How to install Bluetooth audio receiver in Volvo 2004-2012 models for only $20!

[@jidi1997]

I just got into my old yt account and i saw this. I remembered watching you play league of legends literally a decade ago. How you been man

[@spencerknutsen464]

thank god for this, looking for a volvo c30 right now to replace my 2009 ford focus, seemed there was no solution for a lack of bluetooth audio, come to find most people are talking specificially about android auto and apple carplay. being able to use bluetooth audio alone is enough for me, as thats what I have in my 2009 ford and I never find myself thinking i need a navigation screen.

[@danger9inemusic618]

Just finished installing mine and it works perfectly. Thank you for this tutorial 🙏🏾🔥very very helpful

[@luisvalentim99]

just done mine C70 II all was good until put the centre console back in place , the BLISS button it is a nightmare to fit and click back in place ...but now its done and it does worth the trouble , thanks for your video , warning to C70 II owners be very careful and gentle when trying to prying out the gearbox gaiter the plastic that holds leather to centre console breaks very easily .

Do the steering wheel inputs work with this in the phone?

[@marius6260]

Sadly, they don't

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

note... this only works if you have the 3.5mm headphone jack, this is not for every 2004-2012 model. This updated version you have allows it to work. Because the Bluetooth works via AUX. I have that problem with my brothers car with this same plug.

[@ldenorio]

where is the headphone jack located??

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

@@ldenorio in you rest you arm, in that compartment, but this only counts for the newer versions of it, if you don't have the version where you can cover your cup holders then you don't have the headphone jack.

[@ldenorio]

@@ThroughJermainesLens ok thanks, i dont have that, balls.

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

@@ldenorio aaa shit, that is a shame! And no problem! Yeah basically you need that updated version, the C30 I think had 1 year of this older version of the interior, where the S40 that were released before 2008 had that older interior, in 2008 they started doing version 2 of it, it included new body design changes, like new tail lights and front lights as well, and of course that new interior style with the 3.5mm headphone jack

I have installed 3 of these in my 2009 Volvo V50. First one failed within a week 2nd & 3rd both lasted about 10 days. They performed excellent, until they failed. I thought I may have done something wrong but the process is so simple, I blame the product.

Hi! I saw your Volvo C30 Bluetooth video and I’ve done the same in my car, I was just wondering if you noticed if your bluetooth was always on even when the car was locked? Mine is and I’m worried about a flat battery! Thank you!

[@bodybloomwithluludelphine6317]

Can you please link or name the Bluetooth audio receiver you are using?

[@thatfinnishguy6575]

There have been a lot of people asking this without being answered so I'll just write this here now. This does NOT work for cars that do not have the higher factory spec that includes cruise control and AUX. If you have the base model that does not have these you can't install this, as there will be no AUX / Bluetooth fuction in the connector this product uses. I don't know of a way to get around this so get a different car or radio. Hope this helps.

It's fairly simple of removing the cigarette lighters plastic and rubber. Then remove two screws beneath that. Continue to remove the stereo as he shows.
