[@stuartdalton5997]

So what happens with the climate display, light timer, accessory display and functions.

[@SirTerabyte]

Same as factory, it overlays on top of the graphics.

Hi. I ordered similar unit from China, and found out later that the unit is not compatible with CAN bus systems and has to connevted wire by wire. So the question is that how to I get the info from original ICU to the screen of new head unit and is it even possible? Thanks in advance

[@larskrieg7640]

My touch screen doesn’t work can you explain me what I can do?

[@SirTerabyte]

Have you checked the connections on the display unit?

How did you fix sound problem Im having same issue and getting no response from Bluepower

[@robincagan462]

I think they are on holiday, they arent answering me neither and they havent sent my package yet. I guess we just have to wait until they start working again

[@StormmadeIV]

Does this work for the c30 2008?

[@allenkessner711]

Navi Auto Start Manual states to break ACC at the map interface, to do this pull the key. Contacted Bluepower and was told the same way you break ACC on the OEM unit. Can anyone shed any light as to what break ACC means?

[@SirTerabyte]

Which part of the manual does it say this?

Not the CD player itself but the display unit as shown in the video.

[@liland94]

Hi! Quick question. At 5:02 we see the back of the CD unit and on the right side we have a plug with two orange cables. Where did you connect this with the new setup? Or is it just disconnected?

[@SirTerabyte]

liland94 this just remains disconnected

[@larahau]

If i allready have the car equipped with navigation can i use the original car navigation antena? Or do i have to install the one that came in the kit?

[@SirTerabyte]

If you can find the original antenna connection, it may be compatible with the BLP. You will have to check, otherwise you have to use the one supplied with BLP.

Hello, I am setting up a 2din autoradio, I have already made all the connections except the loudspeakers because I cannot find the speakers arrival plug next to the center console. Thank you

[@SirTerabyte]

@8:31 you need to find the original Volvo ISO cable and connect to this using an adapter or splicing into the ISO connector it self.

Hello ! I ordered blp 990 for volvo v50 from 2005 . I have only one question I read on all the forums that there is a need to unsecure the optical fiber, otherwise you will not have sound or anything like that. do you know anything about that? thank you very much !

[@benfreeth2360]

Hey, I'm think of buying one of these for my C30. How long did your install take? I noticed you also had a sound issue a couple of months ago. How did you fix? Thanks

Hi Mate! In my order is missing does long cable 1:38. Do you know where can I get it?

[@SirTerabyte]

Marin Chelmenciuc you need to contact blupower

[@SirTerabyte]

Contact Blue Power. They forgot mine also.

[@chrisclark8001]

How did you do the ribbon cables? Ten new lcd only has 1 but the original has 2.

[@SirTerabyte]

It depends on your model, you will have to contact BLP. Mine had two and they originally sent the one cable which didn't fit so I had to contact them

[@marctohanean3605]

How do you find the BLP 990 GPS navigation so far? Are the maps precise? Do you have the possibility to update the maps by downloading them on a SD?Thanks in advance!

[@SirTerabyte]

Marc Tohanean you can upgrade it by always use Google maps which gives you meant traffic updates.

[@renenarvaiz8676]

Do you connect system to the factory radio control module???

[@SirTerabyte]

Correct, you should connect to the radio adaptor.

[@conorcatney2616]

Would this be the same instal if I get a modern head unit?

[@SirTerabyte]

It should be, maybe one or two things might be different.

[@conorcatney2616]

SirTerabyte cheers, I’ll look into getting one, see the back in the dash will all double din radios fit in?

[@SirTerabyte]

@@conorcatney2616 you will have to get an adapter to fit a double or a single din. Remember, if you do this, you won't be able to see the fan speed and air con as these settings are hard programmed into the volvo unit. The BLP has these integrated which makes it great.

Hello,i would also like to buy the DvD 990. I also wanted to ask if there is any module needed to see the original display on this particular dvd. Or its already built in or predefined?

[@hugeslacker]

I'm going to be installing this tomorrow and am having trouble figuring out what to do with the blue wire coming off the antenna adapter. It says to plug it into the harness a blue wire (that bundle of 8 loose wires, one is blue), but the connectors are totally different. Where did you plug it in? You said it needed power but wasn't too clear on what you did with it.

[@SirTerabyte]

There is a blue cable from one of the harnesses and also another blue cable from the antenna unit. It is these two blue cables you connect together.

[@jonathannienaber4257]

Hi I have just installed this unit into my 05 S40, I have a question on the two flat cables that go from the screen to the ICM board. The new screen from thr BLP990 has one cable and it does not fit in any of the sockets. I see in the video you had the same thing. How did you solve this?

[@SirTerabyte]

Jonathan Nienaber can you PM me a picture? It was a long time ago I installed it. Or perhaps send me a time and I will pause to see what you are talking about

[@SirTerabyte]

Jonathan Nienaber Ah yes, I remember now, it didn't fit and BLP was supposed to send an alternative which I never got. That cable displays the volume, heating etc. Still works without it.

[@jonathannienaber4257]

Did you ever install a DAB+ extention to this? I live in Norway and the politicians decided to shut down our FM net this year (yeah...) so most older car radios will die...

Impressive. All though i would like It even more with an even more streamlined theme (and the transition from VOLVO osd looks awfull). I'm watching this because I would like a DAB+ compatible system in my car since the FM is being killed over here. Is the optional DAB feature good? Thumbs up:)

Yes there is dab feature available but you have to purchase seperate
