Re: New England Winter for a Desert Volvo?

1. Get some winter wiper blades. These have a sort of rubber boot covering all the parts that connect the blade proper to the wiper arm. It makes for a cleaner, neater setup. They're also designed for the colder temps, to remain flexible. 2. Add a survival kit to your trunk. Sleeping bag, hat, scarf...

Re: New England Winter for a Desert Volvo?

Dave in Maine is correct. I had all but forgot about snowshuvels and ice scrapers!

OP wants to retain CD changer as well.

The Grom uses that din port on the head unit, so changer is left unusable.

My “box” accepts the Grom/Yatour din plug AND the changer din plug so you can use both, you select which one has priority.
