Hi:

I'm ownwer of 10.000kms new Mommentum S40. I'm happy with the car but I
would like to upgrate it with aftermarket HID, Tweeters and Bluetooth
mobile kit.

For the bluetooth mobile kit I would like to install the Parrot CK3100
kit, I heard that I have to install the AEM module to connect the
bluetooth kit to "talk" with the MOST system of the car (fibre). Is
this true? Anyone that did this before? The location of AEM module is
in the trunk? I have to cabling the kit to the trunk?.

I have the normal stereo radio installed with 4 speakers, I would like
to buy and install 2 tweeters in the front doors and 2 tweeters in the
back doors, but I don`t want to change the amplifier, is this possible?
If it is which model of tweeters I have buy? I heard that the cabling
to the location of the tweeters is set.

I haven't got Xenon lights, only normal lights is possible to install
an aftermarket kit with Xenon bulbs. Which model?

Thanks in advance.

You should have optioned out the Volvo Xenon lights, retrofits turn out bad,
your S40 is going to look like one of those tuner cars with the Xenon's
installed, light shinning in all sorts of crazy directions and no self
leveling... I believe this might even be illegal in some juristictions
(Europe needs leveling lights I believe)

Try Silverstar bulbs (bright white halogen) or get real Volvo headlights.
