#bluetooth #volvo #DIY
I just got into my old yt account and i saw this. I remembered watching you play league of legends literally a decade ago. How you been man
Just finished installing mine and it works perfectly. Thank you for this tutorial 🙏🏾🔥very very helpful
Excellent tutorial! ⭐ It was more difficult than you made it look 😂 I'd recommend a magnetic torx screwdriver if I did it again
Also, the Bluetooth module I bought was terrible. It doesn't play out of the right speakers properly, but does a little. Be careful where you get the module from!
friend, I installed such a device in my 2007 volvo v50, but the car radio does not read the device, nothing appears on the input display! what can I do?
@@scharlytonbeltrao This is why I installed a 3.5 mini jack Bluetooth receiver in below the arm rest it comes with a ground loop isolator to reduce any hum interference and works perfectly with my phone. Plus you get the USB connector for the back 12v slot so you have a spare USB type for any passenger to use.
just done mine C70 II all was good until put the centre console back in place , the BLISS button it is a nightmare to fit and click back in place ...but now its done and it does worth the trouble , thanks for your video , warning to C70 II owners be very careful and gentle when trying to prying out the gearbox gaiter the plastic that holds leather to centre console breaks very easily .
I have installed 3 of these in my 2009 Volvo V50. First one failed within a week 2nd & 3rd both lasted about 10 days. They performed excellent, until they failed. I thought I may have done something wrong but the process is so simple, I blame the product.
Is your car had aux ?
@@PritpalSingh-ng9tx no
Yes my car has AUX
@@PritpalSingh-ng9tx Yes it does
Do the steering wheel inputs work with this in the phone?
Bought one a few days ago, fitted it and it worked, i then put my dash back together and it completely broke my radio, volume controls went dead on my dash and steering wheel, and i couldnt select am/fm, removed the new part and it works fine again, am well gutted
The problem is that you did not plug all the way in the connectors, I faced same issue till I really use lot of force and he clicked.. from there all went back to normal.
note... this only works if you have the 3.5mm headphone jack, this is not for every 2004-2012 model. This updated version you have allows it to work. Because the Bluetooth works via AUX. I have that problem with my brothers car with this same plug.
where is the headphone jack located??
@@ldenorio in you rest you arm, in that compartment, but this only counts for the newer versions of it, if you don't have the version where you can cover your cup holders then you don't have the headphone jack.
@@ThroughJermainesLens ok thanks, i dont have that, balls.
@@ldenorio aaa shit, that is a shame! And no problem! Yeah basically you need that updated version, the C30 I think had 1 year of this older version of the interior, where the S40 that were released before 2008 had that older interior, in 2008 they started doing version 2 of it, it included new body design changes, like new tail lights and front lights as well, and of course that new interior style with the 3.5mm headphone jack
@@ThroughJermainesLens i have a 2004.5 s40, 290k, i connect my phone to an fm bluetooth setup but sometimes the radio cuts out, just static, so i was looking for an alternative than the cd player
My module finally arrived, going to put it in now and film it
Update: Filmed it. Its on my channel
Nice video, thanks. I recommend to change the Bluetooth device name in your phone to something like VOLVO C30 etc.
There have been a lot of people asking this without being answered so I'll just write this here now. This does NOT work for cars that do not have the higher factory spec that includes cruise control and AUX. If you have the base model that does not have these you can't install this, as there will be no AUX / Bluetooth fuction in the connector this product uses. I don't know of a way to get around this so get a different car or radio. Hope this helps.
So if I have AUX but not Bluetooth, will this work? Thank you for the help
@@domnewton7822 yes, you can slap the bluetooth reciever onto the aux cord.
@@thatfinnishguy6575 legend ta
How can I know if my c30 has AUX? It has cruise control. Is it enough to certainly know that it has AUX too? Thanks.
@@pedrolcastro Depends on the year. It's pretty likely that it has aux if it has the cc, since you get them both on the higher trim level. They're not options like leather seats or improved audio are.
Can you change song on the steering wheel
Can you please link or name the Bluetooth audio receiver you are using?
what if i don’t have a mode option in my 2004 volvo s40
This is item will not work if you do not have the mode button.
the 2005 volvo t5 does not have a mode option, where would the aux be on the menue?
