Fascia Adaptor

This adaptor will convert the non din-sized aperture left after removing the factory stereo to a din size ready for head unit installation. The high quality finish, colour and texture are designed specifically to maintain the original look of your vehicles interior.

The fascia adaptor allows the fitting of an aftermarket radio into the dashboard by matching the shape, style and colour of the original radio.

This fascia come with its own mounting brackets and radio housing, no additional cage is needed. The fascia gives a flush mount finish. Use the supplied pocket if installing a single din radio.

Steering Control Adaptor

A stalk/steering wheel control adaptor enables you to utilise the original factory remote audio (whether built onto steering wheel or fitted on a stalk next to the steering wheel) with an aftermarket unit. 

A Volvo to ISO radio adapter cable with built in steering wheel control interface is also supplied in the kit. The cable adapts from the green and grey Volvo connectors in the car to standard aftermarket ISO connectors. A phono to 6 pin DIN adapter is also included to provide audio to the original amplifier in the car. This replaces the need for a separate ISO radio replacement adapter cable. The CANbus steering wheel control interface is built in to the adapter cable. This interface will allow the original audio control buttons on the steering wheel to work with the new aftermarket radio. The interface will work the volume, track skip and phone buttons.
The CANbus interface will also provide ignition, illumination, reverse gear, handbrake and speed pulse output signals to the new stereo.
This interface is supplied with a universal patch lead. The patch lead links the steering control interface to the steering wheel control input on the back of the new stereo.

An additional PDC retention interface (25-514-VOLVO) is required for cars that have original parking sensors.
This interface comes with a universal patch lead which can be used with Alpine, Blaupunkt, Clarion, Pioneer, JVC, Kenwood, Sony or Zenec Head-units.

Aerial Adaptor

An Aerial Adaptor is needed when replacing the original factory fitted head unit with an aftermarket head unit. 

This cable adapts from the original grey Volvo antenna connector in the car to a standard aftermarket DIN antenna connector, this is used when fitting an aftermarket stereo upgrade.
