Legend Entertainment System Installed in 2013 XC90
 

Finally installed the Legend Entertainment System in my 2013 XC90 complete with reversing camera and pairing with steering controls. Also has a GPS antenna and 4G aerial in the A pillar and a SIMM adapter and 2 USB extensions in the glove box.

Whole job took me around 5 hours to install but probably take an hour if I had to do it again as I've never tried a job like this before.

Wow looks great, where did you get the surround from? Do you have a link to where you bought all this from? Thanks

Actually looks good enough to convert me as hate the original set up but dislike most after markets.

Have you details of the install? Did you bypass the amp?

Looks a nice bit of kit

I don't think it bypasses the AMP. The CD unit ends up under the passenger seat and the input selector dial hides under the carpet in the centre console.

Price is £500 (US$680) including international shipping. Includes the head unit, GPS antenna, 4G antenna, SIM dock and 2 USB docks that live in the glove box. Doesn't include the reversing camera which is an optional extra for £15 (US$20). It looks well made and definitely improves and modernises the cabin.

It is made and sold by a guy in Taiwan. To order you need to join the 'Legend Volvo XC90 CAR AUDIO' Facebook group. He is super helpful via Messenger both pre and both sales support.

It is mostly Plug and Play and I'd estimate an hour install including the buttons on the steering wheel if you know what you are doing.

That’s a good looking thing - still toying with the idea of a lateish original XC90 rather than a new V90.

My Legend has the 6 CD player upright behind it.
Some issues with SIM cards as the holder is 8 terminal and the majority of SIMs are 6 terminal.
Got round it by upgrading my phone to unlimited data and then set hotspot tethering to permanent. That way, as soon as I start my car, the Legend latches onto my phone.

I replaced my cigarette lighter socket with a dual USB connector and couple that to the Legend USB cables. Plug and Play!

It uses the built in amp, which is why you need to keep the CD player. This have the amp built into it.

Great job - I have the kit just arrived and also have the reverse camera, any tips for how to thread the wiring through the car?

There's a Volvo XC90 facebook group where a couple of members have installed it - all were very complimentary about the support from the seller.

Everything is done through the facebook group, but there are essentially 6 versions, with prices to match spec.

They all have the same size screen, it's the under the hood features that differ.

Are these Legend units also a DAB radio?

Not directly, the Legend supports a USB plug in DAB module as an add-on. Once installed DAB works seamlessly just as all the other apps via the touch screen.

I've been a wondering. With the original design of the car, the antenna was under the plastic panel at the back of the roof.

Wonder how well a DAB antenna would work there instead of clagged on the window (which frankly, just looks unsightly lol)

From my own experience of DAB, reception is always the week part of the system. I would think that an external aerial is worth investigating. There might even be a part from another model that fits in the plastic thingy.

Great job, looks great. It's one of the best upgrades I have done to my xc90. I went a stage further and also installed a 9" OLED screen above the dash purely to show maps / navigation in line of sight. The top screen uses an independent speaker behind the dash for navigation. The Legend does everything else and both screens are independent of one another.
