I an really trying to like the M35, but that arse end is so ugly. If someone was to make adecent rear lights kit, like was done for Commonwhores, I may be tempted. Front and side, AOK, but...........

I have bBenny,s pic as my desktop.

Actually, if you have a decent looking rear muffler and drop the car ~25mm.... the rear can look alright.

If you don't like the Volvo lights, just get a reflector cover kit (Yahoo Auctions/Import Monster) or take the whole light of and paint it yourself.

Here is a 2002 Axis with top reflector covers

And here is the Pond M35 rear... rear bumper and full reflector cover kit.

Nissan made the arse end like that just to keep the cops off my back. Works a treat, even with a 3 inch straight through exhaust.

Just gotta get some Volvo badges for the back and I will be in the clear.

You could always paint the top part of the lights to match the car...

;) .... for now

I've noticed that a lot (possibly all?) M35's have the stereo controls moulded into the centre console set up as opposed to the old swappable DIN system.

I'm assuming the radio frequency range still cuts out too low on the FM band like other imports.

What are the options for replacing the stereo?

What do most people do?

Andrew, if you do not want the integrated setup that you have seen in the ARX, get an RS.

You will be hard pressed to find an RS with all the goodies, but it is the only option without the integrated unit.

RX, ARX and Axis al have the integrated unit and all RS's have the separate Clarion unit with 3 gauge DIN.

I am sure that you can always change the headunit over and connect it up with the integrated unit though.

OK

Is there a common work-around or fix for the radio in the integrated unit?

V35 FAQ

See what Chris has posted regarding the BOSE unit. I presume it is the same for the standard integrated headunit, but maybe fire him off a PM to make sure what is involved in changing it.

Cool. Thanks.

Yes, no, yes.

Upgraded front bar on it's way, as is the bonnet... and I have the lights that you do so love.

I bet you have every thing crossed that it will all line up this time....LOL :)

i know where there is a PM35 we can get the parts from cam :ph34r:

Nah, dark blue is not my colour....

Besides Ben was willing to sell be a PM35 bonnet, but the price was NOT right.

I bet you have every thing crossed that it will all line up this time....LOL :rant:

It will. The bonnet was the only issue.......... :) ...... I hope......

    • It doesn't really answer your question...but is the head unit full android or just android auto, are you happy with how quickly it boots and responds, and do you have a link?  If we can identify good Android alternatives it will really help people stuck with Japanese screens. Did it have a separate reverse camera input so you would replace the factory one, or are you just going without now...that would be a pretty big steps back. And finally, do you have a picture of the "wire" that you can't plug in? Most likely it is some sort of aerial that is not too important eg japanese traffic or am radio or something if you haven't noticed a functionality issue
    • haha funny enough I did ask him wtf he had been up to with the electrics....but no answer
    • For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.
    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
