Thank you John, I’ve ordered the one in the link you sent me so hopefully when it comes it will be all sorted thank you for helping

[Conn3h]

For those that are interested I can now also confirm that the remote that John gave me the link for works perfectly thanks very much for your help

Now I'm really confused, so please help out. We purchased a used 08 XC90 with the factory installed DVD player. We DO HAVE THE NAVIGATION REMOTE. Does this remote work with the DVD player? We tried, but the DVD would not turn on with this navigation remote. Do we need a separate remote for the DVD player? We are headed to Florida this week and I REALLY want a remote for the DVD player. I have also read that if we pick up a universal remote that we need a code for the remote. Does the DVD remote control the sound system so you can have the 5 way listening system?

Be aware of the different DVD player systems fitted to XC90s over the years and in different markets

The UK had a special, UK-only, 10-DVD changer in the cargo area of the XC90. Other countries never had this.

The standard European and USA market DVD player is a single-disc DVD player in the center console armrest.
I have this in my Euro-market 2009 XC90.

Even the single-disc player went through many generations:
2005-2006 For chassis number: 137372-258728 Gen 3.2
2006-2007 For chassis number: 258729-371137 Gen 4.1
2007-2008 For chassis number: 371138-* Gen 4.2
2009- Gen 4.3

I have generation 4.3
You likely have generation 4.2

IDENTIFICATION OF DVD SYSTEM FROM VIDA
Generation 3.1
Equipped with a remote control that has 29 buttons.
Has two 7" screens.

Note! When replacing the Rear seat entertainment module (RSE) the remote control must also be replaced. The new remote control, which must be used, is generation 3.2. The chassis number as set out above must now be used to distinguish the systems.


Generation 3.2
Equipped with a remote control that has 16 buttons.
Has two 7" screens.
Here's one on eBay (the bigger remote is the DVD remote)
https://www.ebay.com/itm/VOLVO-S80-X...MAAOSwkLJbG9Be


Generation 4.1
Is equipped a remote-control that has 22 buttons of which one button is red and 21 are white.
In addition, there are two sockets for headphones on the AUX panel. One socket for the left-hand screen and one socket for the right-hand screen.
Has two 7" screens.
Here's the Gen 4.1 Quick Guide, with pictures of the Remote

Generation 4.2
Is equipped a remote-control that has 22 buttons of which one button is red and 21 are white.
Has two 7" screens.
Remote looks same as Gen 4.1

Generation 4.3
Equipped with a remote control that has 17 buttons.
If the system is equipped with a TV (DVB-T) the remote control has 29 buttons. In addition, there is a visible card slot for a subscription/program card on the TV receiver.
The TV receiver is installed in the cargo compartment, in XC90 on the right-hand side under the cover above the wheel housing.
In S80 (07-) it is installed on the left-hand side inside the side panel, and in V70 (08-)/XC70 (08-) in the storage compartment below the cargo compartment floor.
Has two 8" screens.
Here's a picture of one

Roof-mounted system for rear seat entertainment
Model Model year
XC90 2005–2010
The roof-mounted system consists of a unit with an 8-inch monitor with integrated DVD player.
The unit is mounted in the roof between the front seats. The unit has a monitor that flips down/folds up automatically when switched on/off.
Roof mounted RSE is available in two versions:

Generation 1 has the DVD player in the roof by the cargo compartment (above the right-hand head restraint), whilst the monitor is in the roof.
Generation 2 has the DVD player and monitor in the same unit in the roof.


Rear seat entertainment system (RSE), Myron & Davis
Model Model year
S80 (07-) 2008-*
V70 (08-) 2008-*
XC70 (08-) 2008-*
XC90 2008-*
XC60 2009-*
S60 (11-) 2011-
V60 2011-

* Only applies to North America. XC60 applies globally 2010-.

The system consists of two brilliant 7-inch, 16:9 format LCD screens. The screens can be adjusted manually to minimise the risk of reflections and mirroring in strong light conditions. The DVD players are integrated in the screens. Media discs are loaded from underneath, which reduces the risk of small objects being inserted into the DVD player. The system is equipped with AUX inputs, which make it possible to connect external media sources: iPod®, MP3 player, video camera or games console. The system also contains two pairs of wireless headphones and a wireless remote control. The DVD devices have been thoroughly tested and meet Volvo's high demands on safety.
What makes Myron & Davis RSE unique and easy to separate from the other systems is that each head restraint contains a monitor and a DVD player.

PS: PM me your VIN and confirm your market area (Europe, USA, UK, or other) and I'll tell you the applicable part number for the DVD remote for your car.

And just to add to the remote fun:
The car comes with 4 x audio/nav system remotes:

1. Navigation Remote (which you have). Supplied standard if navigation was fitted.
2. Audio System Remote - so the people in the back seat can control the radio etc. I have this. Was always an option. They appear on eBay from time to time.
3. DVD Player Remote - if you have a DVD player. You can use the player without the remote too, just not as easy.
4. Headphone Remote Controls, Left and Right: (optional) for connecting headphones for the rear seat, 2nd and 3rd row, so they can choose an independent audio source through their controls. Not needed for the IR headphones for the DVD system

I have a single disc 2005 Volvo with no remote. I'm pretty sure it's the 3.2 model above.


I can turn it on and play dvd's using a JVC vcr or dvd remote, and with universal remote apps on my smartphone. But I cannot get the volume to play in any way. The headphone jack only plays the Radio/CD with the select button, and my stereo has no AUX button or hookup. Tuning my radio to 88.1FM or whatever didn't work either (I tried the entire FM dial).

I would like to turn on the rear speakers for the dvd player, without the remote. Or be able to listen to the dvd player via the headphones, without the remote. Other than a $120 remote from Volvo, has anyone found any remote (universal, app or otherwise) that has the VITAL speaker/sound source button??

Any ideas?

Same issue with an XC90 2004. Where can I find the remote control?
Peter, I´m new here and I can't send you a PM yet.

[john langrick]

Hi, if you have the 10 DVD system in the boot area, see

https://www.remote-control-world.eu/...control-p-2374

Hope this helps

Where can I find the remote control?

There are one or two hidey-holes in the XC90 that could contain your remote(s). I assume that you have looked in the seat pockets and under the rear seats etc?

There is an elasticated pocket on the front of the driver and passenger seats. That is where I found mine.
