What is the company name and how much did they ask for tinting? as I need to get my rear side windows and rear window tinted (old black ktint removed from rear window)?

Yes, volvos that have the 'Premium' or high performance radios have an amp in the boot behind the panel on the left.

Cheers

It's alpha1 auto, they quoted me under £400 for the parrot supply and fit plus all windows behind the driver tinted with I think it was luminol? So on that basis it's probably £175-£200 for the tint. A friend had his 320d Beemer done their and the quality is mint, they look like factory tinted.

I'm looking at the S40 SE Sport 2.0 Diesel on an 05 plate for £5,795, with 99k miles. 1 owner full volvo service history..,

It has the heated leather seats, heated elec mirrors, elec drivers seat, cruise control climate control. So fairly spec'd...

I have a few questions really...

1) What's kinda mileage will this car do before any major work is needed?

2) Is it possible to get an aux in kit so that I can use my iphone and listen to music off that? (it has a parrot kit installed for nokia, not sure if that can be modded)

3) Has anyone had the 2.0D Rica Chipped? If so what combined MPG do you now get and is the 0-60 quicker?

4) What things can you do with a diesel engine to help reduce noise? ie oils etc?

Get yourself a BMW mate - you will regret buying a S40!!!!!

I considered a BMW for a second but my better judgement took hold, besides I didn't want to be labelled a d1ck

[Jonnieb2009]

lol, Ive had a BMW, fancied a change as I didnt want to look like as you say BMN a d'ck or a sales rep (same difference), they are common as muck.

Another bonus of having a Volvo is if your flying down the outside lane of the motorway people often move over because they don't know if your the police or not. Hehe!

Ok, i'm going with the Parrot, AMP is in the boot, i know i need SOT 45 but where do i get a extension from?

[Jonnieb2009]

BMN,

I bought mine off Ebay, typical example:-

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/06-428B-2-5m-P...item230600d403

I fed this cable up through the headlining of the car and down the front windscreen pillar to behind the glovebox where it connects to the Parrots Amp.

SOT-045 similar price
