This is what I have:

VTL - Interesting DDD, I have an '04 XC70 and have wanted to read transmission temp etc. for a long time w/ Torque Pro on a spare Android phone, but I have never been able to find a list of custom PIDs to program into Torque. Can I extract the CAN PID's from you code? Have you tried reading any of those values w/ Torque before?

Thanks!

The code works with Volvo's raw CAN messages, in the same way like DiCE/VIDA do. I don't know how to translate Volvo CAN messages to OBD PIDs, or if it's possible at all.

That headunit looks like it fits very well. did you have to modify the trim piece? I had a really hard time getting size specs on headunits and ended up taking a chance on a name brand unit. With an off brand unit i believe you could add a OBD2 app to show these things?

No trim filing besides "window" for the small touchscreen LCD on the left. All 3 Kenwood HUs I've had were fit w/o mods.

Yes, Kenwood supports iDataLink, which can read OBD PIDs. Which is not much, compared to the native Volvo protocol, but at least something.
