Legend Entertainment System Installed in 2013 XC90 - Page 2

There's a Volvo XC90 facebook group where a couple of members have installed it - all were very complimentary about the support from the seller.

Everything is done through the facebook group, but there are essentially 6 versions, with prices to match spec.

They all have the same size screen, it's the under the hood features that differ.

Are these Legend units also a DAB radio?

Not directly, the Legend supports a USB plug in DAB module as an add-on. Once installed DAB works seamlessly just as all the other apps via the touch screen.

I've been a wondering. With the original design of the car, the antenna was under the plastic panel at the back of the roof.

Wonder how well a DAB antenna would work there instead of clagged on the window (which frankly, just looks unsightly lol)

From my own experience of DAB, reception is always the week part of the system. I would think that an external aerial is worth investigating. There might even be a part from another model that fits in the plastic thingy.

Whole job took me around 5 hours to install but probably take an hour if I had to do it again as I've never tried a job like this before.

Great job, looks great. It's one of the best upgrades I have done to my xc90. I went a stage further and also installed a 9" OLED screen above the dash purely to show maps / navigation in line of sight. The top screen uses an independent speaker behind the dash for navigation. The Legend does everything else and both screens are independent of one another.
