V50 Trim : - Dashboard Mount

28081947 · Aug 15th, 2014, 20:43

We have just purchased a 2010 V50 S Drive from a dealer, there is a mount on the dashboard and wondered if this can be identified from the image below.

Thanks in advance
Regards

Yes they've just screwed it to the dashboard but it looks like there is a cable underneath, Think it must be either for a sat nav or phone

Looking at the writing on it i have found this http://www.eserviceinfo.com/index.ph...ove+jve+s2+94v. Still unsure exactly what it is but think it's some kind of control board for something??

If that was from a volvo dealer under the SELEKT used car scheme , they MUST remove this and repair the dash , it is part of the conditions of the SELEKT used car scheme ..

^^^^^^ Good Advice ^^^^^

I'd definitely pursue that course of action. That's unsightly and has made a meal of the dashboard. Was it previously an emergency services vehicle?

everything I could see online was that it was a mount for a pc like bit of hardware.

I too would guess emergency services as they wouldn't really care about mounting it neatly as they'd just want it secure.

I think it may be a DC-to-DC converter, as you rightly say mainly for mobile equipment/laptops used by emergency services typically, definitely get it removed by the dealer if you can as will possibly affect future resale value if a future buyer wrongly thinks it's been thrashed by the emergency services.

Thanks for all your replies, I have been away for the weekend without internet access the car wasn't purchased through a volvo dealer so this would not apply, all in all we are very happy with the car.

Thank you once again for all your replies.

I think I may have found out what the mount is, it appears to be for the Volvo Portable Sat Nav System, which is a Garmin.

Hope this information is of use to others and a Volvo Information Leaflet is here

I also found this on eBay
