INTRODUCTION

  • Read through all of the instructions before starting installation.

  • Notifications and warning texts are for your safety and to minimise the risk of something breaking during installation.

  • Ensure that all tools stated in the instructions are available before starting installation.

  • Certain steps in the instructions are only presented in the form of images. Explanatory text is also given for more complicated steps.

  • In the event of any problems with the instructions or the accessory, contact your local Volvo dealer.

  

Note!

Cars without the accessories RTI, Sirius satellite radio or TV do not have the long Melbus cable, P/N 30664142, between the radio and the rear of the car. This is ordered separately.

If RTI is installed, then order Melbus cable, P/N 8633596.

If Sirius satellite radio or TV is installed, then order Melbus cable, P/N 8673298.

On some cars, the long Melbus cable may be pre-routed even though none of the aforementioned accessories are installed, sat. prep code 682. The cable end of such is then found near the rear fuse holder. To check whether the Melbus cable is installed, remove the left-hand side panel in the cargo compartment as described in step 31.
