Hi, does anyone know if we need to use an adapter cable for the gen2 S60 (2018) factory head unit to add another amp? I want to keep the factory amp. I saw this, not sure if I need it. Not finding much info anywhere on this topic...

Welcome to the forum.

Based on the headunits listed in the item's description I'd guess this one isn't suitable and only for the older models

Thank you twice! This helps!

Anyone know if I'll need any other adapter(s) for the 2018 head unit (not premium package)?

there is no head unit as such , the function is split between several control units connected by fibre optic .

Thanks, I was reading about that. I see the amp under the passenger seat. Looks like I'll need to splice in. If anyone knows of a kit to do this, would be great. Thanks again!

I did read a post on a USA site where someone had used a Parrot SOT cable to "splice" into the harness under the seat. If I can fine the link I'll post it in here
