6:07 MOST = Media Oriented Systems Transport. This is a fiber optic standard used by Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and other cars. The previous generation fiber optic protocol was called “D2B”, back in the 1990s. “Remove MOST Security” means it will allow you to modify the MOST system, which is normally “SECURED” against tampering or modifications. Both D2B and MOST are set up as serial loops in the car - each device with fiber optics has 1 input and 1 output, in a loop. D2B was invented due to increasing levels of electronic noise in motor vehicles, also in consideration of future weight savings, rather than than using lots of heavy copper wiring. Weight savings and being able to handle increasing complexity were also the driving forces behind CAN bus systems.

You are welcome!

[@RideOnBudget]

Thanks for posting this series of videos, I've enjoyed watching them! Seeing these motivated me to put together a step by step video on my channel showing how to go the other route and install an aftermarket amp and sub in a P3 Volvo. I really appreciate all you do with your channel for the Volvo and DIY community, you've put out a lot of top notch content!

[@atomikrobot300099]

If you don’t have an active satellite radio subscription I recommend you disconnect the power to the satellite radio and buy a MOST loop to bypass it. There’s a bug in the XM module firmware that they wake up and enter a high current state over and over draining the battery. I did the bypass to both the P3s in my family. Volvo wants 1hr labour and the firmware upgrade costs $$. A MOST loop bypass cable from Volvo only costs 15$ CAD. Loved watching the series into the Subwoofer! The take apart video was great to see too.

[@EarlLeeBird]

The optical cable he got to add the sub amp basically is a MOST loop. If he wants to leave the Sirius module out of the MOST circuit he could just remove the cable he added and connect the plug for Sirius module to the sub amp instead. Not sure how the CEM diagnostics reacts to this though, since there is a missing module that it will be probably looking for...

[@atomikrobot300099]

@@EarlLeeBird Yes, you are totally right to just remove that cable he added. The diagnostic tab in VIDA will report that the RDAR (XM) module is missing (no errors in the DIM or radio screen though). The options for XM 1 and XM 2 will still appear in the radio list, but selecting them does nothing. It's common for Volvo do bypass the RDAR with no repercussions.

[@EarlLeeBird]

@@atomikrobot300099 Good to know. I wish I knew this when I changed my amplifier - would have been wise to add the sub option at the same time and then just connect it later. Back then it was possible to change CEM configuration in Vdash with just small level account.

I once installed a subwoofer in my 2004 V70R: it was just plug and play. Later, in my 2007 XC90 it was much more difficult, also with an optical cable to install. However it never worked properly.

[@zaphodbeeblebrox4884]

The manufacturer of the subwoofer is Alpine. I also tried whether it was possible to connect the subwoofer in a facelift Volvo XC70 (2012-2016) in this way. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible there because Volvo has switched to a passive subwoofer and the active subwoofer does not emit any sound. Too bad.

[@willy5099]

Yuri, I had the V8 at the meet this fall. I was wondering if you would want to do a video of changing the 4C with me. My 4C struts are toast and I’m going to be changing them in the spring anyway so it may be a good video to make together with Trav as well I’m sure.

[@volvosweden]

Hey! For sure. Let’s plan.

[@rogerbailey7301]

The power supply could of come from the rear fuse boxes.

[@AngryGermanGarage]

Thankyou very much for this. As always, your videos have been very informative and given me the confidence to do the same. I'm ordering a subwoofer now to do the same job. I also plan on (hopefully) doing the same install without running wiring into the cabin. I have the factory GPS navigation system in my car that no longer works, but it does have MOST optical to the rear of the boot. I will redirect this for the amplifier. I also plan on running the subwoofer wiring to a spare fuse location in the rear of the boot.

[@nanospace2389]

the standard sound in volvos make it seem like there is a subwoofer but there isnt and can still have enough power to shake your body

[@alexsa122]

Hi ! I did the same as you, but installing the entire Premium audio (Dynaudio) to my Volvo C70 Mk2. My problem was that the vin-chasis number was incompatible with the premium and subwoofer amp (CEM list) because I had the standard version of the car, so I had to buy a car amplifier with integrated DSP (which is better than I expected, because of the low power consumption, high and quality sounding, and lot of power). You was so lucky to make it work with the original amplifier, congrats. (you can also check my video upgrade tutorial from standard to premium sound in my channel :D)

@@craigbrett672 The problem would be software, the V60 never had the subwoofer, so unless P3Tool can add it (big risk of breaking something there), you can't add it in software.

