TFT Retrofit Installation. Step by Step on P3 Volvo. Do it!

[@BertHoltappels]

Thanks for all you do. I prefer reading instructions over watching videos. But you are a massive exception!

[@volvosweden]

Thx so much Bert. My Starbucks coffee tomorrow guaranteed :)

[@maxmimum]

Greetings from Bahrain. I have 2013 xc70 and I like your channel so much. I appreciate your commitment and dedication to capture DIY upgrades you have to your sweet Volvo. I had tailgate module, Trunk new module and in middle of the interior LED light installation. Thumbs up and have a great weekend.

[@ahmedbaluchi199]

I have volvo s80 t5 2012 and wanted to install 2014 dashboard display what shall i do? Shall i just put it there or need to update the software and add more wires or what ?

[@eliashadjari4224]

Did it few weeks ago on my S80 2.4D 2010. Decoding the CEM took 18hrs and for some reason it did not work out at the first time so I had to do it again. Price in Vdash at the time was 199€. Very good and extremely helpful video, thank you for making it!

[@magnushansson3570]

Nice video👍🏼 Greetins from Volvoland Sweden

[@kmorton54]

I I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. Having just purchased a 2011 S80, I will be using your videos for service, cleaning and upgrading. Thank you

[@Yenko1992]

I am considering getting a 2013 t6 and I definitely would want to do this modification it looks so good

[@alessandroscialanca9241]

I’m wondering to see you change the suspensions on a Four-C D5. Thanks for your sharing works. It’s a real good job

[@Volvoxc70SWE]

So nice to finally see a video from you! Great that you show everything here👍

[@mikeMBW]

Will have to add this one to the "to do" list. Thanks mate.

[@MrLeeboy88]

Amazing guide, easy to follow. The best tip were the nosepicker, to put the pin into the connector. 😊

[@trungle9923]

Did this to my 2012 S60-R with a 2016 S60 TFT. I just added 2 wire, i didn't need vidaduce or VDASH. Everything is working except for the power level gauge.

[@jokullmtl]

really? no need for VDASH?

[@jimftr]

When you say "twisted wire pair, do you mean, soldering a long piece of wire to the red volvo terminal cables, and then twisting the wires coming off that down to the OBD wires? Just a bit confused there.

[@csebastian71]

Vdash seems to be the only way to add heated seats to my 2009 XC90 V8 RD.

[@Snoopmasta]

Love the idea of the upgrade and would consider it if it were perfect afterwards. Sadly the compromises are to much for me. For the money to invest into this I'd like it to be fully functional.

[@remyslosberg7313]

Are you supposed to connect the negative clamp to the negative terminal? I've seen elsewhere that you're supposed to connect it to unpainted metal away from the positive terminal to make sure you don't cause a fire from the fumes or something. He shows it connected to the negative terminal so I'm just confused on which way is the proper way.

[@GerardB2023]

Hi there, did you ever find out?

[@EduardoArsaniSantos]

Thanks from BRAZIL 🇧🇷!

[@samjackson7701]

Did on mine, now I have DIM error no DIM detected... but the replacement works. It looks amazing but I do not know if I will keep it because I cannot reset the clock or maintenance so it tells me every time I start the car that maintenance is overdue... when it is not. 2011 S80.

[@edwardharvey418]

Hi. I have seen a couple of other videos where people have just plugged in the new cluster and not changed the software and some things don’t work. Does absolutely everything work in this for you, including the eco gauge on eco mode? Do you have a video showing every function working? Thank you.

[@jchaparro97]

Very Good video. I follow all the instructions and it is working but the only think is that the speedometer is in miles (like it supposed to be because I am in US) but the odometer shows in kilometers. And I ask the people from d5t5 to help me fix that, but I guess they are too busy. You probably know. Or you may tell me how can I reverse so I can put the old cluster back. I did try to go back and install the old cluster but it didn’t give me the option. Thank you. I hope you can help me. All your videos are really helpful.

