Due to my age and I like the car reflects its original age , no dinosaur or fossil comments reqiured 😁 , I do like my 850R's original interior.
The blue tooth cassette is a great option so I could keep it that way.
Note the red light , theres also a blue one to show its charged and functioning.
Thankfully the WAZE app is much better than Google maps as it gives much earlier warnings of what lane to be in and gives at least 3 warnings before you get to the required corner you will need to turn into.
All of which is heard clearly through the cars original systems speakers including the original Volvo rear parcel shelf speakers that I've installed , as all the wiring and plugs are there under the rear parcel shelf ready for the amp to send sound to.
The Australian delivered 850R didnt come with the factory rear parcel shelf speakers for what ever reason, guessing its the costs involved re import duties & taxes etc.
On another note the legend that is Stu Oldfield @ Voltek serviced the 850R air conditioning yday works exactly as factory delivered , I need to service the thermistors up in the roof from grab rail section of the roof lining apart from that the beast is a dream to drive.
There's an excellent video online that shows how to check and service the thermistors.
Im very lucky to have Hugh at Moss Vale Volvo and Stu at Voltek to help keep my XC60 and 850R running as good as they do considering their age 1996 & 2012.
And I also did a thing.
265 x 40 x 21" tyres ( which will still give me accurate speedo read out on these genuine 21" Polestar rims on my pride and joy T6 R Design Polestar tuned XC60.
Tyres are Pirelli P Zero 105Y
Drives so smooth , it's old but does very nicely with that 242kw.
