HI everyone..

Does anybody have any experience with installing additional eqipment in a Volvo XC 90 from 2004 with Premium sound system, the one with fiber optics?

I need a cable that can connect with the CAN BUS to the headunit, and where i can connect the parrot bluetooth adapter.

Hope someone can help me with this issue - Thx

 

I installed Parrot Ck3100 in to '05 XC90 using Volvo Original BT harness-Volvo sells its own harness and relay made for Volvo BT kit (made by motorola). I had to slice Parrots power wires and speaker output wires into Volvo harness, but otherwise it was a Plug-and play solution where sound comes only from 2 front speakers, and rear speakers are muted.

If you search here or on Swedespeed.com there is detailed description of installation of Volvo's BT kit

 

Super - thank you very much for that reply - that was very helpful.

 

Don't use switched power from Volvo harness by steering column-use switched power from cigarette lighter /power socket by the radio-if you use power from the OEM harnes, the switched power remains ON about 2 min. after you turn OFF the ignition-so BT remains ON also for 2 min. basically u leave the car and someone calls you-the call goes to the car's BT not your cell within 2 min. after you left the car... very annoying...

Tell Us how it went- the install..

 

was it successful man? how did the installation go?

 

I have the Volvo unit and want to upgrade to the Parrot but this is over my head. How would I find an installer in Minneapolis who could do this?