[@twiggy9000]

Nice video. The 2 wires from OBD to the display. Are they needed? Or what do they actually do? Installed the TFT display without the 2 wires and it seems to work just fine. Fuel gauge is not correct, but I haven't gone for a test drive yet.

[@wieslawstachelek]

hello, when you installed new cluster, have you used the same OBD device or have you used different one or (if you know) can I use wireless OBD?

[@gettyjim588]

Hi : Thanks for all your videos 🙂 Doesn't matter here what is motor code or gearbox code ? Also I have navigation screen in my volvo but without touch screen or car play... can I upgrade to touch screen ? My from 2012 D5 THANKS 🙂

[@2304markymark]

Very Nice and usefull video!! Thank you!! What was the price of the software you had to buy for the TFT ?.

[@metsa12]

Yes, Im curious as well, how much ? €€

[@SergeiiCZ]

is that twisted wire really important to work? did you try to use normal wire too? thank you

[@bv8612]

Thanks for the interesting video. I have a 2007 Volvo S80 and would like to install the newer analog display. Can I just swap that in or do I need the software for that as well?

[@pe9042]

Would love to do this on my V70 T6 AWD 2010 but I would never dare 😅 Excellent video 👌🏻👌🏻

[@Alexander_l322]

I am seriously toying with the idea to do this to my P3 V70 but I need to get Vida and dice along with the TFT so it’s not cheap to do this and then I have to fit it and hope I can make it work properly.

[@nf9584]

I have xc60, 2009. Do you know does it work on my car, so i can go to shoping parts🙂, and whether it shows when the light bulb stops working and the like, i didn't understand it best, also when the door is open does it show on display. Like your videos very much, thank you.

[@misiomisio2335]

Excellent , spasiba !!

[@thomaslieven8447]

Im amazed. Awesome work. A lot of time went in figuring out how to do this I suppose

[@DrDodge24]

The CEM decode on my S80 only took 3 minutes! I guess I was one of the lucky ones, haha

[@GabrielGames100]

how do you like the new cluster?

[@kobewatkins2640]

How much was it

[@endurocrosser8834]

Hello from France. I have a volvo v70 2016 model. Thank you for your videos. Do you know how to stop (shut off) the Security belt alarm please.

[@robertepagerp]

Great video, I am currently doing the upgrade. Can I ask that you do a video installing the driving / Spot lamps you have fitted . Regards Bob

[@peyoush]

There is something else that can happen. After everything is insalled properly, the car might not start. It says immobilizer active. The only way to get the car to start is to put the old dim in, start the car and then switch the dim again while the car is started. Problem fixed. Did it on my S80 V8.

[@endurocrosser8834]

p.dutt When swapping dims,do you need to take out the two wires soldered before or they remain in the same position?

[@DakahriGT]

I got the v8 too hows the dash holding up was it worth it?

why do you need to remove the wires if you give the old counter back? I have already wired the old counter that is in use, I already have a new counter in the garage ... dice comes in 14 days .... but the car works without problems with these wires (xc70 MY12)

[@MrJustinsideher]

What where the steps like in the tft software? Is the old cluster the most time consuming part, that cracks the cem, is that before step 4? Does the dim code go away when complete? Is the new tft loaded after step 4, is it a long process, did u get a message once or twice about a volvo dealership and getting locked out due to using unsanctioned hardware?

[@91cat]

So my p3 v70 my 10. Will my powergauge work? The text says no but your car is 09 so it mite work, idk

Hi, i have XC60 -2010 year. Do you think that the tft will fit - start working on the same way as in your car. Thanks

Great video and great upgrade , but for me I’d trade my car in for newer model with this type of dash as std . However not that important to me so I’ll keep the old fashion version ! Like I say 10 out of ten for the effort and skill shown here . Another great vid by this chap

[@volvosweden]

It's definitely a personal choice. With my milage there is no reason to get rid of my XC70.

Question about Volvo dice, can I also use other alternatives or it has to be the one you've got (even it is Chinese knock off) as I have seen other devices however, I am not sure if it will be good to use?

