What bluetooth options does xc90 have?
#2
Hi there;
I have included the photo of the Bluetooth that came with my car. We got our XC90 used last month and it came with the Volvo's Bluetooth setup as seen here below the centre vents.
Is this what the dealer is quoting you $500 for?
It does work really well. It picks up my phone every time I start the car automatically and the sound comes through the factory speakers. The mic is located just above the rear view mirror. The stereo mutes automatically when you call out or a call comes in.
The only short-fall that I have encountered is that you have to load up the unit with your contact info individually and only holds about 30 contacts.
The only other Bluetooth that I have used was the Blue Ant ST3. That works from your contact list on your phone and is portable and works very well. Good loud sound and very clear; easy to use.

The one that is actually in my car is an actual Volvo OEM product specific to Volvos. It comes with it's own Volvo Accessory manual. It may be manufactured by Motorola but it does not state that anywhere in the manual.
I've checked the eBay site but was not able to find a complete unit for less that $275. There are specific harnesses for specific Volvo models and modules that is also required if you have Park Assist.
$500 to spend on a BT is very steep but then it may take the mechanics around 2 hours to install the unit to make it work seamlessly.
I don't know about how an aftermarket unit would incorporate with the Volvo HU or if it would work as it should....
I have used the Blue Ant ST3 and was very pleased with it's performance. Here is the link for that unit:http://www.blueant.com.au/products/s..._downloads.php
It's worth a look.

I inquired about bluetooth for my 2004 XC90. I was quoted $700. I was told to go to the website and look at accessories. I don't see it but I remember seeing a brochure and if I remember correctly it's a motorola that looks like what's on bikerjohn's picture. Do you guys think $700 is too much? I will ask around in other dealerships. Maybe others have cheaper price.

Xc 90 anti skid service req
in my 04 xc 90 awd. It is the yaw rate sensor that went bad. This sensor manages the skid when you're on snow or icy roadway. The sun roof drain was clogged and rain water collected in the floor on the right side under the passenger seat, not in the carpet. Right under the Right front seat is the amplifier and under that there is a space where the YAW SENSOR is attached. It's a very easy change/fix/ you tube videos, but expensive to buy. A used one is about $225.usd but a new one can cost $550 +

I'm going with this one if I can find it, https://gromaudio.com/store/most_ada...optofiber.html
sound quality and loudness just fine fully integrates with 1 disk head unit needs a scan button. but get Bluetooth and aux and USB connectivity simple install.
around 550 I waiting until I hear back from the vendor what special order means. if its take my cash maybe it will come nope lol.
"Update"
So After 611 CAD I will get it by the 8th I ordered HD radio module as well figured always wanted HD.
My cd won't work after but I've used those for years.
I looked at different options even the dealer This was the best option I can play my USB sticks fully functional handsfree Bluetooth best part is all controls work well that's the plan
just another option.
