I don't own an xc90 nor do I play someone who does on TV. The imiv only works with MELBUS vehicles and your entertainment system is MOST.

If on newer xc90's the sat ready is integral to the system then you're probably out of luck. If it is an accessory, and I think it is for MY 05+, I would think that it should work on your vehicle--try your favorite dealer.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no aftermarket solution yet for the XC90/MOST except for the Dension adapter which you can find more info about by google searching this forum for "dension" and "xc90." It was highly touted, I don't know if it has lived up to its expectations.

While MOST is highly standardized, its front end is closed off to the consumer and aftermarket for the most part.

Sorry. I keep forgetting to take pics.

But my solution was the Denison Gateway 500 unit, into which I plugged an external Sirius unit into the Aux input.

I used the discontinued Sirius Starbase because it has the smallest display I could find. I took apart the dash, removed the cubby thingy below the stock stereo, trimmed the trim just a bit, and installed the control unit there, with the base unit located under the driver's seat.

It turned out pretty slick, I think.

Oh, and the antenna I just slid up into the same panel of the rear roof where our stock antenna is located (under the plastic part of the roof).

Looks to be a new option for MOST fiber systems to get an aux input for satellite...cheaper than the Dension unit too...
