Stereo/Phone/SatNav : Bluetooth receiver hardwire install

[StatusRed]

With some advice from lockstock I've finally given my S40 bluetooth capability!

I wanted something that was hidden (like the GROM I have in my C70) so I've got a bluetooth receiver module hidden in the cubby which is fed from a USB C power cable I've hard wired into the car (tapping into the rear cigarette lighter's power). This works really well and the bluetooth receiver I'm using has a "Car mode" which wakes / turns off based on when it detects power from the USB cable which is ignition live, so as soon as the car turns on the receiver powers up and works as if it was a factory fitted option.

Only thing I really had to do after making the power loom was to remove the centre console which is a 5 minute job after you've done it once before.

Here's the USB C wiring loom I made:


Here's the only thing you see (USB C power cable in the cubby - this can also be used to charge a phone etc..):
