Optional extras

[scvolvo]

Had a couple with heated rear seats myself.

I can't think of anything else I've had a bit odd option wise

My C70 originally had the double DIN SC901 I think it was with the 3CD changer that goes in the slot. The CD holder I have is as per in the pic but with an aftermarket Pioneer single DIN stereo . I don't really think theres really anywhere else it could go with a double DIN unit if thats what you have? Having said that it is basically a box thats slots in if I remember correctly so I guess you could bung it in the glovebox.

I did buy it a new from the main dealer few years ago, not that long after buying the car

There was nothing wrong with the original stereo apart from it wouldn't play 'home burned compliation discs'. The Pioneer stereo I've got in now sounds markedly better and plays mp3 cds to boot. Really should get around to wiring up the electric ariel though.... (probably 4 years and counting now )

By the time I bought my C70 T5 GT in 2003, there weren't many options as most of the goodies, e.g. Pro Logic sound system, were fitted as standard. So apart from the usual stuff like leather seats and auto box, both of which were quite pricey as I recall, I also specified the lowered dynamic suspension and asked for a strut brace to be fitted (which wasn't an option so much as an extra). I also got one of the aerial down switches when they were still available, an essential item on a C70 if you're going to use the CD player or have an iPod of other such device hooked up to it.

This seems like a appropriate thread to ask, what extras does the S.E model have? -99 S70

the elusive aerial switch never ever seen one of those i had to make my own as volvo had stopped selling them

Indeed, it would be easier to find hens' teeth than an aerial down switch!

But the ultimate (well maybe not ultimate, but darned exclusive!) option would be to have the electrically folding mirrors on a C70. Never an option on the UK market, but available on the Japanese market. The mirrors, switch and wiring harness were all available some years ago but the wiring harness was effectively the main harness on the bulkhead and would have been ridiculously expensive to install.

i did look into this the mirrors were £240 each and the wiring loom was £560 and if i could get a set from a japanesse scrapper would fit them to the v70 tomorrow

Apart from the S.E Lux equipment I have the rear spoiler, wooden steering wheel, RTI, Integrated phone with extra handset in middle armrest, rear PDC, aluminium thingies on the lower side of the body (sorry, my poor English lets me down here) some rather dodgy green LED flashing on the inside of the car and according to the Volvo dealer a strange effort of an aftermarket LED where there is the standard alarm. Apart from two lame keys that is about it for me.
I would like to have the auxiliary heating yet that probably cost ridiculous money I fear .....

Do excuse me, my last post was in the wrong thread: for my 855 CD I think it was all the usual CD equipment without any other extra's, I did love the light wood on the 855 R's ......

Your one will be grey, the holy grail, I've had to settle for a black one like the 850 switches.

I think Dragos on the forum has the folding mirrors.
But where would the switch go as its the same style as all the other fog light switches etc and I don't have a blank left!
