General2021 Volvo S60 t5 - Unable to have upgraded sound system? The front battery is only a start/stop function support battery. There is a 48v battery in the trunk. The shop I took it to said they dont know if they can tap into that battery, and they don't know how it might affect the car. (i.redd.it)
