In addition to the good weather and the bad weather, the good weather for the car spring shows. Also my Volvo dealer has a party over the weekend. Sure I wanted to see the V8 in peace and listen. Test drive? No, unfortunately not possible. But then, the big boss greets me friendly and after a chat I hold the key for the V8 in hands! G***! The car sounds good outside but not effectually. I roll quite cautiously with the XC90 from the yard, only a quiet purr can be heard. At the exit to the main road then the first experience – the gas pedal only gently stroked and the giant wheel is lined up. No memorial minute like my D5. Innerorts with 50 to 60 km/h the giant glides wonderfully silently. Then on the highway feeder – let’s see what the box has on it. Kickdown, the automatic switches back immediately. At the first moment nothing happens, but then the V8 starts and gets excitedly into the stuff. In the hand turn the whole sound clearly.

Volvo XC90 PUV – Moose logo
Moin together, the photos of the XC90 PUV were really breathtaking, just, I wonder: Where can you buy this awesome moose logo?? Any idea? I’m tempted to ask a local screen printer about it…. First of all, best regards Jonanive

Experience with retrofitted navigators?
Hello Elchgemeinde! I need your help! I would like to experience your experience with later built-in navigation devices! My previous, loyal companion “Petra-, (so we called ours, “old lady, Becker Traffic Pro 4720”), has said goodbye forever. They don’t release the CDs any more. So I have to buy something new. My favorites are so far: Becker TP 7945 Bluatooth (should be a super device but unfortunately no color screen) I was so happy with Becker seeeeeeehhhhhrrrrrr. Pioneer AVIC-X1 (software from Teleatlas should not be so good?) Already a great thing with extendable screen, TMC, DVD navigation, etc. Maybe someone of you has already had experience with these devices. Could one ever install an RTI, or something comparable aftertaste? Greet Barna

Mainland XC90 not “England”-suitable…
I read in my daily newspaper yesterday that Volvo has failed to make the xenon headlights of the left-hand handlebar versions of the XC90 “England” suitable (i.e. you can neither adjust the pig thrower direction nor stick off the angle as it would be necessary in right-hand traffic countries) In England, therefore, you must not use light with a mainland XC90 (there is a protocoll).

Vmax XC90D5 (old)
After some (one?) angered about the limitation of the XC90D5 with the 163hp machine, here are my (first) experiences: I thought so far that XC70 and 90 did not differ according to the drive, but the transmission of the XC90 must be different, because at the same speed different speeds exist!? The XC70 drove max. 212km/h in 5th gear at (limited) 4.250U/min. The XC90 only achieves 195km/h at the same speed (also limited)! So if you want to be faster than the 195 on the road (also downhill), you have to look for a tuner that lifts up the Vmax limit!? Greeting Martin Dem the 195!

Why I like to ride a station wagon.
How a V70 can save as opposed to an S60 project dates: Today my blacks once again “abused” as a vice. I love combos! Greetings, Dirk

Installation Tom Tom Go
Hello Moose friends, I have a Tom Tom Go 700 and find the cable connection extremely unsightly and therefore think about a fixed installation. From Tom Tom there is a complete set with connection to the radio and the light switch. Has anyone already planned the installation in a V 70 MY 2004? I would be happy about tips.

Puuh, it’s done! Thank you all
So yesterday it was time for me as well. I signed and ordered a beautiful XC90. Many thanks to all who helped me with my questions or who are/were involved in the interesting threads. I hope that I can sleep quietly for the first time again a few days. Greetings Leif

XC 90 New Car I-Pod Usage
XC 90 First registration 01.06.2006, I-Pod usage impossible !! How can it be possible that you can not connect an I Pod to the radio? Even the best and easiest solution: via AUX input > Headphone jack at the I-Pod should not work lt Volvo. At 60 000 € in the full version you can demand that! MFG fredebri
