Lifting operation and audio upgrade of 20 cowboy blue Volvo XC60 cars

After waiting for more than four months, I finally brought Zhiyuan cowboy blue home before May Day. Because it is a foreign student car, we will not discuss the price here. Everyone knows that, but 4S is really a nude delivery. When the car is delivered, the fuel tank can only be opened15km. Driving for the first time to find a gas station. I'm worried, [laughs],

Because there is no decoration, and all the procedures have to be done by yourself, all the licensing, decoration and even audio modification can be done in half a month. Fortunately, I am really bored in the epidemic stage of waiting for the bus, and I learn knowledge in the forum every day, so I have to post my own experience and experience in the past two months. Thank you for helping my friends and giving you a reference, but they are all personal opinions. Don't spray if you don't like it! [Hee hee] "First, car selection experience: There are various experiences about XC60 on the Internet, many of which are the same as myself, so I won't say much. Oh, it's just a souvenir. Originally, I didn't change cars, but last year there was a quota for international students to buy a car at home, and it would be a waste if I didn't change cars. However, South Korea's Xinshengda, which has been with me for 8 years, is only 65,438+065,438+00,000 kilometers, so I think there is still some residual value, so I try to change the handlebar. In fact, I have already chosen Audi Q5L and Cadillac XT5, and I still used this quota to add a car to my family. Anyone who knows about foreign students' cars knows that it is mainly in BBA. There is no popular price difference among Japanese cars, so I don't want to buy another Japanese and Korean medium-sized SUV. My original car was a 7-seat car, but it was parked in a large residential area and outside. However, after watching the Q5L, I felt that it was not the original Q5L style, and the back seat and interior were relatively simple. I like high-quality safety equipment, but the price is very high, just like getting an XT5. Although I don't like the appearance very much, the model is a bit fashionable, and the grade of interior and sub-roof is acceptable, but I really accommodate its chassis height and configuration. Is it because I didn't think about Volvo at all? Yes, why? In fact, my brother and nephew have bought Volvo, one 90 and one 18 XC60. I haven't driven, but I've sat. Actually, my favorite is XC90, but it is an imported car, and there is no foreign learner's car. Hehe, XC60 feels good in appearance and interior, but it always feels a little small, unlike a car that can be lightly off-road. I mainly don't want to repeat too much, hehe. At the end of last year, everyone was going to start with XT5, but once I saw a cross-country comparison video of XT5 and XC60 on the Internet, and I saw that the chassis height of XT5 was too shallow to climb. Haha, XC60 was a bit off-road at that time! There is a data that XC60 is the highest ground clearance of SUV in this price range, and I was suddenly surprised. At this time, I went to see the various parameters of XC60, or full-time four-wheel drive. Although it is not a pure off-road version, the lane keeping and adaptation I have been thinking about are actually standard, and the air is also very environmentally friendly. Plus there are discounts before the end of the year. I like long-distance self-driving this time, and my eyesight is a bit problematic. People who care about four-wheel drive power and don't like the brand publicity brought by BBA have solved their needs, hehe, so they did not hesitate to place an order directly and ordered Zhiyuan Edition. In fact, I only went to the 4S shop once, mainly to check the color of denim blue and the coordination between the seat and the interior. I didn't consider any other test drive or vibration. On the one hand, you didn't buy a car there in the end. The chassis is better than XT5, the interior is better than Odibe, and the configuration price is better than BMW. As long as you don't need to buy BBA, Volvo is the only one! Second, pick up the car: I originally agreed to pick up the car at the end of February, but I didn't expect to book the car in 65438+February. Because of this epidemic, I can't wait until the end of April to pick up the car. In addition, the old car rushed without preparation, so it is a bit difficult to wait for the bus. But I learned a lot of preparation after picking up the car in the forum, which laid the foundation for my quick execution.

Driving home, this color is calmer than the sports version of "Sao Lan", and it's worth waiting for so long! Ha ha laugh

Today's XC60 looks much more fashionable than in previous years.

The first thing to do is to find the film. On the Internet, I found a master who contracted a film pasting project for a 4S shop, and made dragon film and crystal electroplating. Park the materials in the community in the open air every day, and you can't afford the invisible car clothes. [Hee hee] It's ok if a friend has his own garage, hehe.

Dragon film construction

After crystal plating, the brightness increases a lot.

This back seems more beautiful than the old one. I don't know what has changed, or is it a psychological effect? Ha ha laugh

After pasting the film, I put on the card, and then I began to implement all kinds of decoration knowledge I learned online a while ago on "Bao+","Dong" and "Fish" to complete my own ideas.

I didn't want to add a headrest at first, but later I saw a friend buy it online. In addition, I thought it was still cheap on idle fish, so I bought two new ones, saying they were the same model in 4S shop, and the quality was ok!

