It only provides protection for the occupants of the front seats. Never install or mount any equipment on the insides of the doors, door pillars, or side panels. This could impede the function of the DMIC system. Never try to open or repair any components of the DMIC system. This should be done only by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
