Handsfree, Volvo Handsfree System with Bluetooth
Note! These installation instructions apply to left-hand drive vehicles. When installing in a right-hand drive vehicle, the procedure is carried out on the opposite side and/or mirrored. Where the operations differ, right-hand versions are also displayed with text and images. There may be components in the accessories kit that are not used for this installation.
Note! When installing Velcro fasteners/tape the underlying surface must be kept at a temperature of at least +20° C (68°F). Wiring A is for vehicles with an internal amplifier that is located in the media player. Wiring B and C is for vehicles with an external amplifier that is located under the right-hand front seat. Vehicles from and including model year 07- with audio system Performance Sound have an internal amplifier. Vehicles up to and including model year -06 with audio system Performance Sound have an external amplifier. Cars with the High Performance and Premium Sound audio systems have external amplifier. Place the manual for this accessory in a suitable place in the vehicle.
