RSE /AUX Switch in trans tunnel
Hi all,
I've just bought a 2011 XC90 SE Lux. Nice car, apart from the infotainment system really showing its age - even my dad's 2005 BMW 3 series is a million years ahead. Luckily the rest of the car makes up for the pre-historic setup. Anyway, my car has the rear seat entertainment system installed. It kinda works, the main issue being a broken switch in the trans tunnel which allows for the DVD audio to be played through the speakers. I'll be getting some new IR headphones for the kids so I don't have to hear it, but I still want to fix the switch. Volvo have told me the part number is 31324131, and it is..... £72!! Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can solve this more cheaply!? |

This seems to be a unique part and therefore you have no choice but to use their part. Welcome to the world of Volvo spares!

1. Dismantle and repair the switch (depending on what has broken and the nature of the break) 2. search Ebay / wreckers for 2nd hand parts 3. Go to Volvo for a new part 4. Fit some other non-original switch The switch is a simple toggle switch, depending on your resourscefulness and the nature of the breakage you may be able to find similar toggle switches which you can scavenge for parts.

Yeah I think it's a simple DPDT switch (i.e. on-on). I left it at home so I should really get on with some real work rather than trawling the internet for a replacement, with only my memory of what it looks like to go by.
The switch itself is knackered, not just the plastic bit at the top. I suppose I could try and find one from a breakers but my guess is there aren't going to be too many of them about. Edit: No. 3 is a last resort! |

You could try phoning FRF Volvo, they might do a discount for you when you quote the forum code (C3)

Ah! you're right, thanks. Searching online I see many sources for the part in the US, but none in the UK. Does anyone know of a UK-based genuine Volvo parts shop?
