Switch to disable to reverse sensors

keithdixon · Jul 9th, 2011, 17:53

I am wanting to put a switch into the console to disable the reversing sensors but want the switch to look factory.
Has anyone done this?
Are the switches std 12v with illumination or do they go through the canbus?
Do volvo sell blank switches or are they all labled (e.g. TRACS)

Is it a factory reversing kit you have?

When I retro fitted them to my V70 the kit contained a switch, this fitted into the row of switches at the bottom of the centre console and disables the sensors. For reversing with a trailer iirc?

It's not factory kit, what was the cost of the factory kit? does the car need programming?

ALL reversing Sensor kits come WITH an ON/OFF Switch it is usually located in the boot adjacent to the "Bleeper"

(Mine is located on the Boot "Roof" just under where the Rear Window joins the Boot lid)

In 2009 it was around £140 from Rufe (FRF Volvo Swansea) on here, along with £10 for the programming at the local Volvo dealer.
