The VBB6 is for a different range of cars - IIRC you need the one matching the Volvo XC90, thus being the VBB4.

Yep, ended up ordering this- the volvo tech guys sent me the link to the correct page

SyudneySE : Volvotech have updated their website!!!

On the old site i was looking at model: VBB4-PP-VID-POW-MC (VIDEO BREAKIN BOX) (PLUG/PLAY VIDEO/POWER) MINI CAM

On the new site i think it is model: Reverse Camera Set (VBB4-PPVP)

HOWEVER!!!

The new site also shows another model: Reverse Camera Set (VBB6-PPVP)

But i cant see the difference in the product description!!

Anybody out there know the difference and which model is correct for AM Vantage MY06 & MY07

you still need the VBB4; had an email from the volvo tech guys- very helpful.

I just received my VBB4 etc on Friday (3 days ago) and will be installing it next week most likely (I also ordered the stainless steel stereo/joystick and heater knobs from PH member tony hall, as well as a new ski slope etc, so waiting for all the parts to arrive before i take things apart..)

SydneySE: Did you go for one camera or two?

Could you cut/paste the volvo tech link ?

Hi All

Following on from this thread I now have a forward camera fitted by James at Paralight no more worrying about scraping the front Carbon Splitter!!!!!!!!!!!!

Works fantastic and very well installed by James, so highly recommended as a solution to no front parking sensors.

choose XC90 and make a note that its for an AM DB9 (that was in an email to me from Bob at Volvotech; sure enought, when I received it, on the wiring loom for the box, once wire has a tag "not for use on aston martin" so it's very helpful!)

Like jeremy who originally posted, I ordered the 2nd camera from ebay:

Hey all,

Hope this isn't a dead thread, but in the off chance it isn't...

I'm interested in the VBB4 dual camera setup, so if anyone has installed this system and is listening...

(1) I understand you need a speed controller to have the screen automatically switch from the front camera to the nav display above a certain speed - what module is needed for this? where did you install it?
(2) If my nav screen is in the down position, I'd like to have it automatically pop up and show the rearview camera when I put the car into reverse - how do you accomplish? Is there another module needed or is it just a matter of wiring?
(3) Also, what's your experience with the kit? Do you like it? Would you do anything differently?

Thanks.
