Re: XC 90 iPhone/iPod Adapter

I use a Dice Electronics Silverline unit in my e46 BMW with no issues and used a iMIV LE in my V70 before it was smashed. The very proprietary audio system used by Volvo on the XC90 is probably my biggest complaint.

(Anyone want to buy an iMIV LE kit for the V70 with no nav? I pulled it from the ...

Re: XC 90 iPhone/iPod Adapter

Retrofit auto dim rearview mirror?
