I need some help. The infotainment system of my 2005 DB9 just stopped working. After a whole week-end searching I norrowed the problem down to the MOST fiber optic cable running from the boot of the car (coming from the phone module) to the TMC module.

I've bought new MOST FO cables, so I now want to connect these with the TMC and AM/FM modules, but I don't know how to reach them....I know they are located somewhere in the corner of the boot - right side, but do I reach them via the boot or do I reach them via the back passenger seats? Do I have to remove the side wall in the back of the seats do I have to remove the top shelf behind the back seats...??? I would be great if someone could help me a bit further...any ideas??

Apologies if this is too obvious, but have you removed the carpeted cover panel on the forward bulkhead of the boot? There's a bit of a bump-out that hides the amp & wiring (about 4 or 6 torx fasteners I think). With a bit more disassembly you can get even better access (remove the DVD face plate, then the other panels are held by snap on fir trees).

I did - they are not located there - if I follow the cables they must be on the right side of the boot or the cables pass through the bulkhead and they are located on the other side...

Ah well then, you're already deeper into it than I ever needed to be. The workshop manual shows the wiring diagram for those parts, but gives no clue about the physical location of the actual modules. Sounds like you've got a bit more exploratory dismantling ahead of you frown

Hi

Whilst doing some work with the rear offside arch liner removed I noticed a panel at the top with four bolts holding it. I had a look inside and there was a stacked setup with a volvo badged unit on top





The part number comes up as Antenna
