Double Din Radio

mikespike · May 25th, 2019, 23:18

Evening all

Fitting a new double din stereo in the xc90. Pioneer with wireless apple carplay (got one in the other car and love it). I’m using the connects2 wiring loom with steering controls etc... but I have 2 questions

1. It has a microphone input (and come with microphone) but would prefer to use the factory fitted mic (it has Bluetooth in my car). Anyone have any idea where it is and where I would find the lead for it? Is there ima chance it’s included in the connects2 interface?

2. Similar to the above it has GPS. Would prefer to tap into the factory fitted receiver. Where is it and where is the wire for it?

Thanks

The factory microphone for the Telephone is mounted in the sunroof switch console, above the rear view mirror.
The microphone is cabled to the amplifier, under the right hand front set.
Refer to the wiring diagram, it's all there.

The factory GPS antenna is in the antenna housing in front of the rear view mirror, just behind the windscreen glass.

That is only the antenna.
The antenna coax cable is wired down to the navigation computer under the left front seat.
The GPS receiver is integrated into the navigation computer.

For cars with OnCall but no nav, there is a separate GPS receover which I think is in the dash somewhere, I am not sure where. I don't have it on my car.

Thanks.

Have just spent the morning trying to fit with the connects2 kit. Absolute disaster.

Couldn’t get it to work without plugging in the old radio and have now got an airbag warning.

Anyone does this before could you PM me

What are you replacing? standard? High Performance? Premiun?

Yes premium. Pioneer wireless CarPlay. Top of the range put one in my focus a few weeks ago and absolutely love it. Aviv z910.

Went out for an hour this afternoon. The. Came back and started again. It’s now 11pm and can finally say in finished. !!! Wasn’t the easiest of install but does look good.

A little annoyed that I can’t use the factory mic as I think it’s a lot better. If anyone knows how I could. Let me know.

And if anyone is going through this process give me a shout and I’ll do my best to help.

Final thing will be do try and clear this code. Have a volvotech connect plus. Wonder if that will do the job?

What reason prevents use from using the factory mic? It’s on its own coax xable all the way down to the amplifier.

It would be nice to see pics of the installation if you have some. We live pics.
