Where can I find the DAB module in S60 2012

S60cott · Jan 28th, 2020, 19:25

Just been told by Volvo mail dealers the cost to replace a faulty DAB module in my wife's S60 is about £600. So thought worth checking if its accessible to DIY. Have googled and can only find the radio head unit in the centre console... cant find any info on where the separate DAB module is..
Any info greatly appreciated. Regards Scott

I've looked to add DAB to my V60 (2013) as it does not have it but it is pre-wired, the wires are just behind the rear seat, as when I take out the spare wheel boot liner etc to fish out all the crud from a tip visit the connectors are there wrapped in foam.

I think i found the location on the Volvo website when I googled DAB which was when I discovered it was pre-wired.

Hope this helps.

I considered getting DAB added at the dealers a while ago but being a Yorkshireman of Scottish descent the cost put me off.

I mainly listen to audiobooks and podcasts on my phone using bluetooth and now I use an app called UK Radio which has loads of DAB and internet radio stations on, and it's free.
