hu650 replacement
as mine only has AM and a cd changer (no fm which is annoying)
if i was to find a replacement 650 would vida need to be involved or can they just plumb in. alternatively an aftermarket unit is an option (double din) but would be nice if i could control the unit from the wheel like i do now (volume/tracks) ta |

wheel controls work on after market you just get a convertor box thing
my one is this https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/conn...RoCiQMQAvD_BwE but yours may be a different model personally I would vote for new stereo, touchscreen, android auto for maps etc, reverse camera if you want it, bluetooth for music and calls, a better amp built in .. you might have the under-seat amp which changes things slightly but mine sounds so much better than original (which was only off the head unit) I also put twin 12's in the boot but that's optional of course Last edited by stuart bowes; Jan 26th, 2024 at 15:11. |

I don't think you need VIDA. I swapped a HU850 (different radio) from a scrap car - cost me £20.00 - same year and part number and it worked fine. It threw a bit of a wobbly at first as the scrap car had parking sensors and mine doesn't, but after I pushed a few buttons the 'Parking sensors" message went away. HU650's are cheaper than HU850's so it would be worth a punt if you can find one for £20 or £30

I don't think you can swap a HU650 for a HU850. I changed my HU850 for another HU850 from a scrapyard
If I were you, I'd look for a second hand HU650 and put that in. It's a bit odd that AM and CD work but not FM. Are you sure the aerial is connected or not broken?

behind the head unit all looks well nothing seems to be disconnected
doesnt mean the coax to the adapter into the unit hasnt come apart i hadnt actually thought of it but i have read somewhere that solder becomes busted in the unit and it can fail and lose fm. but thanks for that will hunt for a 650 theyre going for 140 quid on ebay! |

have the aerial tags come loose on the rear left window (looks like a window heater element)
also isn't there some sort of secondary or booster aerial thing in the rear bumper ? |

As above, in the V70 mk2 estate there may be an aerial module/booster in the extreme right rear, in the cavity/space below the light fitting. That's where mine is. If so check it's plugged in or it could even be faulty.
I seem to recall your car is ex police which had some major issues directly after purchase ? If ex police likely any aerial system was "modified" to suit their purposes ? |
