Hi Everyone! I am a new Volvo owner and will likely have many questions. My first one is - does anyone have a recommendation for an after market back up camera and navigation system? My model is apparently not wired for the Volvo parts. And also, does this mean the screen is not capable for video or that I just have to re-wire it?

Please and thanks!

 

I see kit #31470240 available from Volvo if the last 6 digits of your VIN are greater than 559323


Ch 559323-

Op. No.: 36648

Increases your field of vision behind the car when parking. A camera mounted in the tailgate now makes it possible for you to have "eyes in the back of your head" when parallel parking. The monitor displays what is behind the car.

The camera, which is practically invisible in the boot lid, sends the image digitally to a control module located in the load compartment. The monitor displays the car's bumper and a great deal of the area behind the car. Advanced image processing makes the image as true to life as possible. A mark at the reference lines indicates the car's approximate distance to objects behind the car.

The towbar is visible on the screen and the system helps when reversing to a trailer. It is also possible to zoom in closer to the towbar.

The system is activated when reverse gear is engaged, and is deactivated when the car is driven forward or by disengaging reverse gear.
