All,
Just wondering what people have added to their XC40's after buying them and how it has worked out.
So far I have only purchased a wireless Apple CarPlay adaptor which seems to be working really well, I have a built in wireless system in our other car it compares well with that, the only difference being a slight lag but unless you are forever changing tracks, it will probably not be an issue.
I also fitted the luggage net from our Tiguan which fits fine bit with the clever boot floor of the XC40 , it is not really required.
Best/most useful aftermarket accessory.

Cheaper direct from dealer. Less than £4 each including VAT. Reasonably easy to self fit.

If you're referring to the sunglasses holder, that was from a Volvo dealer.

Sorry. Confused. Thought you said from eBay?

Pjm007, the Volvo list price is £50. I've not asked my local parts department. But if you got one for £4, it was the deal of the century!

Good deal but not to that extent. The £50 price includes fitting. The c.£4 price is fit it yourself. A previous thread discussed this
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1852&hilit=Sunglasses#p16026
Several useful tips in there re. fitting. By the way, it does fit cars with the panoramic sunroof despite the disclaimer.
Mark123 & Bernard Bernardsson originally flagged the DIY deal price, and that was at a time when the £50 fitted price was reduced to £25 on offer.
