Volvo Instrument Cluster / DIM Removal Procedure for V70, XC70, S60, S80, XC90 

Wow...I did NOT think it would be that easy to remove the gauge cluster. Thanks for the very well made guide!

Just installed a xemodex pre programmed instrument cluster for my 2004 xc70. The installation process was simple and the cluster so far as been working amazing. Finally I can see how much gas I have!

I like what xemodex is doing,, makes long term ownership of tgese computerized cars much more manageable

I just installed one of your DIMs in my 2003 S60 T5 and it was so easy! As soon as I turned the key it sprang to life and acquired the mileage. I do have the SRS warning message, but I have a Dice unit and a laptop that I can use to reset it. Great product that saved me at least $1k over a new unit from the stealership.

Once again a great video from xemodex thank you so much

changed my (DIM) while watching your video thanks very useful! now onto the ignition coils haha

Great video! It looks like replacing the transparent cover on the binnacle is also straightforward, mine is dusty or has hairline cracks, it all seems to be on the inside. Would this be the same basic procedure on a 2010 XC90 3.2?

OMG thank you for making my life better and EASIER !!

Hi XeMODex. Thanks for a great instructive video. Can I just ask why do you not recommend driving the vehicle without the module in place ? I have a sat nav to show my speed whilst it will be repaired.

Wow, thank you so much! I just removed mine and it was easy thanks to you. God Bless!

Thank You for good video :)

For those who focused on battery terminal removal, did you remove just the negative cable or both?

What if you wanted to repair the DIM yourself and not buy a new one or send it to get repaired. How would you go about it?

you are a hero my friend :) great job!

Hi, do you know if i can take facelift (03-07) speedometer in (00-02) model?

Hey this video is very helpful!! Now I have to find out how I can repair the clock. There is nothing at the display on the clock. Thanks so much❤

Can you tell me why are the lights are flashing like on and off , in the message area, mileage and motor lights?

Should you unplug the battery before doing this?

Just wanna say a huge thank you for being the exact video I needed!

That was great !

my husband installed a cluster board in his 02 Volvo V70. The car was reading 87,000. Now its showing 200,000. How do he fix this issue?

well done thanks

hello friend how are you I have a volvo v70xc 2004 in the instrument panel it turns on the lights from time to time that is to say sometimes when connecting the switch I would like to know if replacing the instrument panel as in your video I solve this problem

Thx for the video! :)

Thank you ~~~

Thank you ~~~~

Hi great video, I have a late 2002 V70 D5, with the cluster all blacked out, I am looking to get a used dash cluster could you tell me what V70s are the same dash cluster? is it any V70 D5 from 2002 to 2006? thanks

THANK YOU !!!

Hello I have a 2002 Volvo XC70 that the Dim only shows the service engine light. is there a fix for this?

I have a 2003 xc90 that the dealer said I need a new dash for $1400 I found one on eBay for $99 if I follow your directions I should be okay? To back track my dash would flash the srs bag maintaince warning and then my gages would go all the way to the left then the dash would cut out. Is a new cluster unit what I need? TIA

I love volvo

Thank you for your helpfull video. Those bits of plastic are so fagile. Especialy over time.

I have spots on the plexiglass screen covering the instrument cluster. I have C70. I tried speaking the outside of the screen but they won't come off. Could it be on the inside of the screen? How could I remove just the screen and clean it?

I have the same problem on my volvo s60 however my car is also not driving regularly. it takes a lot of acceleration to move just a few inches. is that a whole different issue?

Can I see the dim part number without removing it?

Hello, I have a volvo v70 year 2005. If I swap the DIM from a used volvo of the same year model, would I have to program it at a volvo shop or such? Nice video and thanks!

Hello, I ran across your video by putting in the youtube Search, (1998 S70 VOLVO needles not working).. Last August I purchased a 1998 S70 Non turbo Volvo 2.4 , the following has never worked and I've called this car my Great lil fixer upper from day 1. I actually just Love this Particular Volvo Model. Now the Problem is My cluster does nothing other than the lights lighting up and the check engine and service engine lights etc. Now when i say it does nothing, I'm talking about the Needles, meaning i get NO rpm, fuel, hot, oil, etc. readings from the cluster. I only know its time to get fuel when the fuel light comes on. Please advise what I should do to get my needles working.. Can I buy another cluster all together or do you have the info where id go purchase a new one, or would one from the salvage yard work.. HELP Im at a lost here. A Sincere Thanks In Advance!!

My fuel gauge has stopped working and the SRS is on. Would picking up a new cluster (from autowrecker) work?

I have gotten new clusters for a 2002 Volvo S80 and it still won’t work at all. The gauages won’t move and the lights don’t work is there a different problem ?

I removed it but I can't find the answer to this: Can I still drive it while the cluster is out? And if so, will the correct mileage still accumulate?

This quick video demonstrates how to remove the Instrument Cluster (DIM) from your vehicle. HOW TO: Instrument Cluster / DIM Removal Procedure for V70, XC70, S60, S80, XC90 #techtips #volvo #volvolove

mine doesn't do anything, it doesn't work at all.. can I buy a replacement off of eBay or do I have to send in the one I have to be repaired? if i have to send it in to be repaired will I be able to drive my car without it?

So I don't need to get anything reprogrammed to replace the DIM?

Thanks for the video. I had a little over 100k miles on my Volvo I order one from eBay and it says 200k! How can I make it go back to the original miles ? Is there a way. Crap

If I buy an used DIM elsewhere, would I then need to get it reprogrammed?

Don't forget to hide the car keys in another zip code so you won't accidentally turn on the ignition which leaves some nasty error codes only the dealer can clear.

How much to repair my original unit ..03 Volvo xc 90 ??goes off and on shows the warning lights ten sometimes completely goes out

At first my 2003 Volvo S60 was showing airbag warning and then all DIM lights and indicators went off. I was not sure if it was DIM problem but I replaced my old DIM Instrument cluster with new one but lights and indicators are not working yet.

What does it mean if the miles doesn’t go back to the right number

400k miles and rising. Testament to Volvo engineering.

Hello i know this video is old but i wanted to ask you if you can change the instument cluster from a volvo v70 2009 to a instrument cluster on a volvo v70 2015, if it is the same plugins and if they would line up the same way ( if they fit correct) and also if all the lights and led and stuff that are in the 2015 cluster would work on my 2009 volvo v70 if i change.. Thanks !

Hello, important Question; How did you manage to get the R-Design Badge at you steering wheel?

Do the miles stay the same?

No s 40 😢

2004 S80 has two hidden screws holding the bezel on! Do not try to pry this off!

Forcing the corn? Hmm I didn't realize I needed to use corn to remove my dash.

Make sure you only use a toonie. I didnt realize and my loonie actual created an electric reaction and fried my cluster.
