Add Accessories

The following accessories can be ordered to add functions:

• Additional heater
• Parking heater
• Residual heater.

Heaters are factory installed from structure week 9850 inclusive and can also be ordered for older cars. When the parking heater function is added to a car, the software is downloaded into a varying number of control modules (depending on the structure week in which the car was built) as follows: The structure week in which the car was manufactured can be read off using VIDA - Vehicle communication.

When ordering software, the status of the software in the car is compared to the Volvo central database. If the comparison is OK the software is downloaded to the control module.

If the comparison between the car and Volvo central database is not OK, the database is updated with the latest information. When this is complete the software is downloaded.
