Question about installing nav, bluetooth and iPod adapters in an S60
Hello to all!
I know this may sound like an ambitious plan but I'd like to include custom nav, Bluetooth and iPod functionality in my 2002 S60 AWD!
First, the car has the HU-613 head unit. As to navigation, Necvox of Taiwan is selling an integrated motorized 6.5" touchscreen with a GPS nav unit and software that would fit where the OEM screen would go (I'd just have to get the appropriate grill/bracket/center speaker from Volvo). As for iPod, I know I can get an IMIV. As for Bluetooth, I was told in a separate post I can use the Volvo/Motorola kit and a Volvo wiring harness (I'm unclear as to the specific kit and harness if anyone can help). My end result would be to have the nav unit "speak" through the radio (Necvox includes a speaker too but I'd prefer not to have to use it), have the iPod (actually, an iPhone) work through the system and display properly on the radio display (I understand there's an IMIV issue with iPhone video and that's not a dealbreaker for me) and to have seamless Bluetooth integration where I hit a button to answer a call and it works thru the radio/speakers.
That's as much as I can tell everyone. Any idea if my plan is feasible or is it pie in the sky? Let me know if more information is needed to make a determination.
Thanks,
Steve
