2007 S60 Aftermarket radio & sensors

Post by juryman »

I have an 07 S60 with a HU-850 factory radio that just died on me. My car also has the backup sensors on the rear bumper. Looking to replace radio with after-market since I can get a better radio for the money.
Plus, it is very hard to find an HU-850 replacement that is not used and costs as much as a nice Kenwood.
One question that I cant get answered. Hopefully someone out there knows.

Will my backup sensors no longer work if I go with a after-market radio? The factory radio displays a message and beeps when I come close to an object going in reverse. Really would like to still have that feature.

Thanks

Will not work. However, you can install a rear view camera and have it displayed on your nice Kenwood when the car is backing up :)
