Aren't these MELBUS devices? XC90's run MOST fibre optics - so aren't compatible, no?

{beat me to it nicknick!}

Isn't that just the Dension kit (and pricier) ??

[XCF]

Not sure what you could see on that link that looked like Dension kit as I see something different ..?

That said I have no idea if this is what is needed to get video in or if it will work on 2010 XC90, just passing on link as a possible option to explore.

I get the following description (and a price of €150 - so cheaper than your link).

Hi, sorry I must have been looking here - for audio stuff.

With that video break-in would you get audio feed too, as otherwise not v useful for DVDs?

His real name is Peter and he's based in Redhill, Surrey. Look in the For sale / Wanted for posts from him - he prefers to PM people info on prices, not sure if that's a forum requirement or personal choice so I won't divulge the pricing details he gave me. I do know he was out earlier this week as he promised to get back to me on something later today / tomorrow.

If you look on here there is also a post by someone with an Active - might be Lordlichfield - he had Peter install rear DVD screens in his brand new car and posted some pictures etc.

Yes he did and TBH I would just pm Peter for full info. He is a thoroughly nice bloke who will do whatever he can to help you. There is no pressure at all and I would happily use his services again.
