volvo v60 tft display retrofit factory

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.

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.

I own a similar age V60 SE Lux Nav. For me the TFT display, and being an SE Lux Nav were musts. The xenons really are as good as people say. Brilliant at night and I would say better than the LED�s on a 1 year old 3 series hire car I had a few weeks back.

The TFT display for me made it feel more advanced, a nicer place to be and gave more adaptability and information such as satnav guidance as mentioned before. The analogue dual really did look very cheap on the Business Edition I test drove, didn�t like it at all.

Here at Integrated Automotive we live and breath Apple CarpPlay and Android Auto, so we thought it would be a good idea to provide you with a detailed FAQ covering a wide range of topics relating retrofitting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into your vehicle. This FAQ relates to our IMI-1000 retrofit Carplay/Android Auto multimedia interface which is compatible with BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Range Rover and MINI vehicles.

Apple CarPlay is a user interface designed by Apple Inc specifically for vehicles. It is designed to display applications from your phone onto the built-in display of your vehicle dash. Android Auto is designed by Android Inc/Google Inc and provides similar features to Apple CarPlay.

No, this is one of the key benefits of our retrofit CarPlay/Android Auto upgrade – our system will effecitly upgrade “non-navigation” vehicles to become “nav-equipped”.

Apple Carplay and Android Auto work by connecting your iPhone/Android phone to your in-car entertainment system, the iPhone/android phone will tranmit the CarPlay/Android user interface to the vehicles display via the retrofit Carplay/Android Auto interface (the IMI-1000) and also allows the driver to control carplay using the factory fitted entertainment controls such as BMW i-Drive or Audi MMI. CarPlay can connect wirelessly or via a USB cable.

The wireless connection method for CarPlay  is shown in the graphic below, you will notice the Bluetooth connection is dropped once the WiFi connection is established. Our IMI-1000 retrofit kit has both Bluetooth and WiFi antennas.

A small multimedia computer called the IMI-1000 is installed behind the dash, it is connected to the rear of your existing iDrive/MMI/NTG head unit and a wiring loom is provided for “plug and play installation”. It provides an interface between your iPhone/Android phone and the BMW i-Drive / Audi MMI / Mercedes NTG entertainment system. It is very similar to the “factory fit” CarPlay options you see on some new cars except that it has been designed specifically for retro-fitting into older cars which have a built in LCD displays such as the example Audi MMI system being tested in our lab below;

No, the retrofit CarPlay/Android Auto system works in parallel with the existing iDrive/MMI/NTG system. For example, you can swtich between the two by pressing the MENU button on the BMW radio panel. You do not need to remove any of the BMW iDrive system components, you simply “add in” the IMI-1000 using the plug and play wiring loom. The same is true for Audi, Mercedes, Mini and VW.

The IMI-1000 retrofit Carplay/Android auto unit is installed behind the vehicle dasboard, access is usually gained by removing the radio panel, head unit and a panel in the passenger footwell. The IMI-1000 is connected in-between the built in LCD/TFT display and the existing wiring loom. The IMI-1000 sends and receives the signals from the iPhone to the TFT display and the rest of the vehcile entertanment system. User control signals, such as BMW i-Drive or the Audi MMI control signals are interpreted by the IMI-1000 and utilised to control CarPlay. The IMI-1000 is a plug and play solution and no alterations to the OEM wiring loom are required. The CarPlay box can be removed at any time and the vehicle can be returned to factory specifications.

On most models our CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit kits will use your factory fitted microphone. If you are connecting to the car with a USB cable you can use the factory Bluetooth microphone for calls when using android auto on all models.

We do supply a microphone and have performed thorough audio testing, as the sound quality of the IMI-1000 microphone is excellent. The microphone is supplied with the retrofit kit and installation is simple.

Yes absolutely, the retrofit CarPlay kit has been designed to be installed by anybody who is a competetent DIY’er. Please note, installation is performed at the installers risk and no responsibility can be taken for damage caused by the installer.

16. How do I know if my car already has CarPlay, and if it doesnt, how do I know if my vehicle is compatible with an IMI-1000 retrofit CarPlay/Android Auto system?

If your car is featured on our list of “Compatible vehicles”, then your vehcile does not have CarPlay factory installed. However, it will have the necessary hardware and software to enable you to use our IMI-1000 to retrofit CarPlay/Android Auto with our system.

Yes your standard in-car entertainment system remains fully functional. when you want to use CarPlay/Android Auto, you enable it on the BMW’s by holding down the “MENU” key on the OEM iDrive controller. CarPlay will then be enabled and displayed on the LCD display, you can switch back to iDrive at any time. Different buttons are used as the “activation” button on different systems.

Yes, the choice between the audio source is seperate to the what is displayed on the LCD screen. For example, you can be listening to your DAB radio at the same time as using Waze navigation. The only limitation is that you can only use one audio source at a time, if you are listening to DAB radio then you will not hear the navigation instructions from CarPlay/Android Auto. If you want to listen to music as well as hear navigation instructions, you can do this by using one of the excellent “Radio” apps such as Radio.net, BBC Radio Player or one of the many music apps including Spotify or Amazon music in carplay.

Yes, the IMI-1000 is mounted inside the dash and does not interfere at all with “normal operation”of the vehicle, it also uses the original LCD display so no additional visible hardware is installed.

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.

Has your Volvo’s infotainment system left you wanting for more? Do you feel left out when your buddies use various gestures and touches on their top-notch German entertainment system? Well, help is at hand.

News from the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) usually details on your next smart phone or TV. However, car makers are known to show off their new tech at the event as well. Active headlamps, laser tail-lights and most importantly infotainment and multimedia systems. Volvo has displayed one such infotainment display it has been working on with Ericsson and Parrot and it seems rather interesting.

How do you turn your standard, factory-fitted screen into a touchscreen? Volvo says that by having IR emitters around the screen, the position of your touch (or even a stylus for that matter) can be detected as it would break the IR beam from reaching the source to the end. The software understands this as a ‘touch input’ and you’re good to go. Perhaps the most brilliant part of this technology is that the standard screen does not need to be replaced! Didn’t we say it was pretty cool?

The user on the other hand, does need to understand wavelength properties or IR radiations as theoretically, you wouldn’t really know if it is a touchscreen or a normal display made to be touch responsive. The most probable niggle could be a lag between the user ‘touching’ the option and the system processing it after the IR break has been studied.

Wait, what did we mean by ‘you going for it’? Volvo say that this technology will be offered as a dealer-installed retrofit for the initial period before they makes this a factory fitment. So if you’re driving a post-2010 Volvo S60, XC60 or even a V60 (with the 7-inch screen), you could soon get in touch with your dealer on the details.

However, we can only wonder how much this system could cost. Wouldn’t having a touch panel be cheaper than fitting IR emitters surrounding the screen and developing a unique software specifically for this? Yes, the fact that it can be neatly integrated into an existing car sounds good, but at what price? Volvo haven’t announced the pricing yet.

Other features of the system include wireless and 3G availability. Also, if you’re used to controlling the vehicle settings (temperature, navigation) through the steering wheel/dash mounted buttons and you fear that you’ll have to extend your arm and use the touchscreen from now on, fear not. Volvo says that these standard settings will continue to work the way they do now. It"s only if you want to get your music/video going or run various apps like Spotify, TuneIn and Parrot Maps, do you’ve to use the IR touch system.

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
