Aerpro SWVL4C Volvo XC90 2002 to 2013 SWC Interface MOST 25 Fibre Optic

Aerpro SWVL4C Steering Wheel Control Interface for Volvo XC90 2002 to 2013 MOST 25 Fibre Optic System

The Aerpro SWVL4C is a CAN-Bus and MOST 25 fibre optic steering wheel control interface for the Volvo XC90 (2002 to 2013), allowing the fitment of an aftermarket head unit while retaining the factory steering wheel controls, parking chimes, and reverse camera. It connects via a vehicle-specific plug with no wire cutting required and includes two MOST loops for camera retention and amplifier bypass.

Product overview

The SWVL4C is engineered specifically for Volvo XC90 vehicles equipped with the MOST 25 fibre optic system, covering the 2002 to 2013 model year range. The interface retains the OEM steering wheel controls, parking sensor chimes, and reverse camera feed when an aftermarket head unit is installed. It provides output feeds for reverse trigger, park brake, and speed pulse, and supports the OEM phone button when paired with a compatible aftermarket Bluetooth head unit.

Two MOST loops are included to retain the factory camera and bypass the amplifier where fitted. Vehicles equipped with a CD changer may require an additional MOST loop (model MOSTLOOP, sold separately). To retain the factory middle display, the interface should be connected to the steering wheel control module and concealed behind the dash.

Aerpro recommends installation alongside an APP8 Headunit Secondary ISO Harness, sold separately. Note that the battery must be disconnected prior to removing the factory head unit. Failure to do so may trigger an engine warning light that requires clearing by a Volvo repair agent using a scan tool.

Features and benefits

Steering wheel control retention: Maintains full use of the factory steering wheel controls after fitting an aftermarket head unit, keeping hands on the wheel and eyes on the road during operation.

MOST 25 fibre optic and CAN-Bus interface: Designed specifically for Volvo XC90 vehicles running the MOST 25 fibre optic network, ensuring correct communication between the aftermarket head unit and the vehicle's factory systems.

OEM reverse camera retention: Retains the factory reverse camera feed through the aftermarket head unit without additional adaptors.

Parking chime retention: Preserves factory parking sensor chimes so audible proximity alerts continue to function after the head unit upgrade.

OEM phone button support: The factory phone button remains active when the interface is connected to a compatible aftermarket Bluetooth head unit.

Reverse trigger, park brake and speed pulse outputs: Provides dedicated output feeds for reverse trigger (purple/white), park brake (green), and speed pulse (pink) to support aftermarket head unit features that rely on these signals.

Vehicle-specific plug fitment: Connects via a vehicle-specific plug so no wire cutting or splicing is required for installation.

Includes two MOST loops: Two MOST loops are supplied to retain the factory camera and bypass the amplifier where fitted. Vehicles with a CD changer may need an additional MOSTLOOP unit, sold separately.
