Default V60 Bluetooth fitment

Hello,
I'm new the the Volvo world after purchasing a 12 plate V60 R design. It doesn't have bluetooth installed and was wanting to know if anyone has experience with fitment of kits. I have searched the forum and have seen Parrots and GROM units, but not much feedback on the quality of these. My preference is a factory look and feel with bluetooth calling and audio streaming. Is there a dealer fit kit? Anyone has experience other kits that work well? Thanks.

Does your v50 have the audio socket with the USB in the centre storage?

If yes I can highly recommend a "firefly" Bluetooth streaming plug.

It plugs into the aux phono plug and the USB next to it charges itself whilst their is power to the car. Absolutely brilliant and there's nothing else I have found that does it as good as this!


Much neater than a parrot and a fraction of the price. I have one set up in my Volvo even though it has Bluetooth, it sounds just as good and is multi use so passagers can play music through it too.
