Unfortunately with the FM Modulator, you need access to the aerial port at the back of the head unit, which means taking the whole waterfall off. |

Luckily mine had an AUX input.... I was also lucky to find a new unused Alpine EZI-DAB with the USB input as the current versions don't have that function.

And when you said "I then ran the USB charging port off the wires to the cigarette lighter", how do you do this? Does it involve some extra wiring or is it just a case of plugging it in somewhere? Final (for now!) question - in doing all this, did the radio have to be disconnected, and if so what do you do about the code, or is one not required? Thanks in advance! |

My v50 didn't have USB either, so it involved some extra wiring, but nothing too difficult. But bear in mind that I'm using the USB only for power, not for data. (Edit: when I say "nothing too difficult", it will involve crimping connections onto wires. So you'll need the raw materials, a wire cutter, stripper and crimper.) That combined USB and aux adapter has two seperate sets of wires coming out of it - Audio ones for the aux input, and a standard USB cable. The audio connection is plugged into to the FM modulator (that's connected to the aerial input at the back of the radio), so that's just a matter of plugging the right connections in. For the USB connection, I took to a spur from the power supply to the powerpoint in the center console. I used these piggyback spade terminal connectors to do that without cutting any wires, and it's easy to put back to original if necessary. I've an inline fuse on the new power wire. This then powers this double USB powerpoint, which is securely and secretly mounted inside the center console (and can be easily accessed by popping off the gear stick gaiter or under the little tray behind the waterfall). The USB connection from the combined USB and aux adapter is plugged one of these ports. My magnetic charging pad (that's mounted up on the center vent) is plugged into the second USB port). The radio did have to be disconnected to attach the FM modulator - that's the hardest part of the whole operation (and isn't that hard, just a bit tedious). There's no code required for the radio - the head unit is hard-encoded to the car. Edit: here's a diagram of the wiring: Last edited by phutyle; Mar 8th, 2019 at 15:00. |

Volvo AUX input adapter via Wired FM Modulator AVFM-MOD01 with Volvo aerial adapters included https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0754X2P..._8ZIQCbFH9EQV9
I bought the device and installed. It works well. There is a little interference but you cant hear it once audio is playing. |
