I have a 06 S40 with the 6cd player, and this works amazing! I will say it is slightly different from the video but only in terms of physical component locations and the number of screws. I had a few mistakes i made during the install, and the owner got back to me right away and was extremely helpful. Definitely recommend if you don’t have an aux port.

Very happy with the kit, works very well overall

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

Very happy with this kit, install went very well, unit works great with Spotify on a google pixel 8 in a V50. Shipping took longer than I thought it would but the package showed up in great shape. Would recommend this to anyone with an older Volvo who wants to add Bluetooth/hands free calling without changing the head unit. Cheers from Canada!

Beautiful piece of kit

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

I couldn't wait to give this a try, and it meets every expectation, it works like an absolute charm! The requested Bluetooth name is set, and the sound quality is just as good as a CD.

I have a 2004 V50 without CD changer, and I'd pretty much given up and settled on an FM transmitter with a few CDs, until someone mentioned this little module... It's a beautiful piece of (reverse) engineering, and I thank you greatly for the effort.

Shipping took about two weeks to the Netherlands, but it got here safe and sound. The instructions are good enough to convey the basic concept, but my radio has a completely different layout than in the pictures, so I had to improvise here and there. If (!) you have a CD-P1 radio with the motherboard on the side and not at the bottom, I recommend reusing the original brown flex cable between the disc reader and the module, since the included cables are a bit too short for this particular unit.

The only thing that would make this absolutely perfect is steering wheel control, which seems to be perpetually out of stock. I sent multiple inquires about future availability, but sadly I have not received any reply at all. With that in mind, I've made a start building my own interface for this, any progress will be shared on the Need for Swede discord.

Only option if you have no standard aux in your volvo

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

Shipping to germany was done in round about one week. Installation is doable even for untrained ones. The documentation could be a bit more detailed, but is okay. I thought id get problems with the antenna during installing the radio back in the car, but all was fine.
Personalized BT Name is correct.
The audio quality is super, just like you are listening to a CD.
So yeah thats all, it is all of its money worth.

Peter | Feb. 8, 2024

great!

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

Delivery was pretty fast, I installed the module in my Volvo C30 and it works flawlessly. A major improvement over my previous Bluetooth FM transmitter

Very good

For AUX input VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

A very cool and convenient product, there is everything you need and even a spare cable. The video how to mount is clear and very helpful, the whole process took no more than an hour and a half. this is the most profitable way to make music from your phone, or to connect some CarPlay to this cable later.

Falko | Dec. 6, 2023

Very happy with this solution in my V50

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

This is absolutely brilliant. The quality is amazing and it works smoothly. It was fun to install this. important to know: Your CD player has to be able to actually read and play discs, otherwise it won't work. Great and helpful communication, I recommend! thank you!

Awesome device

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

What a great device for a great car (Volvo V50 '06)! And the sound quality is awesome! Installation was easy (thanks to the great YT instruction movie)

Produto como o descrito

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

Initially I had some difficulty in pairing with the mobile phone, because I didn't understand that I had to insert a cd. I suggest that to complement the video a written description would help. The product is a good update to the factory system. It has the expected sound, I haven't tried the handsfree yet but I think it will work as expected.

Robert | June 9, 2023

Sounds as good as a CD!

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

This module works great! This is the only way to get Bluetooth functionality in my 2005 volvo s40, with quality that sounds as good as a CD! I was using an FM transmitter before, but the staticky noise was so obnoxious. It's great that someone is still making these, even in 2023!

Thomas | April 27, 2023

Best decision for my V50 ever

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

Installation was a little tricky because my radio was quite different than the one in the video. My radio had the motherboard mounted on the side, not the top. Had to figure out where to connect the bluetooth module, finally I looped it between the existing cable from the CD unit and the motherboard. Then glued the bluetooth module to the side of the cd unit.

Technically everything worked absolutely well, great sound and good handsfree communication. Have the feeling the sound is even better than the CD.

The only thing I regret is that I have not bought the part much earlier!

Very good technical engineering work, big compliments to the developer!

Thomas | April 21, 2023

Great solution for Volvo Cars

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

I waited a really long time for these to come back into stock. It appears to be a newer design different than the one in the video. The install is about 98% the same though, just figuring out where to mount the new antenna. Routed the mic to the top of the A pillar through the dash, and have no issue with people hearing me on hands free.
Comes with everything you need except a CD.
Sound quality is great, only time I remember is when the CD restarts there is a moment of sound change.
Can't wait for the steering wheel control to change song.

Martin | April 1, 2023

Great product! Sounds and works perfect.

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

Installed in a V50 -07, the process took around 60min from start to finish. Works perfectly, I highly recommend this if you want to modernize your boring stock radio.

Aftermarket car accessory of the decade

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

This is a great great piece of engineering. If there was an industry award for aftermarket car accessories this module should be nominated in the category “aftermarket car accessory of the decade”. Due to the fact that it integrates seamlessly with the OEM Volvo car stereo it provides for an elegance and sound quality that few - if any - other aftermarket car accessory manufacturers has shown effort to compete with. Nor can they compete with the kind of enthusiasm, engineering effort and product development required to bring a product like this to market.
To quote ABBA, I say “Thank you for the music”.