This cushion is a silicone cushion I tried to buy, because it is mainly used in the driver's seat and is very comfortable to use. Add another one these days, or the front row will be ugly, haha

It is very comfortable to use. There is a famous brand on the Internet that 600 yuan wants to make. It's too expensive. Why do you care so much about this stuff that rubs under it? Comfort is the most important thing. I am 85, haha.

This steering wheel cover is more comfortable to operate.

Add a pair of floor mats, dark brown and uniform in color, just put them on the original car and don't take them off.

This is also a special bracket bought online. The original mobile phone holder can be used directly, which is stronger than being stuck in an air conditioner and more stable than that kind of magnetic force.

I bought a pair of this, one in the left and right driver's seats, and there are really not many places to put things after 60.

I changed the fish tank in the back seat myself just to look better. Nothing else matters, haha.

I can understand the online photo of this glasses case, but it's a little rough. Let's talk about it first I need a lot of my own glasses. There used to be two special glasses boxes in the car, but now there are none in the car. Haha, it has regressed.

The trunk liner is made of this material. It is easy to say that it is environmentally friendly. All-inclusive new ones look good. If you want to take something, you will be in trouble. We mainly prevent the bottom from wearing, hehe.

This is the original car key.

I found a key shell on the Internet, which is not bad, but my pocket is too big and a bit "local tyrant" [hee hee]. This key is more suitable for ladies with bags. I think the owner thinks it is too big, especially in summer, hehe.

The biggest and most troublesome project is coming, sound modification. As I said before, if it can be installed before leaving the factory, I will immediately pay 25,800 Bao Hua, but the problem is that it cannot be installed. Then we can install it outside. It's worthless anyway. The money for selling cars in the future is for people, hehe. Therefore, I focus on lossless and improvement. In fact, I originally imagined the XC60 car, and the original car sound should not be too bad. I want to fool around. But the reality is that when I first picked up the car, it really sucked. There is only one advantage, that is, listening to the radio is good, because just listening to the radio requires no noise and high notes, which is enough for the original car speakers. However, as a person who likes to listen to some sounds and is a bit tossing, I really feel that the grade difference between the original car stereo and this car is too much. Maybe people just want you to upgrade, so the cost is under control. Through the forum, I found a Shanghai friend who also likes tossing, helped me DIY refit the stereo, installed an overseas Baohua silver basin center, changed the tenor of Qianmen Overseas Baohua and the tenor of Bao Hua at the back door, and kept the four woofers of the original car. In this way, both the face value and the sound quality have been significantly improved. This is a value-for-money modification. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, but I was lucky, hehe.

The middle of the original car is actually a panel. There is a hole in it. Is there no vibration without a horn? [Hee hee]

Added Baohua center speaker.

This is to replace the original speaker of Bao Hua.

This is the door with the door panel removed. Change the bass of this original car when you have a chance, and forget it when you don't have a chance, hehe.

This is the panel of the removed door.

This is the contrast between the alto horn of the original car and Bao Hua.

The front of the alto.

High pitch contrast

One is a tenor with titanium film, and the other is a tenor with silk film, which is very different.

The most difficult thing to say about car stereo modification is the effect, because many refitters are for the sake of face value and reputation, not enthusiasts. After all, they don't know how much the effect has improved. I played HiFi stereo 20 years ago, and I know that even if there is a recording here, it can't make you feel the effect. So here are some metaphors to illustrate the effect of this sound improvement. I don't know if you can understand. Hehe, the effect of HIFI is composed of a system, that is, if you want to get a perfect sound presentation, the sound source (recording effect \ media (tape' CD', lossless music disc), power amplifier (PA) and speaker are all very important influencing factors, so it doesn't mean that if you change the speaker, the sound will be fine. The recording effect of the original sound, the control of the distortion of the PA and the degree of power matching will all have different effects. In addition, everyone's appreciation level and style are different, and it is difficult to have a unified scale for sound effects, so this is a metaphysical hobby, haha, but in fact some laws can still be controlled. Let me give you an example here. As we all know, if you have drunk the most advanced chicken soup, it must be a kind of soup that looks crystal clear but tastes delicious. If I give you another bowl of chicken soup, it tastes ok, but the soup is very muddy, either glistening or mixed with other dishes. What kind of soup do you think is the best at this time? Listening to music is the same, it is a kind of spiritual enjoyment. If you just want to listen to the sound, listen clearly, now the most common sound can be achieved, otherwise the system can only be considered useless. But just like the high-grade soup, why the soup is clear and delicious is because the chef constantly sifts out the impurities in the original primary chicken soup and rationally configures various ingredients, so there will be such high-grade products; Extending to the sound system, we need a system to play music with transparent treble, bright midrange and strong bass. The overall speaker responded quickly and did not feel sloppy. This is easier said than done. As far as XC60' s original car stereo is concerned, its high-pitched penetration is ok. If you only listen to the radio, you will feel it, but the problem lies in its own material and production level. This set of speakers has poor responsiveness to the power amplifier, that is, they want to hear the bass and high bass at the same time. There is no bass at the low volume, so they have to increase the volume. But once the volume is increased, the bass and high bass of this system are like being in the driveway, and all the cars are crowded. That's when you heard it. It is a kind of mixed speech synthesis without hierarchy, just like the mixed chicken soup I mentioned earlier. You drank chicken soup, but it was low-grade chicken soup. And Bao Hua's horn, because of its own production quality and grade, responds quickly under the same power, so you will feel that the tenor is correspondingly faster and brighter after changing the horn. In addition, due to the high quality of tenor, it is equivalent to separating the bass of the original car horn separately, and each level is more clear. Imagine that the lanes are separated and each lane is driving at a uniform speed. This scene is, however, after changing the horn, you should make the following adjustments in the car according to the characteristics of the horn, so that the effect is better. A friend changed the horn, but the equalizer didn't adjust it, and the effect was not obvious. It's a pity. My balance chart and tone are adjusted like this.

