New additions

[VillageContractor]

Hi,

I bought a second hand 2013 XC90 D5(200) from the Volvo dealer recently but it's pretty bare. No navigation, bluetooth, heated seats, etc.

Are there any extras that I can add on? Do Volvo offer this or is it done privately?

Thanks

Hello, and welcome to XC90 ownership.

None of the items which you've listed can be added post-manufacturing by your Volvo dealer. Most (if not all) are technically impossible and that not withstanding, would be prohibitively expensive. (Possible exception is Bluetooth, if you don't have Volvo-on-call but even then, I'm not sure that the parts are still available)

Useful additions which I know can be made by Volvo are front-parking sensors and a rear parking camera (if you like that kind of thing, as I know I do). Tow bars, roof rails, roof boxes and bike carriers are all available.

But the best value for money Volvo OEM add-ons, in my book, have to be the heavy rubber floor mats and boot mat protector.

Thanks for your post, the ones youve mentioned are the ones I’ve seen. Ill probably get a roof rack ar some point however i dont have a screen so dont think i can get a rear parking camera.

Thanks

Er, yes. Good point, well made!

There are some great aftermarket options for ICE and satnav which provide the screen and and camera plus latest bluetooth and ipod connectivity:

I cannot justify ripping out the Volvo Satnav on mine as is OK but not brilliant - you do not have this problem!

As has been said - retro fitting the genuine Volvo parts is likely to be prohibitively expensive if possible at all.

For Bluetooth I would recommend the Bury CC9068 kit, when I fitted mine I wired it only to the front driver side speakers only - this means that you have to turn off the radio when you get a call but it doesn't then mute the rear parking sensors.

With regard to heated seats you can get generic retro-fit kits on ebay for less that £100. Fitting is fiddly but not rocket science - best to get a experienced car seat trimmer to do it so they don't disturb the airbags in the side of the seat.

I would not fit second have Volvo seats as they need the proper electronics to control them.

I fitted an Android navigation system (that goes where the screen should be) which also has bluetooth hands-free and it has an input for a reverse camera.
