Well sent off a sample swatch of leather to liquid leather for them to match it for some of there leather dye.
So they should have the colour in the list soon,Volvo V70R 2006 Nordkap (dark blue)
Sent the sample off on Monday and Recived the dye Friday very quick service.
Will use it when the weather warms up, as you do need to wash the seats down and they do need to dry out before you use the dye.

Hi Harvey.
Great pictures (thanks) but I need to ask some things.
I too have the iMIV classic and I am due to get the Volvotech module.
Firstly, where does the Volvotech plug in? I'm really confused about this. Secondly, I see you have the camera for the iMIV. Did you buy it form iMIV.ca and if so, did the green plug come already pre built, so all you had to do was plug it in? Or, did you (like me) get a small bag of bits, consisting of green plug and metal wire terminals to make up the plug yourself?
How does the Volvotech module integrate with the iMIV mate?

Thanks,CFE canbus box comes with a splitter cable (if you order it I think you get to choose from 3 types of cable )and all you do is unplug the canbus plug from the sat nav DVD player plug the CFE lead into the sat nav DVD player then the cars canbus plug goes into the splitter cable it is very easy to do the hard bit was getting the planel off the side of the car and that is not to hard to do.
The imiv works fine with the CFE unit.

The lead in the left is the canbus lead with the green plugs ,the battery and short lead is used to power the box when prorgaming It,the lead rolled up is the USB lead.

The imiv box just plugs into the tv din socket that is on the back of the sat nav DVD player( note must be DVD no cd if I remember right.I have got the tv tuner in the car which I had to unplug as it's no good anymore because it's not free view box.

The camera I did get from imiv at the same time I got the kit ,but you do need to change the software on the imiv box as the screen will not come up when you select reverse gear until you do,also the screen picture is reversed until you cut the wire from the camera.
I have got it working but have not found a place to fit the camera that I am happy with you ,have seen the cameras that fit in the same place as the number plate lights but they won't work as they are NTSC not PAL units

The yellow bush does feel a bit softer than the Purple bushes are to me.

Dream car right there!

Well have got a ipd turbo control valve to fit didn't like the plastic fitting that came with it .

So when I found these ones after a bit of looking around had to have them . ( They do match the paintwork of the car )

They are anodised aluminium in blue same as IPD colour happy days.

**LeeT5** · Friday 28th March 2014, 18:01

Wow. Where did you get the blue fittings?
I used the brass ones from my old IPD TCV. The plastic ones are rubbish. Thought they would snap when trying to push vac hose onto them.

Just got home and had my HID slim kit waiting for me.
The kit is going into the fog lights which take H3 bulbs.

The colour of the bulbs are 4300K and are 35w bulbs the idea is to get them to match up with the headlights.

I did order some better bulbs (the middle ones in the picture )which have a steel base and ceramic insulator and looking at them they match up perfectly with the filament of the standard bulb , as "R" has the projection type foglight lens.
The bulb bottom in the picture is what came with the kit and the insulator is just plastic and of poor quality.

So this is one more job to get done at some point soon ,I think I will fit them at the same time I repair the intercooler as it needs a repair done then a bit of paint on it.
