Wire in a new radio

Crux's SWRVL-54 interface ensures that you can keep the steering wheel audio controls and the factory speaker system in your Volvo when you replace the factory radio. Connect this interface to the wires on your new stereo's wiring harness, and you've covered the power, ground, and factory speaker connections for your new stereo.

You'll only be able to retain your steering wheel audio controls with a compatible car stereo made by Alpine, Boss, Blaupunkt, Clarion, Dual, Jensen, JVC, Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony or Soundstream. No other brands are currently compatible.

Features

Volvo Radio Replacement Interface: The CRUX SWRVL-54 is a radio replacement interface for select 1999-2012 Volvo vehicles. It facilitates the integration of an aftermarket radio to enable retention of select factory features when replacing a factory installed radio in select Volvo cars. This interface is also pre-programmed for retention of steering wheel controls.

Compatibility: The CRUX SWRVL-54 is supported by the following 1999-2012 Volvo vehicles.

Make Model  Year
Volvo S40 2001-2004
S60 1999-2009
S80 1999-2005
V40 2001-2004
V70* 2001-2007
XC70* 2001-2007
XC90** 2002-2012

Notes:

  • *Compatible with CAN based vehicles only (2nd Generation / Type P26).
  • **Not compatible with LIN bus and Fiber-optic systems; please verify prior to installation.

For Amplified and Non-Amplified Applications: The CRUX SWRVL-54 can be used in vehicles with or without a factory amplified audio system. The SWRVL-54 will retain the factory amplifier with fader capability and turn-on.

Steering Wheel Control Retention: The CRUX SWRVL-54 comes pre-programmed to retain the factory steering wheel controls in your vehicle. Two steering wheel control (SWC) harnesses are included. The SWC harness (Option A) consists of a right-angle 3.5mm connector and blue/yellow wire; you'll only use the connection type your aftermarket radio is equipped with. The SWC harness (Option B) consists of only a right-angle 3.5mm connector. There is also steering wheel control (SWC) adapter for aftermarket radios with a 3-wire steering wheel control input. The SWRVL-54 will work with any of the listed aftermarket radio brands that feature a steering wheel control input using the appropriate harness, connector, and dip-switch settings (see owner's manual for appropriate settings).

  • 3.5mm Connector (A): Alpine and Clarion
  • 3.5mm Connector (B): Sony, Pioneer, Jensen, Dual
  • Blue/Yellow Wire: Kenwood and JVC
  • 3-Wire Adapter: Other aftermarket radios (like Boss) with SWC Key 1, SWC Key 2, and SWC Ground wires

Navigation Outputs: The CRUX SWRVL-54 radio replacement interface module provides a VSS (vehicle speed sense) and a Reverse Gear output to make installing an aftermarket Navigation radio simpler and less time consuming.

Q
This says at the top its compatible and is what's offered when I try to purchase a stereo but when I looked into the details my car year is not listed. It's a 2006 s80, the details say 1999-2005 for the s80, will this work with my car or not?

The official compatibility listing from CRUX is for 1999-2005 Volvo S80. However, we have found through our own research that it also works for 2006 Volvo S80.

Hi, sounds like the perfect solution to mount my new Android radio in my 2004 XC70 with original HU603 radio with additional 6CD-changer in the cargo. However, upon answering the compatibility questions, it seem not a fit....:-( Which part would not work? I already made conversion cables from the original connectors of the HU603 which I scrapped. Only need Reverse, Dash illumination and steering wheel controls excluding the standard phone which has been removed as well. Thank you

I see a note about this is only compatible with CAN based vehicles only which should be the 2nd Generation / Type P26 type. While I don't have a listing of the exact reason we list this as not working in the 2004 and prior year models, it must be due to finding that those vehicles did not have this system in it.

Your Volvo is not in the list of vehicles that are compatible with this wiring interface. Also, we were not able to get our hands on a 2008 Volvo FH to check which wiring interfaces can work in it and recommend that you consult a local installer for help in finding the correct wiring to install a radio

You will want to contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat to discuss compatibility with your factory system. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and see if this will integrate. If it does not, then they will also be able to discuss other options with you.

How does this connect to Kenwood units? All instructions say to use the blue/grey wire but none say how to actually attach it to the unit.
