Retrofit RTI screen

[HBall]

Has anyone retro-fitted the RTI screen in any volvo, pref a V70 P2 of course?

Keen to stick it on the dash and mainly use it as a rear-view camera monitor

It'll probably cost you more than a new hi def one with all the trimmings, just to have the gen volvo one programmed to work in your car mate.

it's not so much the satnav I want - just the nice screen that goes up and down :)

LOL!

the control method is poo too - no touch screen!

Lol, a valid point, you gotta have something to do once you've got bored of all 4 windows.

You should get yourself a boost gauge, hours of entertainment to be had there lol.

I wouldn't want mine touch screen. It's a stretch with the left hand to reach when driving, apart from being dangerous! The screen would also get dirty. I like the controls on the steering wheel...means you can play on the move without leaning forwards and mucking about. Nowt wrong with the control method, IMHO. Just a shame it doesn't do postcodes, thou with the up to date discs it's pretty damn spot on, every time!

One of my suppliers got himself a fully loaded XC90 and he showed me the RTI thing... A joystick/keypad remote control? now using that on the move would be dangerous lol, besides, don't they all say you shouldn't operate the nav while driving? mine won't even display a map until I promise not to use it while moving.
There's no fingerprints on it too - I wipe my chocolate-y fingers on the cream leather first pmsl

I have the hand held remote control. It is intended for use by the front passenger. The driver uses the column control.

Still looks like a faff lol ;)

Trying to type an address via the steering wheel buttons... I suppose you get used to it. I prefer tapping the postcode in on the screen - and that's another thing - the screen size on the Volvo unit is a bit small too.

I have the rear view camera fitted with the IMIv iPod classic that works with the volvo sat nav,must say it works very well can now park within 1 inch I do get some funny looks that almost say how did you stop that close and not hit that.

Too small? Are you blind? Its about 6" wide fella. How much bigger do you need it?

Call me a victim of these modern times, the bigger the screen the better imho, unless you're watching porn in 3D, then you'll be diving for cover...

There speaks the voice of experience. :lol:

I agree its crap. Hardly use mine. My old st tdci have the denso sat nav. Touch screen voice control. Light years ahead of the rti. Screen was bigger to.

I actually liked the RTI in my C70, I think it operates the same as the V70 with the controls behind the steering wheel, I found it really easy and accurate to use. I don't know why Jeremy Clarkson thinks it's a awful system. If you want a crap one buy a hilux my dad's touch screen is fiddly and as Lee says it's a real stretch to operate.