Yes there is no mode option I see no one answered this question so I’m assuming 2005 s40 t5 is not compatible !!! I have same issue
Got the same issue
@@davidemond2 That is because he did not mention that it is only compatible with s40 2007 and up not 2004 and up. For this to work your console must have the mode option and that only comes in the 2007 and up, another word this is useless! even if you have a 2007 and the aux option, you should be able to simply plug into your cigarette lighter, this item is a rip off but to be fair it does say in manual for this item that it will not work in any volvos that does not have the aux option lol and think about it, if you have it, why spend money on this and the time it takes? please do your researches sir before posting misleading stuff. I made a mistake buying it, I did not do my research after this post! can't blame you for costing me $20 lol
Hi any clue if it would work on a 2008 Volvo S80 ? And yes it has aux option thank you
Great video, but does this work on a radio with only a Fm and Cd player? I have a S40 2004
No, you need AUX version on your Volvo. Bluetooth adapter collects signal from your phone and transfer it to stereo by AUX cable. Of you don’t have one it won’t work.
@@eska9723 Awww man! Yeah mine doesn't even have AUX, so I guess this won't work for me...
Os it possible to connect the sound output from the BT connector somewhere?
Question I bought a 2005 Volvo S40 off a friend. The radio screen is obscured due to her accidentally ramming a 2x4 into it. I am replacing the radio portion with an OEM used radio. Should I wait to buy this to see if my model and year has the AUX capability or can someone tell me if it does? Thank you.
Hello, the link for Bluetooth is not working. Do you have another link or name/description for the product?
I just did the same but my car does not have aux so it did not work for me. where it says mode for u it says only cd.
Maybe its a US/EU thing but my V50 doesn't have a 'mode' button - it has on the left AM/FM and on the right 'CD' button.
Good vid, but I think you forgot to add the little text bubbles that you do. The "pop" sfx is there, but no messages.
Adobe went rogue on me, rip.
Is there something similar for V50 without AUX?
same here... i only have CD's.... Please help someone
Does it work without the aux switch? Some cars only got cd Input
My car stereo only came with Bluetooth, it does not have an auxiliary input. Any options or recommendations?
Superb video! Can you make a video for a Volvo V70 from 2008? THX!!
I just purchased a c70 here in the uk and my phone connects and plays music no problem without upgrading.
Hi! I saw your Volvo C30 Bluetooth video and I’ve done the same in my car, I was just wondering if you noticed if your bluetooth was always on even when the car was locked? Mine is and I’m worried about a flat battery! Thank you!
Hey man thank you for this! And this doesnt bugger with the current phone calling capabilities?
Can you control the music through the steering wheel controls like skipping tracks? Thanks, great video. Mike
I just did this install this afternoon. Just like having the aux cable plugged in, skipping tracks on the steering wheel does not work, but volume control does
I just did this two days ago and has worked great and then today I could not connect to it at all and soon after it just disappeared in my available Bluetooth all together , cheap Chinese stuff hopefully it comes back to life once I put the car to sleep for the night
@@grahamwolfe4968 Mine will periodically not connect but turning the car off and on always resolves it. If you're not seeing it in your bluetooth options, you may not have plugged it in securely. I would check the wiring and make sure its plugged in securely and is receiving power.
Hi! I got one question. I can see that in the stereo you have two options after you conected the new plug (CD AND AUX). In my stereo i don´t have that option (AUX). My question is: That´s options appears after you conected the device? Or you already had it?
It will not work, I repeat NOT work if your Volvo only has the am/fm and CD option. If it doesn't have the aux option it will not appear after you install the device.
Hey bro, mine doesnt turn off once installed. Even when the car if off. Does yours turn off w the car?
Hi, good video, thanks. Is their any possibility that you have a video or a link for an android head unit for s40? I don't have the navigation piece on the top of my dashboard, so I'm after something that I can replace the unit in the waterfall. Thank you
I installed mine yesterday and found a small problem, it has a static noise coming from it all the time, when I play music or not, but the static noise is there.. idk if thats the product fault of mine, but for now I’m going to live with it until maybe I buy another one
Hi mate great video dose it works for Volvo v50
It works if your stereo has the AUX option
What is the material of the centre console?
It looks way better than the aluminium of my V50.
Plastic
Any word on whether it works with all bluetooth on all phones? We picked on up that worked through the FM receiver, but it did not work with iPhones (although the box said it did). We think it was a version issue (pre 11 iPhone). Any notes about this for this device?
Thanks for the vid. Going to try this out.
Actually what's the name of the plug that u just set on ur radio? Incase if I hve to go n look for it in a shop..
I've read that there is a constant power to the module, even when the car is off. Is that true?
