Under car settings I have a power steering adjuster (low - medium - high). You can change between them when the car is stopped and it makes a world of difference. Mine was set on high and it felt very stiff, i set it on low and the steering is so light now, I love it. Oh, and it automatically stiffens a little at high speeds, it's brilliant.

You're a star 🥳 I didn't know about the additional FM menu. It's been bugging the life out of me that I couldn't find an 'AF' function for the radio. I was having to manually re-tune it every time it lost the reception.

Excellent very Informed

Great tutorial

The one thing that drives me nuts about mine is the climate control temperature setting. The driver side should control both sides unless the passengers weight is detected or more simply if the passenger decides to adjust the temp differently than the driver. So basically if I am by myself I need to change the temperature on both dials to get them in sync. Any fix for that? Haha

Hello, Kiddo, it’s me again - I’ve practically watch you grow into the Volvo guru that you are today starting with the very first P2 estate that you derped around in your early videos. LOL! Anyway, I’ve got an unusual request, if you’re interested. And this concerns a P3’s center “waterfall” climate control panel - notice that nearly all surviving ones have peeling, silver laminated ‘sitting man’ buttons for the fan’s manual, directional flow? You know which three sitting man-shaped buttons that I’m talking about? The peeling factory material on it looks like it’s some kind of metallic Mylar wrappings on the head, torso, and legs of a sitting man shaped buttons, now - I wonder if those three buttons can be removed and dipped into some kind of water dipped film wrap, not unlike the overused ones that are almost always the favorite method to cover everything with fake carbon fiber pattern… Y’See where I’m getting at? So instead of reshaping small flat sheets of Mylar silver stickers to refurbish those three odd buttons, do you know of a thin, silver, water transfer sheets that would wrap the buttons but are translucent enough to allow backlighting as though factory? Hmmmm… I can’t find any such solution on eBay but you with your growing base might find some Volvo nutter out there who has this solution but too shy to market them. There’s gotta be one other bloke out there who’s tire of looking at the cracking silver buttons on the ‘waterfall’ panel. Cheers!

Apparently, Volvo allowed some solely VIDA-customisable options directly available to the user. Nice

You’re a wise man not listening to the radio-the last 2years have been pergutory with the bs that’s going on.I am going to do the same 👍.

I’m not too sure if I’m late to the party haha but I do have a question. I want to use the aux mode option with a wire that connects with the aux input into the car and the other end with the charging port of my phone (iPhone 11) I’m wondering if the aux mode would still work? Since the usb no longer works for my phone (:

I do like the video. One thing I have now is that my iPhone 12 will not pair with the car. Apple advised the bluetooth software version is out of date. How do we upgrade the software - is that possible? My V70 is a 2010 model, or is there a radio update replacement that can be used

Hi, any ideas on faults with these systems, I'm new to volvo and only had my v70 a week, today I've turned the stereo on and it's gone through the boot up with the high performance sound image but then nothing! No sound, no controls as though it'd not turned on?

Can someone help with Volvo V70 ‘08, My audio system don’t have FM, Am, Aux settings. When you press on Mode button you can see grayed out AUX and FM.

What do you use to clean your dash?Love my Volvo p3’s simple but classy interior.Can the power steering sensitivity be adjusted on a 08 v70 d5?Find mine heavy when parking.

Its funny, I have an S80 D5 twin turbo executive and my parner has a V70 T6 AWD. On the face of it both displays look the same, but there are menu differences, her car has steering settings, mine has units of measurements settings for temperature and units for trip computer. These are not shared between cars. I swapped the heads over to see if these settings could be altered in each car and they can't, the screen goes blank when an incompatible setting is selected.

Really good clear video. I'm looking at getting one of these. Because I'm old skool, I'm wondering if (hoping) the CD player plays MP3 CDs at all?

Have you ever had or heard anyone have issues with sound coming from just one side of car? No matter how you adjust the radio

Could you do a tutorial on the Volvo SatNav system please ? The heavyweight handbook is so detailed as to be totally confusing and seriously unhelpful !

The USB works with a usb drive that has music loaded onto it. I use my usb all the time. You have to make sure the usb is formatted to whatever format the Volvo needs, then put music tracks on it

is the folding mirror like a extra feature when buying a volov my v70 10 momentum doesent have them?

Hi mate. Thanks for this - very informative. Do you know how to get into the deep tissue settings which would allow me to change the language? In this case from Japanese to English.

I don’t have the option to change units on the trip computer

Please the language settings, i can not change my radio from Dutch to English.volvo v70 2008.

Why doesn’t anyone talk about the ridiculous numeric keypad? I need to know what that is about. In a Bluetooth world, it’s really weird. Might as well attach a rotary phone to the dash

where is Aux input in this gen located? (Don't have the car, looking to buy V70 and move from my 2001 S60, so I wanna know where to check for AUX)

I believe that the usb is for iPods only

Hey . Whats a p3. I always hear you say it. i know its a dumb question. Sorry .. but i have a volvo s80 08 turbo.

Hi ,I need help to change lenguaje please ,I've got V 70/2008 Japan import. Thank u

My infotainment system lacks phone function; does anybody know if l can simply swapt the module to get basic phone functionality? I guess there should be a micro somewhere for hands off phone use.... thanks!