The bass is increased because the original car horn needs to be improved, but the middle and high notes are suitable. This is the so-called "harmonious society".

The addition of the center speaker has great influence on the sound field. Imagine a human voice singing in front of you, but there is no speaker in this part of the original car, so the effect will not be said. In addition, the speaker was changed and the choice of sound source was also paid attention to. I downloaded a lot of lossless music I like online, but it should be noted that the APE format does not support FLAC and WAV formats. In addition, I encountered a problem, that is, you downloaded FLAC and WAV supported by the car machine, and this car machine sometimes can't read it. I'm dizzy! There are also the same photo albums, some of which can be viewed, and some of which say "format is not supported". I have taken blood from this car machine several times! Haha, there is a way to solve the problem by re-converting the original music format factory. I still don't understand why. I wish I could listen. This car is connected to the stereo with Bluetooth, and the effect is very poor. I don't know what happened. I basically no longer use this method. In addition, I made a comparison between Apple and Android. Apple carplay's wired connection has good sound effects, second only to USB. What I want to vomit is the menu of this car, and I can't get a folder at all. All the songs are crowded together. I'm drunk, too, and there may be a way, but I never thought that if an experienced friend gave me a command that was not demanding, it would be ok to change the bass into a high-pitched voice, without loss. Of course, it would be better if we changed the bass. Haha, the story of sound is over. I feel quite satisfied, hehe.

In addition, let me talk about other feelings: 1, I didn't feel the strong vibration I was concerned about on the Internet. Some people will say that the 2020 model is equipped with any valve. Actually, I think it's normal to drive a little noisy. You're not the top car in the world. What's more, I'm fine when the music is on, but as a person who has enjoyed my original modern car, there is no sound when idling, and sometimes I feel that the car hasn't started yet. I'm still sensitive to this vibration. I really can't feel it in the car, but if I stand outside the car after starting, the engine noise is relatively loud. I don't know why. It turns out that the Citroen I drove for the first time also had this problem, while Japanese cars and Korean cars seemed to be quieter. Is this the difference between European department and Japanese and Korean department, haha? 2. Power: Driving is really comfortable, the steering wheel is extremely light, the car will exert its strength with a little throttle, and overtaking is really light, but now the car doesn't go much at high speed. 3. Keeping that driveway is very helpful for my eyes with astigmatism and presbyopia. I used to press the thread. Now that the vehicle automatically keeps the lane, I am confident to step on the gas. It turns out that there is a problem. ACC isn't working yet. It should be good. I hope to have a good time running on the expressway. 4. Fuel consumption: mainly in urban areas and expressway. Now more than 400 laps, fuel consumption 14.5. This is also not allowed. I started the car several times in the community half an hour ago, I can't say for sure. 5. Chassis: I think it is ok to say that this car is difficult to filter. Driving this car is basically the same as driving an SUV. It feels like driving a car, so I think the road is bumpy and the filtration is good. 6. What is the most important voice and navigation? Forget it. Stay as long as you want. Fortunately, if you have been to Europe, everyone knows that foreigners sometimes have square ideas, which are different from ours. Still use your own mobile phone, haha overall evaluation, a good car that you use very smoothly, a safe, low-key, fuel-efficient car, and a car that is less tired to drive after the audio upgrade!

It is gray when there is no sunshine, haha.

Headlights at night are also a bright spot!
