Bluetooth adapter - Anyone tried this?

While on Alibaba I stumbled across this Bluetooth adapter that claims to fit many Volvo radios including P80.

Has anyone else seen this and tried it?

For US$8.07 it's almost easier to try it than post and wait for an answer

What's the Canadian cost with shipping?

Never heard about it, but Chinese comrades mastered Bluetooth technology, so don't see the reason why it would not work. My only concern would be parasitic draw in case Bluetooth is always "hot". In comparison to Gromm(or something like that that IPD was selling when I was looking around, price is night and day).

I was tempted to buy one as suggested. I can easily enough check if it runs a larger current draw on the car with it fitted. They also do a version that supposedly fits a P2 as well. I was just curious if someone had tried one first!

Sorry, Matthew. I think that is about $14-15 US now.......................(don't we all love tariffs)

Hi All!
Doesn't work for P80.

AUX can be made, you need to assemble an arduino. There is a description on the forum.

According to the description, it should work.

If it's important, cheap and cheerful.
SC9xx & SC816 remove the cassette mechanism, solder AUX - R, L, GND.

That is strange, but you are correct. The title says it fits S70 and V70 as well as XC70. However when you read further down it lists mostly P1 and P3 vehicles. Strangely it says it fits S60 2004-19 but yet is does not fit other P2 models?

Very strange indeed.
