harleyabbablue Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Sorry if this has been explored to death......Has anyone retrofitted the new Volvo Motorola bluetooth kits (for the S60, V70, S80 etc) to an S70? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazykn Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Isn't the Volvo kit just the Motorola IHF1000 Bluetooth Car Kit? If it is (as I suspect) then yes it should work. You just won't be able to use any Volvo factory connector, but instead tapping wires manually. If you buy the Motorola Kit, its easy to install. It just needs a battery, ground, ignition wires, which should be tapped from the radio harness (the easiest method). If you really wanted to get fancy, you can use a relay (for a ground switching) to tap pin 10 of the radio harness. This pin 10 on the SC-816 radio is known to mute the radio and display "PHONE" on the radio's LCD. Other than that, just mount the microphone up near the visor, place the speaker (tie it down securely!) in the dash (pointed down), and mount the central unit somewhere.

No relays needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
