Hi mate from across the pond. Carey here from America. Your videos helped me install an Android CarPlay in my 2011 XC90. They are very detailed oriented and I watched it while doing my own installation. Cheers! 😊

Good job guys, you actually show the installation of the android auto unit with verbal details. It's great when you tubers show video with verbal breakdown during install.

Thank you for posting this it made installation very easy and covered all areas in detail.

Excellent video.

Your camera is backwards, it's showing your steering wheel on the wrong side. JK, great video, I'm about to attempt this.

Thanks from Lithuania;)

Great video many thanks

Hello! Great video and very helpful for getting my screen installed! It isn’t using the subwoofer at all when playing through Bluetooth, and it sounds very poor compared to the normal car usb connection. I’ve spotted a plug marked ‘sub woofer’ from the screen but have no connections for this. Did you have the same problem or can you offer any advice please? Thanks!

Thanks for all of the brilliant videos especially the link to get the non-aux version. The kit contains a fan for the head unit, have you installed this on yours?

Hi Nice video. I'm thinking about using one of those android units with my 2008 D5 with built in Navigation and AUX input plus CD changer ( input connector in the middle console) So every sound from the android unit will bypass the amplifier? Also from the original radio after mounting this android unit like CD changer , radio, external cable aux input ? i understand that for parking sensors but for mobile connected via Bluetooth or music via android this does not sound very positive. Is there a way to still have all sounds via amplifier? Will there also be a supported unit witjh newer android o it? Version 10 is quite old. i appreciate any inputs also to my maybe misunderstandings.

@c2fixit

If your Volvo has an aux input, then the original radio, cd player, parking sensors and external cable aux input will continue to work. The amp is only bypassed for older models So, in your Volvo, all these functions will continue to work I’m sure that the android unit will be updated with future android releases, and you will be able to download and use them www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314560935148?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=vkcosyhktgw&sssrc=2051273&ssuid=vkcosyhktgw&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

It depends if your volvo has aux or doesn't. If it does have the aux function, then this won't solve your problems as you need to select the aux setting from the radio. However, if you don't have aux, then go for it, as your problem is most probably to do with the fibreoptics inside the car for the radio. As the screen bypasses the fibreoptics, it would work.
