I presume you have looked at Post 6 in this thread. I shows the panel off, and the back of the panel.

I'm pretty sure mine doesn't have that spring clip in what would be the lower right corner when viewed from the outside. |

I posted about a year ago about the difficulty of accessing the fusebox. In the end I used the OBD port which is much easier and if you think the dealer will complain that you have affected the warranty you can just unplug it.

I don't want to use the OBD port because I want the cameras running when the car's in for service. Also the BlackVue OBD option doesn't have great reviews on Amazon. |

Funny that you should mention having the camera running while it's in for a service. Slightly different but we handed over our keys at Gatwick to have the car valet parked. Once back home we thought it wise to review the footage.
Now, since we got the car we've been shocked at the blinking awful turning circle and were intrigued to watch and listen to someone else in it. As the car is driven into the multi-storey car park for us to collect I watched the driver try to make the first up-ramp. "Damn" he mutters as he comes to a halt and then shunts backwards and forwards to get it to point the right way. Next up-ramp is met with "Oh, not again" followed by back and forth. So funny and good to see that he didn't push onwards and take the wheels down the kerb.

As can be seen in the pic of the panel, there's a clip at the back centre, with a velcro pad at the bottom. Just left of centre is another clip post and right of centre, between the two small white rectangles, is the post which broke off. The pic of the tunnel shows the broken post still in the slot and this will not budge at all, despite being attached with a large flat blade screwdriver to try and lever it out, and with long nose pliers to pull it out, which is a pity because I was going to try to glue it back to the panel. As it is, if I do get it out it'll probably be butchered beyond use. Anyway, now that I've got this far, is there a known "always live" connection in the tunnel, so that I can use the BlackVue Power Magic Pro box? |

v90 hard wired dashcam
The v90 appears to have the same panel access to the cigar lighter socket.
I looked at tapping in to the fusebox in the passenger footwell but using the 12v socket in the centre console is easily the simplest way to do it. As other posts have said, move the passenger seat as far back as it will go, then remove the panel which pulls off easily, no snapped fasteners! There is quite a lot of space under the 12v socket so making the connections is quite easy. Black to -ve and blue/white to +ve. Dashcam now all wired in. |

When I picked up our V60 I asked about fitting s dash-cam and the conflicting advice I'd seen. The Salesman told me that they had access to some form of recommended technical bulletin from Volvo which provided a minimum safe distance measurement where it would be safely clear of any conflict with the intellisafe module. He has still to provide this but I've told my insurance company that for the moment at least I'll not have mine fitted. If I get this 'safe distance' guidance measurement I'll post on here.