Paul | March 20, 2023

Exactly what I needed

For AUX input VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

Delivery took a while (understandable for shipping from Lithuania to the Netherlands), but everything arrived in good order. The installation process was very easy, just follow the provided video/document and one should be able to figure it out. Took me less than an afternoon and most of that time was spend on figuring out how to disassemble the waterfall module to gain access to the CD player as my car (2010 C30, facelifted model) is assembled a bit different (more complex) than the older C30/S40/V50 models. I found this video to be very helpful for the facelifted version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itTmzwu6_h8

The module works very well after installation. I'm not an audiophile but there seems to be nothing wrong with the audio quality. The volume is perhaps a bit lower than the CD player but nothing major. Furthermore the steering wheel buttons do not work, but they didn't work on my previous car either so I can live with that :P. We'll see how it holds up over time.

Overall I'm very pleased. This was exactly what I was looking for after I overlooked "Mode"/"CD" difference when I bought the car. Great work!

Great little solution

For AUX input VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

Great product, complete documentation, easy install.

For those curious; no, you cannot change tracks from the steering wheel. Pressing the buttons will just change songs on the CD.

I love it

Best bluetooth solution for a C70

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

Being in the situation many others are, with a basic 1CD player with no Aux input in my Volvo, this was a godsend.
Having tried FM radio transmitters for bluetooth audio, this is just a step above. The sound quality is brilliant, feeding into the CD system.
Took about 3 hours from start to finish, which included about 30mins trying to route the microphone cable behind the dash.
Documentation is great for install of the module, with the video showing all you need to know. Perhaps more information about where specifically the microphone cable could be routed, as there are many possibilities where to go.
Brilliant communication from the creator, and a great item. Finally we can enjoy our music and hands-free in our car!

Emil | March 21, 2022

Very good, kinda long shipping

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

The product works just perfect, you can have any cd you want and it will still work (you don't need a cd with 1 hour of silence to make it work), and the quality is good. Connects super fast too.

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

It is a little fiddly to mount, but it works so much better than the ones that are mounted in the original aux and cigarette lighter socket. Very satisfied with the module

Perfectly economic solution

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

Great device for the price. Especially for a Volvo. It took me about 20min to install it and play music through it. Instructions would be a great add on but that's what YouTube is for. Now as far as the the different options of the device. I opted for the one with a mic connection. Not what mic can I use. Idk more info should be given.

Peter | Nov. 2, 2021

I am exited! Very cool solution

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

My Volvo V50 has a very basic equiped CD Radio, there was no other solution than this to find.
Even the assembly video shows another CD player than mine, it was easy to plug in comparable to video on the website.
It was worth to wait some days for the shipping, bluetooth connection is realy very fast and reliable.

Thank you for this cool Module bringing my favorite music playlist in my volvo Radio.

Worked perfectly!

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

So I ordered the Bluetooth receiver for a Volvo V50 from 2004 without the mode button.

My CD unit was way more basic than the one in the tutorial and didn't look too much alike. Still easy to figure out which one needed to tap in to install the receiver.

Really happy! Thank you!

THE final Bleutooth Problem Solver for P1 V50's

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

Like many wrote before, I explored a lot of different options to enhance the basic radio-cd in my volvo V50 Sport I with BT music streaming.
With the help of this module and two different "how to" video's on YT, I finally solved this quest in a couple of hours.
Without great technical skills, just "monkey sees, monkey does" is enough.
Many thanks to this technician who provided me with a clean and affordable high quality solution.

Joris | Oct. 10, 2021

This is the best solution without changing radio

For Bluetooth module VOLVO V50, S40, C30, C70, XC90

Really proud that Justas is saving the whole P1 industry AND he is Lithuanian! Šaunu!
It is less expensive than buying a new radio, however more expensive than my Roidmi 3S, though the sound quality is noticeably a lot better. I didn't notice how much high frequencies and clarity I was missing with my FM transmitter.
Installation was not as easy as I was expecting. You need to remove the whole floating panel and the radio, in my case the radio was stuck and it needed a lot of force to get out. The documentation and video was good enough to understand how to do everything, but as other people mentioned, there are some outdated parts that question you if you have all the needed parts or you are doing that correctly.
You need a playing CD in order for Bluetooth to work, so I am recommending you generate a blank mp3 (Audacity -> Generate -> Silence -> 79 mins) and burn it into a CD. In this way, every time you press CD nothing starts playing until the Bluetooth device is connected.
One thing that is a bit annoying to me is that every time my android phone connects to the Bluetooth module a notification pops up that aptX is supported, I will search how to disable that.
Overall, this is a great way to get Bluetooth in P1 Volvos without AUX and MODE things. I have a 2006 Volvo V50 2.0D without those two things and now having Bluetooth with great quality is amazing.
Thanks Justas!
