Do not ever touch a 3.2 Run away now D5 or v8 only in the xc90

Can that be put in the pop up motorised screen in the top console part?

bigal

Oh that. Prob not for a double din.

A suggestion.. Maybe put a full size grill back in that spot and chuck a double din like I'm going to do in the stereo area. You could turn that centre grill bit into having a centre speaker or a little sub.

Any that have the motorised option with an apple play or android high res screen, or am I dreaming?

Anything can be achieved , a good computer tech can sort all that , a car stereo place I doubt very much.

The guy I bought the maps from came back to me saying he will fix the one issue I'm having with it - and if it works out, then I'll start saving my pennies for the Alphine Unit so when it goes, then I'll upgrade it :)

bumperplates

Good idea with replacing the grill and having the one unit!

I received an email from the seller and he has updated the config within the mapping software and everything works beautifully!

The mapping software is iGo Primo, and it's using the latest 2016 maps.

The eBay seller is here (http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/121012169374) and was very prompt with my queries, and support! The hardest part for me was finding a 4GB SD Card - hah.

I'll keep the Alphine option up my sleeve For when I want to get the reverse camera updated as well.

I also found a higher definition motorised unit:

I feel like I've turned this post into a dumping ground for my scattered thoughts :)

bigal

I'm enjoying it.

Ex850R

It's like that here...

I feel like I should have titled the post 'Ramblings from a mad man buying a Volvo' :)

Hmm.... Which fuel does everyone prefer using for their Volvo's?

The reason why I ask is because I can see America rates it's Premium Fuel as 91 RON, however our standard fuel is considered 91 RON, and then we go for 95 and 98 RON as the more premium fuels?

bigal

I mainly go 95. Occasionally 91 if I'm feeling stingy.

Ex850R

98 only and the V8 will prolly only take 98....
95 at worst. E10 you can check.

bumperplates

I just filled it up on a full tank of 95 RON. So I might do 98 RON next and see if I see any improvements

Use 95-98 ron. The Americans display a number from a different standard

The price difference is a few dollars a tank.

When you get to 70% , pop in and fill up with ethanol , mucho power boost.