TFT retrofit for a XC60 2011 done! 👍

[@oohjeri]

Hello, I know this is an old post but will like to know if your TFT works fine and what is/are the limitations and your odometer readings, was it affected by the dim change? How do you change/correct the time and reset service light after the retrofit?

[@victordoldor6302]

​@@oohjeriHi. It works just fine. The time can be changed by using VDash app on a windows pc (it's done automatically when you connect to your car through the ODB port), the service light can be reset in the menu or with some combination of buttons, don't remeber which. The limitations are listed in the How to article listed in this video description. (the eco meter is not showing anything and the power meter on the red theme does not indicate the real power level just something that has to do with the rpm or something like that).

[@oohjeri]

@@victordoldor6302 Thank you for your prompt response.

[@oohjeri]

Another question, where did you get your dice any pointer will be greatly appreciated or can I use the J2534 OBD connector from amazon?

[@victordoldor6302]

@oohjeri I don't really know. I got a volvo knockoff i found on the web.

For a 2013 S60, will it work by just removing the old cluster and fit the new one? Do I need to complete the whole process? Best wishes

[@SchwinnStraight8]

So i notices it says DSTC may not work...can you still turn off traction control on your car to get the tires to spin in snow? that would be the only downside for me.

I got a v70 from 2010 with programed cluster, only thing i see is the fuel and warninglights, the middle display is all black. Anything you know about and can help with?

Can you confirm after conversion the TFT digital cluster duplicates the display and control of those cars equipped with radar for active cruise control and variable distance alert?

[@BikingNL000]

What are the costs after unlocking the CEM? I know you said the price might change, but the website says nothing about this all. I am looking to do this upgrade, but don't want to do all the work and buy the unit to then discover a huge amount of money to do the upgrade

[@lcheater]

£120

[@dronepilot260rc]

You are life saver mate

[@tranceorkester]

Does anyone know what happens if you plug in the TFT speedo without doing the cable mod? Should it light up at all or be dead? Just received a TFT odo for my V70 2013 that lacks the two extra leads, plugged it in just to see so it works - however nothing appears, connecting the original old odo back still works fine. Will know for sure once I receive the terminals from Volvo later this week. Would have assumed that the TFT is powered the same way as the original odo, unless of course the two new leads provide extra power or some new voltages.

[@joshuaarcher2257]

Can you put this in a s80 2008 ?

[@JoelhdroN]

I am cracking the CEM but 3d day in a row now i get a message saying unable to contact the server and then i lose 5-7 hours worth of progress because i need to start the decoding all over again from 36% where i last manually paused it. Do you know what the problem is?

[@2Awesome4People]

Hi, does the Instrumend lighting adjustment still work with this cluster? driving at night with that bright screen could be tricky

[@don.agassini]

Electronics related question: If I change the light switch from a 2011 S60 to one with "Auto" position (from facelift models), will the "Auto" function work out of the box, without any other wiring or software? Thank you!

[@johannessoonik1007]

2011 didn't have dedicated DRL so it would do nothing even if the auto worked. I once swapped an "Auto" switch from a 2014 V60 to my 2008 XC70 to see if it activates foglights as DRL like on new XC70s, nothing happened, low beam in all three positions (0, Auto, Low beam).

[@don.agassini]

​@@johannessoonik1007 Yes, I'd be expecting DRL lights not to work (as I don't have any), but since on "0" I have low beams turned OFF, I'd expect them to come ON in low light, as the car has a light sensor near the City Safety camera. Also, on V40 models, when driving in shade or cloudy weather with "Auto", the parking lights switch ON in order to have the the tail lights light up and more visible. So on "Auto" I'd expect OFF lights in daylight; ON parking lights in shade / woods / sunset, and ON low beam in low light.

[@iri400]

Hi! Do you think that this operation can be done on a 2004 Volvo V50 2.4i 170hp. In the future there will be many changes on the engine power side and I wanted a digital speedometer, you can find a variant for this upgrade. Regards!
