installation since yours inspired a lot! Thanks again for it and I hope to see the next chapter :)
      About the manual I would even pay for it but unfortunately they refuse to sell the manual as well, I will try to follow all the steps on the video even if m y car is not really the same.
      Cheers,

    Volvotech took 3 weeks to deliver the unit I ordered and it includes no installation manual! Since my XC60 doesn't match this video (it's a VBB7), I cannot install! So i tried contacting Volvotech support. Telephone? No answer. Email? No answer. Does anyone know where I can get an installation manual to install the VBB7 interface?

    • @d.s.2016
      @d.s.2016 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      UPDATE: Volvotech finally sent me the manual. I checked everywhere online and could not find it anywhere though, in the process of searching, I did find several retailers that were selling the same exact interface kit for alot less. Event though the video shares alot of common steps with the installation for my particular 2013 XC60, my VBB7 installation is nowhere as easy as what you see in this video. Instead of simply exchanging cables on the head unit, you have to remove and take apart the monitor in your car and install a secondary circuit board inside it. That is, if you can manage to remove it from your dashboard. It took me several hours of very careful squinting and prying just to do the one step. The VBB7 interface itself is also much larger than the one in this video making it extremely difficult to hide it away somewhere in the lower dashboard. They advertise these products as "plug and play" on their website. Respectfully in my case, I would say No, it's not.
