Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - C30 Stereo upgrade to Performance head unit?

I love my C30 but the person who ordered it ordered it with Bluetooth but didn't upgrade to High Performance sound so I have no Aux.

Seems this is a common problem!

What I need to know is can I just swap the head unit to the High Performance sound unit and get Vida plugged in and tell the car it has a Performance head unit? (I know I will need the aux cabling etc as well but I'm sure I can get that from a breakers).

I've searched and searched but haven't been able find the info on whether the wiring loom is the same between the standard single CD head unit I have and the Performance single CD head unit.

And how it is plugged in so you get bluetooth and aux.

I tried speaking to my local Volvo specialist but they didn't seem to know, they just said they could turn off some security feature in Vida.
But they didn't really answer the question if the wiring was the same and if it could be enabled in the software so the car recognises it.

Any help much appreciated.
