2004 Volvo xc90 flipdown

Anybody have any tips for a new Volvo xc90 with a sunroof?? I plan on installing the new 9" Sony dream system. I heard there kind of tight in the roof are as fas as attaching the mounts? Also does this car hava a reg. ant plug as far as adding an Fm modulator? Last question.... any major concerms with all the airbags?

  Thanks in advance!

I have doen many of these volvo's. usually 10.4" and a seperate dvd player in the glove box.  It can be done with a little prep work.  here is how i tackle this one. 

1. take a 12x12  sheet of abs with the sony becasue the dvd is built in you might need a larger sheet ,  about an inch and a half for the edges drill a hole and drop and 1 1/4 inch bold through each hole,(one towards the front of the vehicle and one towards the rear. drill a hole in the center for your wires.            2. get a 1/2inch plywood i usually use the same size as abs plastic but you will proball use a little bigger on the plywood to help support the sony item.  drill the matching holes on that the same as abs so they will line up.  3. remove the trim around the sunroof  this will allow you to slide the abs in the headliner line it up as centered as possible . then drop the bolts through the headliner line up your plywood to the outside of the headliner and attach with the matching nuts. i usually put one screw towads the front be carefull try to go in one of the indintations so it wont hit the sunshade.

as far as air bags they are everywhere this thing could flot with all of those deployed.  i usually run the wires down the passanger side down the b pillar.

catching power couldnt be any easier. your arm rest slides outpull the lever and pull towards rear of car.you will see a panel covered in carpet it pulls up , once insde you will see a two harness plug. purple is ignition black is ground.you will want  catch a seperate ground though i have experinced engine noise through this ground. antnennas ...there is a adapter for this car but save your self the trouble  use  a wire less onewith mulit station selection audiovox makes a nice one that works out good for me. this cars bark is meaner then its bite any confident installer should have no problems with this vehicle.  there is also a problem with remotes interfearing with the factory radio remote , if this happens you can just pop the remote eye sensor off the radio its the BLACK/ clear panel on the lower left of the radio and just cover the ir sensors from inside blocking any interfearance  you will lose your wireless remote functions if you have that option, most volvos dont come with it you have to buy it seperate.  good luck

Thanks guys for the tips!

Do you think I should use a non all-in-one unit because of weight issues? I don't have the car in front of me yet, but just wondering if I end up going the abs route, will the monitor be stable enough? The sony has built is speakers & ir, so I'll probably just avoid the modulator all together. 

  Thanks again
