Legend Entertainment System Installed in 2013 XC90
 
2 Attachment(s)
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?
