Hi to you all, I have the R-Design d4. I thought it had a reversing camera but I got that wrong. I bought it from a dealer in Scotland, and had it Delivered to me in N/East London. And it was only after I'd taken delivery that I realised it didn't have reverse camera.
After a bit of research I found a nice enough kit that I can fit myself, trouble is the reverse light is inaccessible, so I decided to remove the cluster but have been thwarted.
If anyone has the knowhow to either locate the reverse light live feed in the boot or how the cluster is fixed in place it would help me enormously, please feel free to enlighten me about this matter,
Regards
Trev.K

Hi Trev.K - sounds like a fun project!

I think that when I fitted my tracker that the wires you need are under the right (or left) hand boot cover. Its a bit of a pig to get this off, but if you do it methodically its very manageable - just seems a lot to remove! If you follow the instructions here:

https://accessories.volvocars.com/en-us ... /XC40/2022

Steps 11-20 are the ones you need. There are also details further down about how to thread the camera wires thru the tailgate, if you need that for your kit.

I'd be interested to see the final write up when you have finished, as this one could be on my project list too!

All the best.

Did you not know the XC40 has a built in tracker from the factory. The Volvo On Call team can track the car if it is stolen and because it's built right into the car, there is no way for the thief to remove it like an after market unit.

Hi M@rk - Yes I was aware of that, but have read a few items on another volvo forum where people have had volvos stolen and the factory tracker was disabled by the thief easily removing the fuse. A belt & braces approach made me feel happier!
