I bought the GROM-MST4 for my Volvo S40 with a busted 6 disc changer. Since Volvo's 6 disc cd players are very unreliable (I've had 2 in my S40 within a year) this is an excellent solution. The Grom unit is reasonably easy to fit my only stumbling bloke was the power and ground wiring but after some research online it turned out to be relatively simple. So for a 54 plate S40 with high performance audio the wiring is.. from the back of the 6 disc changer you have a fibre optic and power connector Orange/Yellow wire is 12v accessory/switched + and the ground (-) wire is Black/Blue. If you are unsure I would test the wiring first to make sure you have the right ones, these where the right ones for my car but might not be for yours.

+Olio2006 Yes it will work for your car as long as your stereo is the same. 12/2004 used 2005 model line.

I'll check today. Thanks alot

Just installed an MST4 in my 2005 S40 Six CD changer by following this video to the letter (or should that be to the second?). You can do the install without removing the waterfall as in this video, however, allow yourself plenty of time as it's quite fiddly but with patience you will get there. Some notes from my experience. 1. Before you start doing anything, remove all of your CDs from the CD changer. You can't do this after the install. 2. When you pop out the ICU don't be surprised to find a grey sea of cables wrapped in Volvo's finest foam tape. You can remove the connector that connects to the Waterfall just to move that strand out of the way and give yourself more room. To find the strand you are looking feel to the back left of the CD player, grasp that bundle gently and trace towards the front of the dash. One you are sure you have the right one, you'll have to carefully remove the foam tape around the wires (I used the scissors from a pen knife really carefully) in order to expose the wires and fit the posi taps. Other than that it was relatively straight forward. One other note if you have the Bluetooth kit and pair your phone, then un pair it and try to pair it again the phone may say "Incorrect PIN." In this case turn your phone fully off (power down) then go through the procedure to reset devices on the Grom. Then power on the phone and it'll connect this time. This is described in the manual but I faffed around for a while before I realised I had to power down the phone. The Grom seems better than a Bluepower unit as you can connect any phone or table to it with the latest OS and just work from there. Bluepower already looks a bit dated.

Nice man. Thanks for the upload. I'd like to do this but add a wired connection for best audio quality and hands free telephone function that can be controlled via the steering wheel buttons.

+stein ingwald, yes we have the kit for your car. GROM-MST4 will work, please check our website. Thank you.

I have a 2006 Volvo C70 with 6-CD changer, and would like to add the GROM bluetooth music streaming functionality via smartphone connection. Please advise which GROM model I should order, thanks!

the connector situation has been mightily simplified in recent years with these kinds of units and their connectors.

I have a 2005 mod s40 with high performance. it is never delivered from Volvo with aux, have you tried on older cars than 2007 mod? Aux came first at the 2007 mod with the two greatest sterio mod. car of the video is a 2007 mod or later.

What is exactly the difference between the 6cd kit and the 1cd kit? Can the 6cd kit be used in a 1cd audio system in a certain way? Maybe by changing a specific cable?

The wires are a totally different colour on my 2005 Volve S40 with single CD player. I can't figure out which wire to use.

I have a 2005 with the 6 cd changer however the changer has broken - displays ‘deck error’. Will this unit replace that, removing the error as well as adding Bluetooth, if so it’s killing two birds with one stone.

Been looking for this in South Africa with no luck

I am in the process of installing the MST4 on my 2005 s40 today. Everything went according to plan with the fiber optics. The one snag I have hit is that the electrical wire bundling as shown in this video is definitely different than what exists behind my radio. I have traced 2 bundles- one to the display unit and one to the "keyboard unit". There is a 3rd bundle that seems to be in the same place as the bundle in the video where I should find a red/yellow wire (the power) and a red/black wire (the ground). I cannot seem to trace where this bundle goes but I am assuming it goes to the CD player. I did identify a red/yellow wire but there is no corresponding red/black - only a solid black wire. Is it possible that these are the power and ground for the ptap? Why would my interior wires on my 6 CD unit be different than what is in the video? any help from grom or other grom users would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

If I had all that installed, would the Bluetooth functions and all that work if I put in a 4-6 channel amplifier?

I have a 2007 Volvo V50 with a working 6 disc cd player. I would like to be able to continue using it. Does this disable the CD player entirely?

I have a 2006 S40 with premium sound package and 6 disk CD changer. Do I need to have the latest (or any certain) firmware updated on the car to use this?

Hi! Just installed my MST4 on my 2005 s40 following your instructions. Only problem is I can't see the song titles even if their title is in ASCII. What should I do?

Have a 2006 S40 and Samsung S7. Can MST4 receive and play music from my phone via bluetooth without buying the little micophone adapter? Would plugging my phone into USB work like the flash stick? Thanks.

