Decided to swap on my 04 folding mirrors today.
Project was a complete bust. Goal was to get puddle lights, better visibility, and folding mirrors. None of those three occurred. Mirrors don't fold, puddle lights don't work, and the visibility might actually be worse! And the mirror controls in X got flipped.
Easy to see what the issue is when you compare P80 to P2 side by side.
I have absolutely no idea what Volvo was thinking with the P2 mirrors. I run my side mirrors with no overlap with the center mirrors as per the SAE guidelines and I can't even aim this driver's mirror far enough out. And the convex portion is useless. The 07+ mirrors at least I could aim that far out but the outside part was still useless. Getting fed up with this misadventure in visibility. I think I am just going to cut off the offending part of the 07 mirror and do whatever I have to to patch it together and make it work. It's probably going to look bad but changing lanes into someone is going to look worse and I'm probably going to eventually do it if I don't fix this.
Backlights quit in my HU850 lasty ear and I've had another one sitting around that I finally got in. It's from a 07 with AUX so it has the AUX as an input. I don't have AUX but I saved all the wiring and connectors from the car the HU came from. It just plugs into the connector so it should be easy to add. I'll do that at some point but thankfully GROM downgraded back to a stable version of the app last week so it's no longer a priority.
I love magic erasers
Console bin was full of garbage.
Ahhh so much cleaner with the mat.
Turned out it wasn't all garbage; there were a bunch of Canadian coins in there. And I found a few more in the door pocket that I threw in while I was there. Maybe I will get a metric cluster soon, too
Installed some better trim that I had from the same car the HU850 came from.
Saggy A pillar trim. Just so happens that I have a P2 parts car on hand at the moment so I ripped these out. Also if anyone needs parts from a 04 V70 Ruby/Tan NA please let me know cause we're probably scrapping/donating it in about 2 weeks.
