Volvo To Carry Sirus Satellite Radio

Ian Bell By

Sirius is now available as an exclusive dealer-installed accessory in the following 2005 model year Volvo vehicles.

  • Volvo S80
  • Volvo S60
  • Volvo V70
  • Volvo XC70

    These Volvo vehicles come with factory-equipped radios that are SIRIUS-ready, and display artist, song title and category when playing SIRIUS. To facilitate dealer installations, Volvo also offers a pre-wire solution as a factory installed option. To obtain SIRIUS service, the dealer must install a SIRIUS receiver and antenna. Pricing is available at local Volvo dealerships.

    When customers purchase the Volvo SIRIUS Satellite Radio kit, have it installed, and pre-pay $142.45 for 11-months of service at $12.95 per month, they will automatically receive 13 months of SIRIUS service, or two additional months at no extra cost. Plus, for a limited time only, Volvo will reimburse customers for the full cost of the subscription. This offer applies to Volvo SIRIUS Satellite Radio kits purchased from March 1 to May 31 of this year.

    SIRIUS is also expected to be available in additional Volvo vehicles in the near future.

  1. Greg at 9:33pm 26th May 2006 I am not postive, but is it possible to have satelite radio in the 2006 s40?
  2. Bob tab at 10:39am 1st March 2006 I have a 2005 S60R and even though i paid for the $65 prewiring up front the dealer wants $650.00 to integrate satellite radio into the system. Is there any other way to avoid these high costs other than purchasing an external satellite receiver and needing to run a wire outsie the car for an antenna mount?
  3. Wayne Merk at 7:38pm 9th January 2006 I too am looking for a solution to install Sirius in my 2004 XC90. I was told by Crutchfield that I could get a small unit that would go between the back of the factory radio and the Factory fiber optic antenna. It is almost like a splitter, and when the satellite is running that will be inputed in to the radio directly. Is this possible and what other options are available.

    Thank you
  4. Sam Kettani at 1:15pm 21st December 2005 Is there a solution to connect "direct" modulator for the satellite radio (XM or Sirius) to the Volvo XC 90? I am having a challenge to connect the satellite radio with the Volvo's manufacturer radio using hardwiring FM connection. All the connection are fiber optic and there is no adaptor.
  5. Terry Silva at 6:21pm 10th November 2005 I am interested in getting satellite radio in my new 2005 volvo xc 70 wagon. It is prewired so I told. I paid the extra $65.00 for the feature. Any ideas without going through the dealership ?
  6. Ian Bell and Dan Gaul at 11:02am 31st August 2005 Most likely you will have to use an FM modulator product unless the S40 comes with the wiring harness you need (satellite ready).
  7. Walter Conway at 10:06am 31st August 2005 Can Sirius be installed in Volvo S40 2005