How can it store your phone if it didn't have it...? Why would you ask about the constant wire... curious
@@ny2bama Nah, I've been translating some comments on some other video from Portuguese, so I probably misunderstood that one...forgive me :)
Yes it's true... Constant power on the BT module but it won't drain you battery as it uses very little power
More simple thanks i thought
This will only work with those units that have the aux port in the glove box. Will also display the mode button on the console.
The ones that came with cd-am\fm units.. no luck !
FM transmitter will work
@@orfeous i have tested many FM transmitters. The sound quality is bad. Hissing, buzzing .. static.
i just order one and i gonna put that tomarrow
Well, 2004 V50 here with a optical connection...so The big connector you have on yours, isn`t present on the one I tried to install it in. Sigh..
What if my centre console doesn't have 'mode' option...it only says 'CD'
Hi, i installed the device but my volvo is a 2007 without plug in, do you know if i buy a radio from a 2008 it will work?
Mine has a button ‘cd’ instead of ‘mode’. Would it still work with mine?
tutorial is great. however, i cant acess the AUX MODE, on my radio :/ it dosent show up :/
not all volvo cd players have the Aux option. Mine doesn’t have it
does it work at the same time as the phone handsfree?
Is there no clanking sound afterwards because of the bluetooth adapter hanging so loose?
Lots of loose wires back there, if it becomes an issue, just take the stuff off again and tape it to something
Did you have aux before or did it appear after connecting the bluetooth adapter?
Walmart has cheap bt transmitters you plug into aux, they don’t mess with the quality but die fast. I keep mine plugged in. Same features as in video
Does anyone know what inputs are on the back of the head-unit trying to install some subs
Does this work with the radio wich doesnt have AUX? only CD?
@@mkmkl66 I don't this so.
I have mounted this module but the difference of the sound radio FM and sound of AUX from this module is very big, it sounds much slower, **half on the radio is at maximum on the aux**.
Go to car settings then go to audio and select aux settings. You will see that for some reason the max aux volume will be preset at 50% turn it all the way up! Problem solved!
@@blackdynamite9940 thank you man!
J'ai un V50 aussi, BT avec le téléphone mes pas la musique, donc pas l'option jacks, je peut l'installer et sa va marcher?
Great video!
My english is not really good because i'm french, so it is difficult to me to speak it, i'm sorry about that. Bust is it possible to install a device like that one you present without de "mode" button? I just have the "CD" button, that means I don't have that factory option...
Thanks for the answear!
use a FM transmitter, thats the only option that will work.
Hi friend saw your video and ordered the adapter but after i connected dutifully your instructions i could not connect to aux function as my waterfall control panel just had the CD button instead of the MODE button...so i was stuck any idea how i could get it working......your help will be greatly appreciated....I am from Malaysia and trying to fit the bluetooth adapter to my 2006 Volvo V50 T5....thank you and do continue to stay safe,healthy and happy
Your unit has to have the AUX input for it to work.
thanks for the prompt reply....looks like I have to change the head unit ....take care
Hi !
I want to do the same on my « new » V50, with AUX mode available. Can anyone that did it already tell me if the sound quality is equivalent to CD / radio listening, or as poor as the AUX listening ?
The sound quality is the actual stereo … So if you have the phone or bluetooth device full volume and raise your car volume, its awesome, no static nothing, its worth the struggle … 👍
Hi, I did this and my car was perfect, but when I put it all again the radio and the speedometer and fuel gauge doesn’t light up or work
Check your fuses
Did you fix it?
Very useful thank you!😀
Does it also fit in the 2005?
Do you need the phone feature for this to work ?
Hi...thanks for your video...In my case, my C30 does not have any bt interface. Do you think I can use the device you show for calls and music?
Did you ever do this? Mine doesn't have bt at all but I want it
Is it possible to change songs with the multifunction steering wheel after connecting the device?
Do you know by now? Id love to know hahah
@@Nico-ch9ul no you can’t change songs from the steering wheel, only from your device (phone)
It's the same thing as the 3.5mm bluetooth plug-ins - it just outputs audio to your car's aux input. that's it.
Very helpful, saved me a lot of time 🤗
Mine doesn't have a "mode" button. Instead there's a CD button. It doesn't have aux. Will it work?
It will not work then.
Does this work for a 2008 s40 ?
Sorry what's this device called?
just installed mine, pairs fine but no sound at all
Thank you 🙏
The Amazon reviews are not exactly reassuring. Many people saying it fails after a few days.
