Hi all,
Long time reader first time poster here. I don't really know what to search for to find this out so I figured I would post. I have a 2002 s60, which I love, but ever since I bought the car I have been wondering about 2 things. First off, what is that big speaker looking thing in the middle of the dash. I know its not air, and I know it's not a speaker, so what is it? Second, on my rear bumper, bottom right side, there is a panel, I opened the panel, and I see a small tube. No idea what this is for either. I asked a mechanic friend of mine and he didnt know what either was for. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks! Sam |

That area on the dash is where they have the Sat Nav display popping up from.
But if you dont have Sat Nav I believe some models are fitted with a central speaker - could be wrong though ? The hole in the bumper is probably where you screw in the towing eye - there is a cover on the front too. |

It is a central speaker.

I thought that they wouldn't include the central mount if the high end system isn't purchased.

Join the club Damoto - Do you mean you are missing the actual 'screw-in' towing eye or the cover on the bumper ?
Volvo sell the towing eye for around £20 I think and I haven't found anywhere else to get one - even cars that are breaking seem to have lost them. |
