I have an iPhone mount that holds it at finger length, so I enabled a local wireless network on the laptop and used the Apple Remote iPhone app. to control iTunes on the laptop. This worked so well I was stunned, and it was obvious that the laptop DA converters had the iPhone well beat.

Nice to have a laptop 12V adapter and 7" SVGA touchscreen but not bad for an impromptu CarPC on a zero budget!]]> Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:21:58 +0000 http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125877-in-car-wifi-kinda/ http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125876-2001-s80-and-iphone-3gs/
Is there a solution, short of replacing my Volvo radio, that will allow me to use both the ipod and phone functions through the factory radio?

Thanks,

Steve]]> Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:16:46 +0000 http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125876-2001-s80-and-iphone-3gs/ http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125808-aftermarket-speakers/
can I install aftermarket components in the front doors and run them off the stock headunit? The components are 4 ohms.

I will be disabling the stock tweeter if that means anything.]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:48:13 +0000 http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125808-aftermarket-speakers/ http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125764-want-newer-original-audio-controls-on-my-850/
first of all, would like to say hello to everyone.

I have a problem I would like to hear with the experts: I would like to install a newer steering wheel on my 1994 850 SE, any-one of those with original volvo switches on the steering wheel for controlling the cd-player AND cruiswe control..

Problem no 1: will the steering wheel actiually fit, from ex a S80, S60, XC70 etc... How can I make it fit?

Problem no 2: how to make the swithes actually work from the steering wheel? I have a Pioneer CD Player DEHP77MP

Thanks for ANY input

There's no "troubleshooting" section in the manual or on the website.

The iPod charges when the ignition is on, as it should, but the SC-816 HU shows EEEEE when switched to CHGR and does not receive data from the pod.]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:43:00 +0000 http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125721-how-to-test-usa-spec-adaptor/ http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125720-what-are-the-frequencies/ Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:29:17 +0000 http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125720-what-are-the-frequencies/ http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125690-rear-deck-subwoofer-install/ http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_21&products_id=33

Is there a speaker adapter that will let me use 6.5" woofers?

If you're looking for one, check it out (no commercial connection etc etc etc)]]> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:22:22 +0000 http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/125684-iphone-car-mount/
