🔰 Wireless CarPlay & Android Auto Retrofit Kit for Volvo Sensus Systems (2011–2022) Full Screen Integration Module

🧭 Product Overview

Transform your luxury vehicle with this premium Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto Integration Module. It is custom-engineered specifically for Volvo models equipped with Sensus and Sensus Connect systems (2011–2022). Basically, this unit is a hidden interface box that installs seamlessly behind your dashboard, utilizing your existing factory screen to display a modern smartphone interface.

Furthermore, this system provides a tailored upgrade depending on your original screen type:

• For 5-inch & 7-inch Screens: It completely adds Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities to older vehicles that never had these features from the factory.

• For 9-inch Vertical Screens: It completely eliminates the frustrating “half-screen” factory limitation, upgrading your existing wired CarPlay to a glorious, edge-to-edge Wireless Full-Screen experience.

Consequently, it solves the main issue of these vehicles: restricted factory app permissions and outdated navigation. At the same time, it perfectly preserves all original car information and interior design because nothing on the dashboard is physically altered.

🚗 Vehicle Compatibility & Engine Trim Levels

This unit is specifically designed for a wide range of Volvo vehicles (2011–2022) across the main platforms:

• P3 Platform (5-inch & 7-inch Horizontal Screens): V40, S60, V60, XC60, V70, XC70, S80 (2011-2018)

• SPA / CMA Platforms (9-inch Vertical Screens): XC90, S90, V90, XC60, S60, V60, XC40 (2016-2022)

• ✔ Supported Powertrains (Gas, Diesel & Hybrid): It is fully compatible with all engine configurations. This includes the standard T4, T5, and T6 turbocharged/supercharged models. Furthermore, it perfectly supports the high-performance plug-in hybrids like the T8 Twin Engine (Recharge / PHEV), as well as the D4/D5 diesels and the modern B4/B5/B6 mild-hybrid variants.

• ✔ Supported Trim Lines: Momentum, Inscription, R-Design, and Polestar Engineered.

• ✔ OEM Fitment: The module is completely hidden behind the center console. Therefore, it creates a 100% factory appearance with absolutely zero visual changes.

• ✔ Audio Support: It routes high-quality audio seamlessly. (Important Note: It supports standard AUX inputs and includes a dedicated USB-to-AUX Sound Adapter for modern models that lack a physical 3.5mm headphone jack, ensuring flawless integration with Bowers & Wilkins or Harman Kardon systems).

💡 Why Upgrade to a Retrofit Integration Kit

The factory Volvo Sensus systems have notable limitations, especially regarding smartphone integration. However, this hidden retrofit kit provides massive modern benefits depending on your model:

• Adds Modern Tech to 5″ & 7″ Screens: If you have an older P3 platform Volvo without CarPlay, this module instantly adds Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto. You can navigate using Google Maps and listen to Spotify on your original factory screen.

• Full-Screen Upgrade for 9″ Vertical Screens: If your SPA Volvo has the 9-inch portrait screen, the factory CarPlay is wired and only utilizes the bottom half of the display. This module bypasses that restriction, giving you 100% Full-Screen Wireless CarPlay, maximizing map visibility and granting full app permissions.

• 100% Factory Look & Data Retention: You do not have to replace your original screen. Thus, your Volvo keeps its classic styling and all original car menus.

• Dual System Operation: You can easily switch between the original Volvo menu and the new CarPlay system simply by holding down a factory button.

🔧 OEM Replacement Reference

This unit is an Integration Module, meaning the factory Volvo screen and radio hardware remain perfectly untouched in the dashboard.

• Replaces OEM Display: NO. Your original factory screen is 100% retained and utilized.

• Wiring Compatibility: It includes the standard Volvo Plug-and-Play intercept harnesses. Additionally, it seamlessly bridges the factory video signal to inject the CarPlay interface.

⚙️ Key Features (CarPlay, Android Auto & Connectivity)

• Dual Display Optimization: Custom firmware ensures the interface is perfectly scaled. It looks natural on standard 5″ or 7″ horizontal screens, and automatically expands to fill the massive 9″ vertical displays without stretching.

• Processing Power: The module is driven by a high-speed automotive chip. Consequently, it delivers lightning-fast CarPlay performance without any lag.

• Lossless Audio Transmission: The kit includes a high-fidelity USB Sound Card Adapter. As a result, audio is transmitted perfectly through the Volvo’s USB data port, maintaining deep bass and clear vocals.

• Wireless Connectivity: Enjoy an instant Cable-Free Connection for smartphones via built-in 5.0GHz WiFi.

• Original Knob Control: You can use the factory center console scroll knobs and buttons to navigate the CarPlay menus.

• Screen Mirroring: It fully supports AirPlay (iOS) and Android Mirroring. For example, you can cast YouTube videos from your phone to the car screen while parked.

🔩 Seamless OEM Integration (Zero Data Loss)

• Complete Original Information Retention: Upgrading to this module means you lose nothing. Your Climate Controls (AC), Maintenance Reminders, TPMS (Tire Pressure), Hybrid Battery Status (for T8/Recharge models), and Vehicle Settings remain exactly as they were from the factory.

• Steering Wheel Controls (SWC): The system fully retains your steering wheel volume and track-skip buttons. Therefore, controlling your music feels completely natural.

• Factory Camera Retention: If equipped, the system automatically supports your OEM Factory Backup Camera, 360-Degree Surround View Cameras, and original parking sensors. The screen will instantly switch to the camera view when shifting into reverse.

🛠️ Installation Notes

• Harness Type: Plug-and-Play Volvo specific T-harness connectors.

• Audio Connection: For cars without a physical AUX port (most 2015+ models), you will plug the included USB-to-AUX Sound Adapter into the car’s original USB port under the armrest. You then select “USB” as your audio source in the factory Volvo media menu to hear the CarPlay sound.

• Mounting: The compact aluminum box easily tucks away behind the factory radio or under the passenger seat/carpet area. Thus, no cutting or permanent modification is required.