Does this make USB be recognised as CD? It seems quite complicated by having to press the eject-button to select the USB. Isn't there any way to have the modes USB and BT between the other modes?

i have a c30 2.0d powershift year 2010 without aux just radio cd and bluetooth. what device will i require. i also dont know what sound system is installed as standard

Can I play Pandora and other various music apps using this method? Right now I'm using a Bluetooth radio adapter plugged in lighter how much better is the audio with this installed?

I have a 2007 Volvo S40 however, I have the single disc CD player. Do you make something compatible with this car?

will the CD player still work when set on CD if the grom is not being used?

For those with different color wires, what did you do?

Is my 2006 S40 equipped to operate a Samsung galaxy 318ML bluetooth. it has the microphone installed up by the passenger sun visor (RHD car)

Hi there! I'm interested in buying this piece but I'm not sure if it will work. I own a 2004 Volvo S40 with a single CD HIGH PERFORMANCE audio (thought it was relevant) with no AUX input. Will the devic in this video work for me?

Will this work in my 2011 C30? Doesn't have a Mode button as it never had the Aux option

Hi there I have a 2007 c30 t5 I'm sorry for the dumb question but will this unit fit my vehicle? Thanks in advance Jim 👍🏻

Is there a recommended place to put the GROM box? Will it fit behind the cover or is it best behind the floating dash area?

Hi ! I have a C30 2011 without mode button ! Only have am/fm and cd ! This interface work with my Volvo ? Thanks

Hi! I have a C30 2007 without AUX will it work on this stereo?

I can't find the factory wire bundle. I have a 6 CD player in my 2006 s40

What is the best way to mount the unit in 05 Volvo S40?

Would you have an email I can send a picture of the wires to?

Hi, I have a 2010 c30, would this work? I'm in the UK too, does that make a difference with that MOST security patch ive read about?

Will this work with a half-working CD player? I have a 2007 Volvo C30 and the CD player gives a "Deck Error" message when I try to eject a CD? There is actually a hack for me to eject CDs from the CD player by 1. Press eject button 2. Stick another CD in halfway 3. Wait a second and pull it back out. It will barf out the other CD enough for me to grab it. Let me know asap!!

If i have a 2005 volvo s40, one CD, no aux, what unit should I buy? tnks

Hi I have a 2005 volvo s40i with a single cd charger what grom unit will I need for Bluetooth and USB. Thanks

I have installed this and it is working beautiful, but the CD randomly starts playing. I am having problems getting the MST unit to work again. What can I do?

Can you still play CDs through the cd player with this installed?

I have a c70 2011 what do I need? only have phone and not streaming . trough bluetooth . so please tell what all parts I neede?:-)

Hi GROM Audio! Can you send me link to your product for my Volvo S40 2005 with single CD radio? This video will be actual for my radio? Thanks in advance!

does it matter if my radio is not a 6 disc cd player? mine is only a single.

Should the car be all the way turned off for the installation?

Hi there. I have a 2009 model Volvo S40 with the single CD, aux in and no USB. will this unit work?

What about a 2000 Volo 40st will this work

A car without mode " mode" it ok for that or not ?

I have a 2008 Volvo C30 will this work on mine also is it compatible with android

Is there a chance this won't work (MOST cannot be turned off)? That's my only real concern. I called my dealer and he had no idea what that meant.

does 2008 volvo s40 come with bluetooth

Those power tapers one put onto CD power cables, would not hurt the writers themselves? I would assume not. Hopefully I can afford this soon enough!

Does anybody know how I can remove the Bluetooth that was pre existing when I bought and just bring it back to the way it used to be

Hi, I have a Volvo C30 (2007) with standard performance sound. Will one of your GROM Products work with my stereo? If so, which one? Thank you very much in advance. Greetings

I have different color wires. What’s do i do??

is there a way to hide the wires and the box?

2008 xc70 this will work ?

i have a volvo v50 2004, interior looks just the same, you think it will work?

Do you have an email so I can send a picture of my wiring?

Installing mines now but I don't have a red and black wire. What to do?

would this give me cd audio quality?

I have a question, what if a volvo c30 2010 does not have the mode button ? My volvo only has a CD button where you mode button is

Hello, I have Volvo V50 2004 with high performance sound. I can buy to my car? Or something similar? Thank you.

Buyer beware, if for whatever reason your vehicle isn't compatible with the MST4, GROM will not refund you outside of 30 days. Prior to purchasing, they informed me that it should work in my 2012 MINI after dealer reprogramming. Turns out they were wrong and it isn't compatible at all (my car lacks the necessary optical connections) and since it's outside of 30 days they are offering me a pathetic $80 buyback for a $280 product :(

All volvo have hide aux box back of passenger dashbord

The instructions regarding power are wrong.
