    I owned a 2003 Volvo S60 a few years back and apparently they have no mute terminal on the radio so (assuming the S40 is the same) unless you buy a factory fitted car kit your Parrot kit will not be able to mute the radio during incoming calls.

    Sorry for the 2 year delay in replying
    found a place in galway that fitted the parrot kit to the s40 with no issues.
    they had to make up there own cable as the amplifer and radio is located in the boot.
    only one issue, the amplifier stayed powered on for about 30secs after the ignition was switched off, cauisng the parrot not to power down correctly.
    quikly solved by taking the ignition sense wire off the
    cigarette lighter instead.
    been working perfectly now, ful ipod control, and the voice control for the phone is excellent.
