Retrofit on XC60 T8 twin engine R-design 2018
#1
Hello everyone, I recently purchased a 2018 Volvo XC60 in R Design trim. 

The vehicle itself is very nice, especially with the air suspension. However, I'm disappointed with the limited equipment (equipment I thought was standard...). I've already ordered a rearview camera that I need to install. I'd like to know the following options and if anyone has already done so, or at least whether it's possible or not:
- HUD (knowing that I have a heated windshield) 
- keyless entry 
- 360° camera 
- BLIS 
- blind spot indicator in the mirrors 
If anyone knows where I can find the parts and wiring harnesses, I'd be very grateful. 

Sincerely, 

Quentin

All modifications/retrofits are possible, however, you will have to find all the necessary compatible hardware at car scrapyards.

Yes, all those are possible to retrofit. However, the question is does it worth the money and the time. 
You'll need to source cables, modules which are not easy to find good used ones. From dealer they are too expensive. 

Look for a car that has all the options and compare the price. BLISS and Keyless entry are pretty standard features. In fact, in USA we don't have a trim without those.

Hello and thank you for your answers. 

I started to do some figuring out but each time the problem I encounter is the connectors. The parts are easily found on sites like Ovoko, but for the harnesses it's more complicated. I can't find a topic or forum clearly indicating what is needed for the BLIS, the sound system and the keyless entry. For the 360 camera I saw that an additional box is needed but it's also difficult to find the harnesses that go from the boxes to the 4 cameras. The advantage of adding the BLIS is that often the 360 cameras are supplied with the rearview mirror so it's all the more interesting to do both at the same time.

If anyone has the diagrams and the reference of the harnesses to order I would be very grateful.
