AUX solution (for older models up to 2007)
Hi guys few months ago I solved finaly how to made AUX input
as owners of older than 2007 XC models didnt have AUX input. This should apply to any 2003-2006 XC90 You will need experience soldering with small solder, you will need 1 simple Audio cable with 3,5mm plug for mobile phone, MP3 players or similar audio memory cards readers ect...(players). Cheapest solution as many modules on market prices are from 350 Euro up to 580 Eur. For listening music in XC90? Crazy. Here is good, cheapest, reliable and many months tested solution. Lets start.

Remove the covers from the rear headlining panel. Unscrew the screws from inside the panels.
Carefully pry off the headlining panel at the rear edge using a plastic weatherstrip tool. Grip the rear edge of the headlining panel. Pull the headlining panel down until all the clips on the inside release. Applies to cars with three rows of seats Disconnect the connector for the rear roof lighting. Pull the panel backwards. Carefully pull off the top edge of the right-hand D-post panel. Continue down until the three clips have released. For cars with D-post loudspeakers: disconnect the connectors for this loudspeaker. Remove the right-hand D-post panel by pulling upwards slightly and unhooking it from the side panel. You can spot complete unit. Very nice professional quality made in Japan of course by Mitsubishi. You can remove 2 modules left one is GPS middle one is TMC module but to remove it you need first to remove 2 screw and than middle module first than left GPS one as GPS have two strange holders on left side. Just pull it out firmly. Remove 3 screw holding complete unit be carefull to pull out brown antenna cable from connections of antennas in middle of console. Remove plastic cable tie.

Than slightly push up with screwdriver cover UP.DO NOT push screwd.too deep inside.
Voila Radio unit is open. VEry high quality components used for Volvo. Nice. NOW CUT SMALL LINE ON BOARD marked with WHITE DOT from R9 going under the Electrolytic Condensator. THis to prevent mixing of Radio signal with AUX one later. If you dont cut you will have background sound of radio. Tested and confirmed. Cut this slightly with some small screwdriver or scisors...not so deep. Here marked with RED circle. Check with zoom lens if small line is cut.

Now first put some tube for isolation of ground to not touch nothing in any case and sold first ground as photo show on this BIG POINT near this 2 Electrolytic Condensators.
C301 and C 872 Some boards are not the same !!! Please check if the board is the same like mine. Than solder ON + under the 2 Electr. Cond. on the up side L signal and R signal wire. If you see Electrolityc Condensators you can spot BLACK mark on one part (this is - negative) and other not marked is + positive (where you need to sold signal wire.) Maybe my red marking + - on top will disturbe you. DOnt look this RED markings I just mark it to know which parts are. Photo show exactly that on the right side is + to solder one by one wire. Take care to have small soldering head to not touch or destroy other small elements and not overheating nothing. What we are going to do? Just solder Left and Right Audio signal with Ground to board. So simple. Cut R9 line (not resistor) on board to stop AM radio signal going through. Nothing Else.

9 Soldering note
Use only small head of Weller or any soldering.
im suggesting before you place / start soldering wires on board use a little bit solder on spots as this board is covered by tiny nail polish against moisture. Touch all points with a little solder wire and than solder wires. Tested.
