Bluetooth phone kit into aux port... cheap!!
Hi all.
This is my first contribution to these forums. I hope it's useful for someone. I've just bought a 2007 XC90 Executive and needed a handsfree solution for phone calls and music streaming. I found these things on Amazon for £13 that only need a USB feed for power, and plug into the aux port to send audio to the head unit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01L1INR4A/ I wired it in this weekend and it works perfectly. I can't believe how cheap this was for the convenience. It behaves as a handsfree phone kit but also controls music playback once I've got something playing on my phone. That's the little controller square below the heated seat buttons. It blends into the AC controls and is not very noticeable at all. At night, however, it does have a slowly-pulsing blue LED behind the buttons that might be a bit annoying. Fitted down there though it's nowhere near my line of sight so I hope it won't be distracting. I've installed a switched power source using a piggyback fuse on the one supplying the 12v sockets so apart from the control unit nothing at all is visible in the interior. It's nice and neat. Happy to answer any questions if this is interesting to someone. |
