What can be added aftermarket?
Is there any official Volvo options, eg packs, or BLIS, auto parking etc etc that can be added aftermarket officially?
I know CarPlay can be added for £300, wonder if anything else can? I presume a lot is built in but disabled software wise? Is there a way to get them unlocked? Obviously at a cost. |

VERY disappointed mine only has the standard cruise control. I loved the adaptive cruise in my XC60 and used it regularly. I'd be interested in retro fit if it were available.

The thing I really wanted on my XC40 that I didn’t have on my last car was the 3D camera. I had to settle for a reversing camera instead. I had a front camera on my XC60 and the V60 I had before that, which provided a split view at 90 degrees left and right. Great when joining a road with lots of parked cars. I used it every day. This was dropped in 2017 so not available anymore. https://accessories.volvocars.com/Ac...%5Cc9%5Cc4.jpg

Hm.. I guess that would make an incredibly quiet B4 even quieter.. tempting.. 🙂
You think/know if there are aftermarket options?

Under bonnet insulation
Quote:
So I asked my Volvo dealer parts dept for a price. Their computer said there wasn’t a insulation panel for my car, but when I gave them the part number (31442796) they gave me a price of £217. In the end I bought a very clean used one from eBay for £64 and some clips for a couple of quid. It literally took 2 minutes to fit. TBH, I’m not sure how much difference it’s made. As you say, it’s already a quiet engine and I have a very gentle right foot which keeps the revs low most of the time. Having said that, Bentleys and Rollers have extremely quiet engines and they have a massive amount of engine bay insulation. I think it’s more to do with suppressing frequency resonance, rather than actual engine noise.

I imagine D3 and D4 used to come with it from the factory.

What I can say with certainty is that all the Volvos I’ve owned in the past (petrol and diesel) had under bonnet insulation fitted. I chose to add it to my XC40 because I wanted to and I could do so easily.
