hi BestGear
do you know where i can pick up the yellow Ignition cable in the car and also does the car radio have a ariel port at the back of it. i was thinking of getting a hardwired FM modulator and plugging it in between the radio and the ariel cable for better sound ? |

There is switched 12V in the centre console already - so you can use that. The only downside of that supply is that it gets cut during starting, as do several of the switched 12v supplies (eg wipers etc...) Re modulator - I would stick with the FM one of the type I used as the Volvo use has an aerial amp in the rear roof area and the connection to the head unit is really best left as is methinks. Its possible to fit a modulator in there I expect but would question if its worth the hassle over the other type. David |

OK, as you need a permanent live as well as switched, then I guess its back to the fuse box. Just watchout re the switched power being cut when on engine start - that may cause you a problem/irritation. David |

Hi Again,
Thanks for your help thus far!! I went for Pioneer 7inch widescreen, but after trying to get them to kit in a spare set of XC90 headrest's I've given up & picked up a new set of XC90 headrest with screens in, so Pioneer one's are going back onto ebay?! I'm binnig the Changer & should get my micro player any day now, got my fm module ready... Just a few questions! would PM you but I'm still to new Where & how will I power the screens from, they come with (according to the pics) 3.5 jack for Sound & plug for power, will I be cutting the plug & wiring it too.... ?? Also, I want to run wireless head phones in the back, any suggestion on a OK ok set with a receiver Cheers again |

Thanks again!!
I have the following Volvo headrest 40005589, Do you know If they come with IR receivers?? or should I be looking for headphone sets that come with their own receivers, as they double in price?/ P's did you have any diaigrams on how you installed your Mico set-up... Did you use splitter for sound from headphones & Fm Module? Cheers JA |

Hi
I cannot confirm that part number - are these the dealer or factory fit headrest monitors? If they are the dealer fit headrests, they do have IR receivers built in - that is what the 3.5mm jack socket is for. I dont use these IR receivers as the headphones are IR not RF.

Hi - I did do a diagram so will have a look - I am sure I posted it before. Its simple really - video output on Player is high enough to drive both screens directly. The audio again is simply split to FM and to headphone transmitted - all phonos or 3.5mm jacks - no cutting and tape - all just using off the shelf splitters. David |

Hi Bestgear!
a few questions if I may As mentioned, I've recently picked up a set of (new) so I was told Volvo Genuine Headrest screens, part no 40005589, do you know if they defo for a XC90 as it appears, I could be wrong, that the poles are in a narrower position then my current ones!! Also.... Popped into My local Maplins today, hoping for their workers to confirm what I would need to power my Cyclone Mirco player in my car!! They directed me to a unit called a inverter (I think thats wht they said) What did you use to power it!! any makes & model no's would be so helpful, as the guys in there were useless! (well today they were) Thanks |
