Door lock switch on dashboard!!?!
Just noticed that some later 850s had a switch on the dash to lock/unlock the central locking!!
It always annoyed me that to unlock my doors i have to open and close my door to activate the central locking, now i have the button on the driver's door half unscrewed so i can open it that way - still not ideal... Anyway, do you reckon the loom on a 95 car has the wiring for this system? Or has anyone retrofitted it successfully?? Amazed that I am still learning new things about 850s after all these years haha!!

If you'd just give in and get an S/V70 you'd have that switch on the door!
The interiors aren't that bad

LOL mate
I think the T-5R is the end of the road for me unfortunately Newer Volvos just don't do anything for me. Apart from the new S60 but I could not afford one of those for another 15 years -_-

Where have you seen the central locking switch? Overseas market? I wasn't aware it was an option on the 850. Can you post a picture?
