A little bit of information, the unit is compatible with cars with base level audio and will have RCA audio outs for non-digital amps (4 channels + sub).

Its starting to look really interesting.

What's base level audio?

Looks like a great piece of kit. How much is it and aren't they phasing-out FM next year?

One last point, isn't front USB micro so not too good for memory sticks.

Volvo call it the 'Performance' system, it has the amp built into the audio unit in the dash.
The other options are 'High Performance' and 'Premium', both of which have a separate amp in the boot and use digital connections which makes adding non-Volvo stuff or trying to upgrade the 'Performance' system a real pain in the ...

Sorry, don't know about the other stuff.

Where is it? I haven't seen a thing just a small black box right to the plastic tray which - I believe - is the parking sensor...
