New head unit

Fat Magpie · Jan 24th, 2024, 09:32

Opinions needed:

I will install a head unit to replace the Volvo factory fit unit. But which one do you guys prefer?

Option A - This one fits into the existing area for a screen. But it has less functionality.

Option B - This one is larger, it's like mounting a tablet on my dashboard

The tablet one looks sh1te I'd go for the integrated factory look.

Well, the new unit arrived today; it took nearly 2 months to get here. the build quality is impressive, the unit itself is aluminum, and the whole unit is quite heavy. I hope to install it in the next few days

Hi, looks like a good kit, does front and rear parking sensors still sound? I have read some upgrades loose the front sensor signal. Also is there a way of taking line level sound to separate amplifiers? I recently bought an '09 XC60, love the car, but want to upgrade sound system.

Cheers
