Are they actually the same company or partnered? The VolvoTech (based in the Netherlands) site sends customers from Scandinavia to the VParts site.

I was wondering if:

1. anyone has installed one of these in a V50 MY2004-2006 and was it straightforward?

2. how do you pair your device with this bluetooth receiver? If it is always ready to pair, then what is to stop someone hijacking your stereo when you're in traffic and starting playing something awful?

Thanks!
1/ think my kit was made for the V70 but might have same bits installed behind the hand brake allowing a simple install. You disconnect the headphone socket in the armrest cubbie and use this connector for the kit, probably identical in both cars. Look at the online video.
2/ pairing is easy, in my case show up a 'Vparts' and pair right away. Suppose some saddo might hook up if you sit still but how likely is that.
