Hey there, I was wondering if I could ask a question I haven’t seen here in the comments yet, I’m aware that the Volvo s60 R is a very different car from the base model S60 2.5t, however, I’m interested in installing the gauge cluster from the R into my base S60. Is there any gleaming problems that would stick out? Or would I be ok just throwing it in?

I hadn't a chance to experience any service from the company because they just refused to provide it without any consent from my side. It is a very frustrating order processing, where after a payment you can wait up to 3 days until you get the shipping label fr which you have paid. I submitted my payment for the test service, as well for the shipping. I received a conformation email, that the payment succeeded. There were no other instructions in the email. I tried to call them, but it was a Saturday and they didn't answer. I wrote an email, they didn't answer as well. Despite the sipping price was about $40, I payed $60. First on Tuesday noon i received the label by email. I wrote right away that I already shipped the item and asked then for a refund for one way shipping. Instead of doing it, they requested more money from me! It was just $16! I told them that the sum is not significant to me. I value time more than money. If they want I can pay the company for its own failure. On the next day I received an email from the general manager who probably was insulted and he told me that they refuse to test my DME and will send me it back. So, I spent $60 and 2 weeks of my time for nothing. Thank you very much XeMODeX!

I have spots on the plexiglass screen covering the instrument cluster. I have C70. I tried speaking the outside of the screen but they won't come off. Could it be on the inside of the screen? How could I remove just the screen and clean it?

@evanelliott7787 says:

Once again a great video from xemodex thank you so much

@freshsolis8739 says:

Do the miles stay the same?

@suffolkngood says:

Hi XeMODex.
Thanks for a great instructive video.
Can I just ask why do you not recommend driving the vehicle without the module in place ?
I have a sat nav to show my speed whilst it will be repaired.

@Visionery1 says:

Great video! It looks like replacing the transparent cover on the binnacle is also straightforward, mine is dusty or has hairline cracks, it all seems to be on the inside. Would this be the same basic procedure on a 2010 XC90 3.2?

@AstroDK says:

Just installed a xemodex pre programmed instrument cluster for my 2004 xc70. The installation process was simple and the cluster so far as been working amazing. Finally I can see how much gas I have!

@krisr1885 says:

Should you unplug the battery before doing this?

@BB-ug1ch says:

That was great !

@mrwilfredmyers7566 says:

Thank you for your helpfull video. Those bits of plastic are so fagile. Especialy over time.

@rolle6515 says:

Thx for the video! 🙂

@absolutedynamite4979 says:

For those who focused on battery terminal removal, did you remove just the negative cable or both?