True. Buy one and let us know
Worked perfect for 3 days...
Then volume went very low to barely audible and then died
Ita not working on my volvo v50 2006 NO sound i CAN NOT I cannot select AUX mode.
Where can I buy it? Amazon
How does one add something like this that does not have AUX?
Hi I have a Volvo C70 2007 and I do not have the MODE button. on my radio that says CD. You know what I do.
Not sure if the mode button matter but if you don't have an aux on your radio or car it won't work.
Anyone a link to the product?
Damn I was really excited about this, but the Amazon reviews are pretty awful. Very disappointing!
I don’t have an aux function on my v50 can this still be put in?
Nope
If my car doesn't have phone connectivity can I still install this?
As long as you have the AUX feature it should work.
What about the microphone? Does the Bluetooth receiver have a microphone for the calls? I'm actually using a receiver plugged into the aux in which has a microphone to allow me to talk to the phone while I'm driving without using the microphone of my phone
The unit installed in the video is a receiver only. I installed a similar one in my C30
I believe incoming and outgoing calls are routed through the car’s stock Bluetooth module. The microphone is situated in front of the driver’s visor. This product is only to allow one to have Bluetooth audio in addition to the stock Bluetooth phone capabilities.
Link not working on ebay 😢 help
just bought this it worked for 1 motnh and stopped. i think the bluetooth adapter is bad.
Just found this video and the amazon link for the Bluetooth adapter is gone. Can you link it again, or add it in the description please?
Check now, should be updated!
@@TheAngryHoneyBadger can't find the Amazon link for the product. Please help
@@benoymichael amzn.to/3WqhPcB
I got a volvo s70 1998 with the stock radio, it don't got aux or nun. Will it work?
Nope
Fuck no with that old ass radio. 😂😂😂 dude buy a new radio... car!
Hello, nice although pretty much unclear in regard towards unmounting the dash waterfall and arm rest. Obviously you take it for granted that everybody does work into a Volvo Service point but unfortunately that isn't the case, at least not for me. In your video we see you take of the armrest but you didn't showed how to dismounth, could you please be a little more complete on that kind of issues. Furthermore it would be a nice if you could specify where to buy th Bluetooth insert from, is that possible? Kind regards, Sorry am not much of a car techniccian eventhough electronics was my professional business (no retired). All together, thank you very much.
It's fairly simple of removing the cigarette lighters plastic and rubber. Then remove two screws beneath that. Continue to remove the stereo as he shows. Next, remove four screws behind the radio and then you can simply unclip the box panel behind the waterfall dash and then just click the plastic waterfall dash off.
The link is not working anymore what was the adapter called?
amzn.to/3RBkEp5
Does this werk on a radio With only the cd mode. I can not exes aux. I got the Volvo V50 2005 2.0D with the 1CD17A
You'll need to have AUX on your unit for it to work from what i've heard.
No it doesn’t work if you don’t have aux. there is a Bluetooth board available on Tindie.com which works on all models by adding a BT board inside the CD player.
@@Zonereaver Hi Sebastian. Would you have a link to the Exact part on Tindie's website? Thanks.
@@TheMrpcperfect comments keep getting removed for some reason, seller is called JustTech
I click in the link of bluetoooth adapter and I see a dog in the Amazon page, can you tell me the name of that gadget ? and where can I buy it in Europe? thanks ,
Check now, should be updated!
@@TheAngryHoneyBadger It doesn't unfortunately.....................
Was there a part number for this, the link isn’t working
Check now, should be updated!
why is there random music throught the actual tutorial.
What if my radio don't have a mode button?
Pretty sure it is not compatible then.
You're screwed
Only works if you have an aux input active 🤦♀🤦♂
Link not working.
Now I know. If your c30 don't have aux. This will not work
Check now, should be updated!
@@TheAngryHoneyBadger this is aux adapter
My rsdio dont have aux
@@TheAngryHoneyBadger Link not working anymore.................
Sorry. I cannot take of the console.
Where is aux
2004-2006 doesn't work because there is no jack.
Cut the music out dude
works like a mofo, even i did it and thats a lot
If you have the C70, you will need to remove the rear cup holders first and slide the center console back to access the lower waterfall screws as seen in this video:
ruclips.net/video/dU5pJsbKuqY/видео.htmlsi=eACvWEnXwdMJD6DI
Can i still plug in an aux cable if for example i cant use bluetooth?
does this work on everyu volvo c30?
As long as you have Aux mode it should work.
