Hi Buddy

I have been using one one my 97 S70 with SC805 for the past couple of months. Quite happy with it so far, not perfect but pretty good. Ist thing I DIDN'T notice is that the main unit is Honda compatible and you need ot buy an extra adapter lead for the Volvo so had to wait a couple of extra weeks on the lead arriving.With it being Honda specific then it displays "Honda" on the ipod when connected, no real issue for me as mine is in the glove box but may be if the Ipod is on display in a holder.

One thing I have noticed is when skipping through the tunes it starts to play the song and then after a second or two it starts again form the begining.

All in all I am very happy with it and think it is much better than some of the alternatives out there.

If you do buy one can I get a copy of the instructions as the fitter I used has lost them!!

Cheers

Bob

T'internet is a wonderful thing! Can't help thinking I might have paid my mortage off by now if I didn't have it.
