I've ordered a few things for the new C30…
-
Cargo Mat – molded plastic - good for protecting the back area from larger scrapes and dents, as well as containing any spills
-
Mesh cargo pocket - good for stowing the small stuff that tends to bounce around
-
Rubber floor mats - a must for the rainy northwest
I also searched for a while on iPod adapters – hoping that I might be able to buy the Volvo provided kit and add it on myself. It was pretty obvious after reading some of the posts on c30world.com and viewing the Volvo Install Instructions that I wouldn't be doing this anytime soon. No way am I taking all of that stuff apart!
I found what looks to be a pretty slick alternative – the Griffin Autopilot, which gives you a 12V charger and line-out quality 1/8" output. In addition, you have controls on the top of the 12V plug to manage the iPod. Reading reviews on Apple's Store (I found it there while looking for a 1/8" cable for my iPhone), I found at least one person with a Volvo S40 that bought it and was very happy. The center console, as far as I understand, in my C30 is almost exactly the same.
I ordered one online from Apple.com via overnight delivery (of course!) and will post more details when it gets in.
