[REL] Volvo VNL 2025 - Improved Radio Infotainment Screens v1.1

#1 Post by Graf_Boinenn » 15 May 2026 23:19

RELEASED - Volvo VNL 20205 - Improved Radio Infotainment Screens


This mod aims to add more screens into the Infotainment System of the Volvo VNL 2025 as it is in real life. Won't be 100% of them cause it's useless, but some to improve the immersion in this wonderful truck.

To make it work properly, you need to set a key to the option "Infotainment Display Mode" on the "Interior" section for Keys Configuration in the Settings. After that, press the assigned key to toggle/switch between screens/display options.

Check the second image in the gallery on the Steam Workshop page for more information.

Released on v1.0:
  • Infotainment "Main Menu/Widgets"*.
  • GPS (Default by SCS).
  • Right Camera Monitor System (CMS) + GPS.
  • --> Includes screen with message for those who doesn't use/own the Camera Monitor System (CMS).
  • Right Camera Monitor System (CMS).
  • --> Includes screen with message for those who doesn't use/own the Camera Monitor System (CMS).
  • Infotainment "My Apps" menu**.
  • Clock screen***.
  • Screen off (Default by SCS).
* Infotainment "Main Menu/Widgets" screen has a static image for the music + forecast, due to game limitations. I decided to put music as it wasn't being played and no information available for the weather. I will try to put game info related to the wind.
** Infotainment "My Apps" screen has a static image of available apps. All icons will be vectors created from zero for max quality.
*** Due to game limitations (or mine), I can't create the clock view as it is in the truck in real life. Which has a screen of an "analog" clock.

Update v1.1:
  • GPS background changed to black across screens.
  • Change proportions of Right Camera Monitor System (CMS) + GPS from 70%-30% to a more realistic 56%-44% (CMS-GPS).
Future updates planned:
  • Exterior temperature on the Infotainment main menu / Weather widget.
  • "Real Wind direction" using the computer compass for Infotainment main menu / Weather widget.
  • ETA to destination on Main Screen.

Well, I did some optimization in the code and made everything work as expected for the first beta I had in mind (Only menu, main screen, GPS, apps screen, big clock & screen off)

In the upcoming days I will work on the GPS + Right Mirror and the Right Mirror display to release the mod :).

It seems this doesn't work if regular mirrors are installed? That's a shame, because there's no point in using dumb tablets, since regular ones are still needed.

As the mirror view on the infotainment screen comes from the cameras, it makes sense that the mirror view isn't available when the cameras aren't installed.
Perhaps the FMCSA will change the requirement for those smaller physical mirrors in the future, but for now, that's the way it is.

it makes sense that the mirror view isn't available when the cameras aren't installed.
So, are mirror tablets and the presence of a camera strictly connected? And is a separate camera unacceptable? I just don't really see the point in them, since there's already an alarm from the sensor.
