XC70: Electrical Upgrade ES To SE Stereo

[Puffster]

I have

Performance Sound Audio System – 1 x CD/ radio, 4 x 20W Amplifier, Aux. Input and 6 Speakers

I want

High Performance Sound Audio System – 1 x CD /radio, 4 x 40 W Amplifier, USB and Aux. Input (MP3/WMA compatible) and 8 Speakers

& to also take advantage of the BT handsfree system

What would I have to do? Is it possible? Worthwhile? Really after the BT for handsfree but the stereo isn't particularly loud either.

not sure what car you've got, I don't think Bluetooth can be added in, there are official Volvo USB/Ipod accessories that can be added in tho.

I used a grom for a long time in a 2005 & 2007 wuth a HU805, works as an external cd changer, bluteooth support is a bit iffy mind

I bought one of these and just stream music through bluetooth and it gives me hands free for phone.Plugs into the aux socket.

I then found this with some searching on here

This replaces the aux plug and allows you to control bluetooth from the steering wheel. I haven`t bought one because the btc45 does just fine.

As for the output power I`ll pass on that as mine is loud enough for me

That looks interesting, thank you.
