XC90 in car entertainment system - fitting instructions by vickyb4

Hi, I have a 55 XC90, bought the headrest entertainment system (player goes in boot) but it does not seem to be working properly- keep getting no signal - have a 2nd AV connection that plays the playstation through it fine! I bought it from a Volvo garage (not a main dealer) who are being less than helpful. No installation guide came with it, I have had a very experienced Auto electrician look and attempt installation but still not working! Does anybody know where I can get an installation guide from so that we can double check that before 'presuming' the system is faulty!! The screens came already fitted inreplacement headrest - VOLVO 10disc DVD player in boot. Remote control has also been tested.
 
Somebody please help!!

Don't know what system you have, but the factory authorized dealer installed system has the dvd players in each of the headrests.
Obviously, you have some aftermarket system which is being touted as Volvo compatible. Volvo's have weird electrical systems and a lot of aftermarket stuff doesn't work well with it.
If your garage can't make this work, I'd have them pull it out,refund your money and then go to a dealer.

Hi, unfortunately I don't have a recommendation to your issue but I'm hoping you or anyone else can tell me how to get the audio from the rear entertainment system to come through the car audio system, we can't seem to be able to figure it out and we have two infants that are not old enough to use headphones.
 
Thanks to anyone that can provide help.
 
Regards.

I have a similar problem. Though I think Caillou is a lot more whiny and annoying to listen to!
 
My 3-yr old is now not adverse to wearing headphones, but surprise -- the headphones from VOLVO are WAY too big!
 
Who the heck designed this system anyway? Duh - your demographic is kids. Make the headphones fit smaller sized heads.
 
So now my problem is how to get my kid's "monkey"-wired headphones to attach to VOLVO's fantastic DVD system. Any ideas?
 
I like your idea of including a small radio in the back seat tuned to the program. Then I could plug the headphones into that!

2005 XC 90 Rear Entertainment Problem by rcrx

I have the MB8000 in headrest system. The screens would light up and display the 8000 in the upper section of each screen. I moved the "cable that runs from the center console to the DVD box" and it blew the fuse in the right rear luggage compartment. I found the "cable that runs from the center console to the DVD box" to be nearly severed. (Not sure how it worked at all) I replaced the "cable" with a $105.00 factory replacement from the local dealer and not able to even get the screens to light up now. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Headrest Screen by carquestionsts

The screen in the headrest DVD player was damaged. The DVD player is working fine we just want to replace the screen. Dealer wants to replace whole unit for $$$$. Anyone know where to get just the screen that is compatible.

2008 XC90 DVD Entertainment Question by cdgodfrey
Nov 27, 2009 (7:22 pm)

I have a 2008 Volvo XC90 with the DVD Entertainment in each headrest (from the factory). It's frustrating to me because my 20 month olds don't want to wear headphones, nor do I really want them to. The only way I've been able to find to play through the car stereo is through the FM modulator, which sounds like crap. I called the Volvo dealership where I bought the car and they seem to know nothing about the entertainment system. Is there a way to play the DVD's directly through the car stereo (using the AUX jack or another method) without using the FM modulator? This is my biggest complaint about the car...
