Added these mods recently.
Volvo C30 aluminum sport pedals
Brass shifter bushings for the shifter cables, definite recommend.
Antenna delete plug w/ hideaway antenna
Auto tilt module for parallel parking
Built a relay pack for radio and Ipod to stay on till door is opened
finished result
Memory automatic shutoff for STC/traction control
Added additional factory amplifier for bridged operation. Increases power from 4x100 to 4x320 according to Alpine's specs from the MRV-F400S. Make DIN adapter, and run new power wire to battery for install. Amplifier can be mounted on factory bracket if changer brackets are removed. Will upgrade the amp to the center channel when I find one I like. No other wiring other than a short ground wire is necessary.
converted antenna down switch to access between cd changer and Ipod.
Finished more prewiring, not done, but bench tested functional. This will allow for start/shutdown with a single button. Key can still be used, but unnecessary.
Update: 6/09/09, fired it up in the coupe, system works as it should, only time will tell if their are any quirky bugs in the setup.
Temporary location, Key position 0, Lock LED lit
Position II, Key sense, Ign, and both Acc wires energized, engine not running
Will try to post a video soon in use, but my heater core just started leaking. On the plus side, there was no carpet in the vehicle to get damaged.
Daytime photos, those night time ones looked terrible.
