Front and rear cameras
David,
Thank you so much for this post. We are located in the US and just purchased a pre-owned 2008 XC90 V8. I'd like to add a rear camera AND a front camera so the wife can park this beast! I'm comfortable working on cars, but I'm completely new to the XC and Volvo's in general. Here are my thoughts and questions: Quote:

As such, I think I would simply wire the rear camera to the Volvotech interface plug. Correct? Quote:

Since I won't use the second input on the Volvotech interface for a DVD input, I'd like to use it for a front-mounted camera. My thought is to have a switch activate the front camera, which would then overide the SatNav. Then if the car is put in reverse, the reverse camera would overide all other signals. What do you think? I'm thinking of wiring the front camera the same way you wired your DVD input into the SatNav. Can you please describe how you wired this particular feature? Did you use a rocker switch that basically "switches" the signal between two input sources? Details on what switch you used would be great too. Also, how does the Volvotech interface unit know that it should show the DVD input rather than the SatNav when you hit the rocker switch? Does it have "intelligence" or are you simply bypassing the SatNav signal with the rocker switch? Also, I have two switch "blanks" in the front console (below the climate control switches) and would like to mount the rocker switches here. Would the factory switches work for what I'm trying to do? I like the "factory" look. Sorry for all the questions, but I'd like to get this right the first time without ruining anything! Thanks in advance for your help and patience.

I'm confused, did you buy this?
http://www.volvotech.eu/product_info...products_id/60 If so, does this allow a DVD in the under seat DVD player to be shown on the Sat Nav screen? |

tomtom
"Some guys have even ripped out the original screen and mounted their own replacement screen within the existing satnav screen plastic housing"
carrying on from that is it somehow posible to fit a tomtom into the grill of a non satnav equipped xc ? my tt 530 is very similar in size to the volvo unit , at present i mount it on the heater vent , but I'd love to " hardwire" it dave |

I have just seen folks replace the Volvo actual lcd screen with other panels...fiting a tomtom screen could be done in an original volvo satnav screen hosuing, but the problme would probably be around the motorised life/close as this is a software command to the unit and not just applying 12v to a wire... if you got a duff satnav screen and mounting kit, you could always leave it "up" - that could work...or figure out your own motor control for the up/down.

Yes, can replay dvd/media player sound through the headunit - or RF headphones. I used a cheap (but surprisinglyt good) FM modulator from ebay - 12v supplied and 3.5mm stereo jack in - just like you would use for an iPod for example. You just them tune your radio to an unused channel and away you go.... Sound is not as good as you would get with an AUX input but as that option is not always available, this is the next best thing. See the DIY RSE Part 1 thread - there is a picture of it in there. David |
