Hi there,
Recently bought a 2013 V70 D5 model. It has the Sensus 7 inch screen and "High Performance" Audio. It's also got the DVB TV option (so I can listen to BBC, Dave etc - No video on the move) plus Screens in the rear Headrests - so it plays DVDs and does Bluetooth Audio Streaming. It also has a USB socket in the Centre console and a remote control. Bluetooth Streaming also, which is nice... iPOD function too, though I've not got an iPOD! All in all not a bad Audio system - what it doesn't have is:
My Question: Are there any upgrades or Software upgrades available for this version of Audio system? If so where and how much? Thanks in advance

There are one or two very useful threads on swedespeed forums if you’re interested in adding CarPlay.

You could. You can't. Now you can add DAB+ only.
Navigation is no longer available, since there are no new maps for the system that fitted cars up to and including model year 2013. From model year 2014 a different navigation system was introduced, and that's still supported with map updates. |

The FM/AM radio antennas on these cars aren't terrific. But if you have consistent problems there may be an issue with the antenna amplifier and/or its connection to the antenna. The antennas are printed on the rear side window.

Meanwhile I'm still keen to get DAB added if it's at all possible. Which its looking like it has from your messages - thanks. My Car has got DVB-T (TV) but it looks like this doesn't find Radio stations - I thought Digital TV had Radio? Found some links on Volvos site too https://accessories.volvocars.com/en...C-514206-4/V70) https://accessories.volvocars.com/en...ent/VCC-516541 At the moment also my Wifes XC60 is a 2014 model with DAB - could I nick some parts from this to test things out in my V70? Photo of DVB unit attached from V70 and DAB unit in wifes XC60 But does this also mean I have the right Aerial and wiring to add DAB? I've searched and something online from Volvo calls for "Option Code 683" DAB Prep for the V70... I can also see lots of Volvo 31409953AC DAB ECU Control Units For Sale on eBay - which looks to be the main unit... between £30 and £70 These guys Cartronics seem to offer it too - so I may give them a call tomorrow and enquire https://www.cartronics.co.uk/origina...tems-for-volvo What would happen if I bought one and tried it in place of the DVB-T unit? Any ideas? I guess I would still need the VIDA download / Software to the Sensus Connect head unit to make it play? I also called up an Independent Volvo Dealer today and was quoted £975 for a Volvo fit - seems steep when the boxes are around £50 on eBay... Quite an interesting project if anyone can point the way or has done this? It's intriguing me now and I don't want to go down the separate unit "Pure" approach... be great to see if I could do this and layout the information for others to follow... PS: I've given up on Satnav - phone and Waze works fine... with a Magnet mount to the Dash.
