volvo v60 tft display retrofit quotation

Used TFT clocks DIM from S/V60, XC60, S80II, XC/V70III made in the years 2014 to 2017 (the unit from V40 series can only be used in V40 cars - it has different mechanical shape than x60, x70, x80)

make sure that you located the TFT DIM that matches the transmission type of the target car - Automatic (PRND display) or Manual (+ Gear -) on the right side of the display. Diesel/petrol fuel type of the donor car does NOT matter.

2pcs original Volvo terminals for repair (P/N 30656697) or 2 used terminals from a white DIM Volvo connector which is a standard for all Volvos starting from 2005

Then press DECODE CEM. We must warn you this process can take up to 24 hours(but on average it usually does not take more than 12 hours). During the whole process you can interrupt the decoding process and continue later. If you do the CEM PIN decoding then you no longer need to do it again. Thanks to this you can also make other changes in the vehicle configuration including the TFT retrofit. After this process is done you will receive an email to the account you put in in the beginning.

Then choose CAR CONFIGURATION and then “Car configuration wizard”. Then you only need to choose the “TFT retrofit” wizard. Make sure DIM is connected.

2 new fixing wires (Volvo P/N 30656697 or used) must be connected to position 7 and 8 to the white DIM connector. Keep plugging in the wires into the “body” of the connector until you can hear them click properly. Then you just place and click in the blue thingy to its place. If the wires do not sit they are supposed to the blue thingy will not stick.

Connect DiCE again, turn the ignition key to position II and open VDASH again on your computer. Go to “Car configuration wizard” and choose TFT retrofit again.

VDASH will begin to look for the newly connected TFT DIM. If all wires are correctly plugged in, the update process will begin. If not then check the connecting of the wires again using the multimeter.

Your vehicle will restart itself many times during the process and at the end you will see a picture of the vehicle, the state of fuel and more. At the very beginning the incorrect measures can be displayed, but after a short trial run it should be fixed. The kilometres will also automatically reappear.

You can change and move the clock motivesonly when the engine is running (this does not have any specific explanation). The designated motive is Elegance(grey or brown). It is possible to reprogramme this motive to a blue version “R-design” (using car configuration > advanced settings > Advanced TFT DIM settings > Screen Skins > DIM: R-design menu), motives Ecoand Powerremain unchanged.

1. Temporarily disconnect newly connected cables from the white DIM connector, and connect the original DIM2. Start the engine (SCL the steering lock will now unlock)3. While the engine is running, disconnect the original DIM connector and reconnect the additional wiring, connect the TFT DIM4. Turn the engine off and lock the car5. SCL will NOT turn on again (unless you connect the original DIM). You will not observe any further immobilisation issues.

I am currently reverse engineering the oldest digital dashboard Volvo has produced, from a Volvo 480 (1986-1995), because I want to put a custom computer in. The dashboard manufacturer (VDO) has put a custom Hitachi HD63A01V1 MCU in, which was quite advanced for the 1980s, but technology has progressed a lot the past 35 years.

With high resolution digital instrumentation, you can adapt your car"s instrumentation layout and interface according to your preferences. The 8" active TFT screen (Thin Film Transistor) gives the interaction between car and driver a new dimension.

Performancehas an uncompromisingly sporty look with red background lighting. The tachometer appears in the centre gauge and a digital speedometer appears in the centre of the display, which reinforces your sense of control. On the right is a power meter that tells you how much power is available and how much is used at that actual time.Part. No.Description

Hmm... after viewing some Youtube videos, it looks like the center TFT should just work with the stock connector. Looks like only the "eco", "power", and gear selection indicator don"t work out of the box. Looks like the Russian adapter fixes the gear selector display, at the minimum.

Compared to other major automakers, Volvo had a relatively small booth at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show—the company actually shared floor space with Ericsson—but the Swedish brand made a compelling infotainment-specific announcement. Volvo is working with both Ericsson and Parrot to roll out an unusual update to its latest in-car infotainment setup. The collaborative effort will result in (at first) a dealer-installed retrofit kit that partially transforms the automaker’s central display screen to essentially an Android touch-screen unit with an all-new, app-based interface optimized for touch control.

Perhaps the most bizarre aspect of the new system is that it lends the seven-inch screen found in the XC60 crossover and S60 sedan (plus the V60 wagon not available here) an intriguing dual nature. That’s because the stock display interface—controlled by steering-wheel and dash-mounted buttons and knobs—is maintained for all of the car’s key functions like navigation, climate-control, and settings. The retrofitted touch-screen system is accessed from the main menu by clicking on a new “Connected” entry; this switches the central display to a slightly different-looking interface stuffed with apps like Spotify, TuneIn, and Parrot Maps and that is operable via touch inputs.

This secondary sub-menu gains touch control via infrared emitters fitted around the screen; break the infrared beam with your finger, a stick, or pretty much any pointy object, and the system can place the location of your “touch” and translate that into a button push—hence the stock seven-inch display doesn’t need to be replaced with a capacitive-touch screen. The touch-operated “Connected” sub-menu is based on Parrot’s Android-based Asteroid car infotainment system software; it runs off a fist-sized, glove-box-mounted hardware box. Apps can be downloaded directly to the box from Parrot’s Asteroid app market via a mobile-phone hotspot (phones are connected via wi-fi or a USB connection) or a USB 3G data card. The hardware in the glove box is wired directly into Volvo’s stock infotainment system. Ericsson’s contribution to the system will be cloud support for the various compatible apps and functions, though at present, specifics on the cloud functionality are scarce.

Volvo representatives on hand at CES shied away from describing the retrofit setup outright as a stopgap measure designed to fill the gap between now and when the company’s next-generation, modular Scalable Platform Architecture come online (with modular engines, structures, and infotainment). That said, we’re told elements of the retrofit kit are being looked at for Volvo’s next-gen infotainment system. For now, it looks like the dealer-installed retrofit interface will show up in Europe early this year, followed by a factory-installed version closer to the end of 2013. Although details on the system were thin at CES, we expect more finalized info will arrive before the new system hits the U.S., though timing, pricing, and availability have not yet been finalized. Because the touch-screen doodads and secondary computer are designed to work with Volvo’s semi-standardized seven-inch display, it can be fitted to any post-2010 Volvo XC60, S60, or V60 wagon.
