I am aware of that, the iMIV is 175 euros at present.

Tim.

P.S. The camera is normally 95 euros, so a 45 euro discount is worth grabbing if you Wish to buy.

It was on my wishlist but the iMIV doesn't appear to be compatible with the XC90's

The other reverse camera solution for the XC90 is the VBB4 for 275 EUR which isn't too bad either...

As far as I can see the only requirement is a DVD-RTI and a HU radio.

Maybe an email to Bob at volvotech could clarify the issue.

The price reduction plus free shipping is worth further enquiries.

Tim.

P.S. If you choose to order (whatever) the free shipping ends on 15/2.
I've just ordered a reversing camera kit plus CFE.

I apologize for the intrusion into this thread, but would anyone who has purchased the VBB4 backup camera kit be willing to copy the instruction manual for me?

I purchased a new but never installed VBB4 kit from another forum member, but unfortunately the manual was not included and Bob at volvotech is refusing to send me one without purchasing a new kit directly from volvo tech. So, now I have the kit but no idea how to install it!

Just an update on another thread related to this on.

http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=223712

The free shipping deal has ended but the 'cheaper' reversing cameras are still there.

I am sorry whofeelsitknowsit I can't help in your situation. I found Bob to be very helpful.

Tim.

Our group buy is still open so none of us have placed any orders. I'm sure if anyone gets a VBB they'd be willing to share the instructions though...

Does the original purchaser not have it to send on?

He doesn't, and I didn't realize that because I was told it was coming with the instructions. The only instructions included were a wiring diagram. I think it may just be because the kit is several years old. I understand the instruction manuals are much more detailed now.

Default Additional product to be included FOC with Group Buy orders

Hi all, just got this from Volvotech:

"We've created a new product, USB charger fixed mount.
Product is online already.
http://www.volvotech.eu/usbcharger-fixed

We will offer a free set per order for your forum-group-buy friends.
(instead of spending on advertising the product we have decided to support the Volvo forum group buys in the different countries and give them for free with a iMIV, CFE, VBB or MMMi+ set.)"

Essentially it's a dual outlet USB socket which can replace the 12v socket / cigar lighter. I was going to buy something similar from ebay anyway. However, this is a nice sweetener from Volvotech.

Ideally just need a few more members to commit please so we can secure the 5% discount
