Freshen up you XC 90 Radio

[Tiny Tim 077]

From 2003 to 2006 an XC 90 radio has black knobs (in South Africa that is) and I have found a simple way to freshen up my 2004 XC 90 radio if you can get the parts. You will see in the before and after pictures below that it really just make a nice difference to the interior. The main thing you will need a radio/climate control unit from a S40-2005 onwards. Now this may sound hard but the majority of the S40's at breaker yards that have been in a front end smash, this panel is damaged and depending on the breaker yard they will probably give this to you (as they cannot sell it) or sell it to you at a ridiculous price. All you need are the knobs from the panel and the rest is rather easy.

If you will like the full instructions on how to replace your radio knobs with the S40 silver ones let me know and I will gladly send you a detailed document.

I hope this helps
