mhm. not fully convinced. the fitment doesn't seem perfect. also, the OEM volvo display seems to work as an overlay. (which probably isn't that bad, but coulnd't they integrate the functions into their screen design?)
it all depends on the price, I guess. also, the yt video kinda causes eye cancer. for a serious company, at least some quality videos would have been nice.
Just watched the 19 min video. Looks like they make some quality stuff. But since I didn't see the original video before it was taken down, I'm left wondering what the unit would look like for a P1 car.

If the unit can look good, do what its supposed to flawlessly, and interact with existing buttons properly... I'd be down for a group buy. But I need more info first.
they make units for other volvos, some SS users have install pics/how to's .. in R forum
they say that the Volvo C30/V50/S40/C70 Headunit has been in the works for 2 years. the key to it working is the "ICE adapter" it is an adaptor that bridges with the canbus and judging from the other models this will be $400-500 euros .. $550-700
Very interesting! I would possibly go for something like this, if it can be integrated PERFECTLY. Meaning it fits seamlessly into the current opening and the integration of the buttons etc. works PROPERLY.
i'm looking at Bluepower's other units, in order to integrate it with current buttons and steering wheel its an additional $99 and if you want traffic option gps and wifi options its an additional cost as well.
i'm scared to see the final price with all options
here is an unboxing of a similar Bluepower for a different model volvo. just to show you how the back and plugs would look like the ice link is the coolest part... it shows most of the functionality and the GUI. like using your steering wheel to control your andriod/ios phone and change songs. also works with pandora and the like running on your phone. 19mins long!!
I don't really use my steering wheel buttons to begin with. I really just want gps and to play songs of ipod/sd card. Hope that wont bump the price up too much
I'm with Daim. Plug and play, factory look, flush, uses radio buttons and steering controls.