[@EarlLeeBird]

Good video. As a next step you should do the Premium Sound amplifier upgrade. It is super easy to do if you find the correct amplifer and already have the Small level VDash and Dice cable. It adds so much more in general compared to the High performance system, even with High Performance bass speakers and upgraded tweeters. For center speaker you can just add a small tweeter somewhere or set it as stereo instead of surround. Edit: I noticed you needed VDash Pro licence to access the advanced configuration options. Did the d5t5 team give us another middle finger and change the required level to do these changes? Last I did this the already payed Small license was enough...

[@Johan-hv7hb]

Do you mean upgrade to dynaudio speakers? Have you done the upgrade?

[@EarlLeeBird]

@@Johan-hv7hb You can upgrade only the amplifier. High Performance speakers are not that bad (except front tweeters that he has already upgraded to Hertz tweeters in one earlier video). I have added Dynaudio center speaker, mid range speakers in front doors and tweeters in rear doors + Hertz tweeters in front door - they add to the better sound but what adds the most is upgrading to the 5x130W Premium sound amplifier - it just has so much better sound clarity, even with FM radio that used to sound really bad - Im not sure why, maybe Volvo has the fm module integrated in the amplifer. At first I upgraded front Tweeters and then the amplifier. Later added some Dynaudio speakers.

[@Johan-hv7hb]

@@EarlLeeBird I have the possibility to buy a complete dynaudio set, all the speakers, cables and amplifier, the works. I have high performance in my car already but an upgrade could be good. I am wondering about existing cabling in the car, what I can use or need to update to get dynaudio working. I also have navigation in the car from factory and I am wondering about the cable for the center speaker. I am guessing the existing cables in the door in the car to the door will be enough and the in the door updated so it can go from 2- way to 3-way. I have been searching the net for information about anyone that has done the upgrade buy it seems that it has not been done much.

[@EarlLeeBird]

@@Johan-hv7hb If you have High Performance and navigation then most of the wiring is there, only wiring you need is for front door mid range speakers - these will be connected parallel to bass speaker wiring so basically you can just cut them off donor car as long as possible and solder on - Volvo connects them same way in factory, they are same color wires and same connector as front tweeter cable. Center speaker cable is already there under the grille, connected to an empty connector. If you get the center speaker from same car, with navigation, you just replace the whole panel that has speaker. If you get it from car without navigation or from XC60 you can still use the speaker, but you need to carefully cut it off from the different panel and glue to your panel - same with speaker wires and connector pins - desolder wires from pins, pull pins out and insert to your panel's empty connector, then solder speaker wires again. For front door mid range speakers you need the screws and metal nuts/clips from donor door card as well, other speakers mount the same as your old ones. Amplifier is plug and play but needs coding to Premium Sound in Vdash or some alternative - very similar procedure as subwoofer coding in this video. If you write what car and what year is yours and the donor, I can maybe give some more helpful tips.

[@Johan-hv7hb]

@@EarlLeeBird I will probably need wiring for back door with with clips for the tweeters also from the donor car. My car is 2008 by model and taken in use 2009 this also goes for the donor car. Both are v70 if that has some difference. Is this possible to encode in vida?

[@Luke00722]

Does anyone know if you can add a Volvo sub like this to any car with this type of head unit, say C30, S40, V50, etc...? And has anyone successfully installed one into a Volvo that did not has this option from the factory?

[@RideOnBudget]

I have a 2007 S80, with the type of head unit in this video. It did not come from the factory with a sub, so I ended up installing an aftermarket one, which has been a great addition. If you're considering that option, I recently published a video on my channel going over how to successfully wire everything and get that done.

[@voltagemichal]

Please help, do I need to buy Vdash pro to do this or lite version is enough with some in app purchases? I bought subwoofer, connections, cables but the only problem is the software. 400 Euro is a lot. At Volvo dealer removing the MOST security costs 100 Euro but they can’t upload software because they say that it doesn’t exist and I can’t make it. Hardware costed me around 250 Euro so paying extra 400 Euro just to turn it on is a lot! Best regards from Poland

[@volvosweden]

VDASH Pro is a must. But other option is to find some one with locally with VDASH Pro. I know some garages use the Pro version. I don’t believe Volvo does not have the software. Try another dealer.

Do you also have the Dynaudio/Premium amplifier? I see that you already have them software. But If not, I can only recommend installing it too even if you have just the high performance version and respective speakers without the center speaker. It makes a lot of difference and made my audio much better in my S80 V8 that came with high performance system as well. Luckily, my car came with the RTI so it's pre-wired for the center speaker. However, I'm wondering if I can get a subwoofer in my S80 :)

[@LaimisMatas]

Yes, it indeed does make a difference, but how did your amp hold up to this day, with HP speakers? HP woofers in the doors are 2 ohms, while Dyns are 4, so after finding this one out I quickly bought a full Dyn set and replaced everything.
