Hi everyone,
I own a 2020 Volvo XC40 R-Design Hybrid (PHEV) equipped with the Sensus infotainment system and the older digital instrument cluster. I've been wondering if it's possible to retrofit the newer Android Automotive OS (AAOS) system—both the center infotainment screen and the fully digital driver's display—like those found in the 2022+ models (Recharge).
Has anyone here attempted this kind of upgrade?
Is there any known compatibility between the Sensus hardware and the newer AAOS modules (screens, software, wiring, etc.)?
Would it require major ECU or wiring changes, or is there a plug-and-play solution available somewhere?
I’d really appreciate any insights, experiences, or guidance from someone who’s tried this or looked into it. Even partial upgrades or custom retrofit projects would be helpful to hear about!
Thanks in advance!
