Calling All P2s

So what is a P2 Volvo you say? Well I did some research and here's the data.

Volvo used the P2 (Platform 2) across a number of models and years.
Here's an overview (all images thanks to WikiPedia or their owner).

S80 1999-2006, Type 184
The classical flagship luxury sedan

V70 2001-2007, Type 285
The sedan but made practical as a family wagen

XC70 2001-2007, Type 295
A raised V70, with AWD, and some tough-looking body parts

S60 2001-2009, Type 384
The smaller compacter sedan

XC90 2003-2014, Type 275
The rugged 5- or 7-seater AWD SUV, like an XC70 but taller all around.
I think this is the best looking of all the P2 vehicles

Another XC90 facelift model, out in the environment it was born for


The fundamentals of my software work on all of these vehicles, however the bus addresses sometimes do change from model year to model year. But don't let that stop you!

So if you own one of the above vehicles, keep following this blog....

    Do you have a GitHub repo for this? I own a v70 02 and s60. Looking forward to updates on this! The implication of Android auto with full read write control for the Volvo p2 series is a must!

    The Volvo XC90 and other Volvo P2 platform models are admired for their durability, practicality, and timeless Scandinavian design. From the rugged XC90 SUV to the versatile V70 and sporty S60, these vehicles continue to have a loyal enthusiast following thanks to their comfort, AWD capability, and strong safety reputation. For owners looking to preserve the original paint and maintain the premium appearance of these classic Volvo models, installing high-quality PPF Coating for Car is an excellent way to protect against scratches, stone chips, and environmental damage.
