Downloading Software And Replacing The Control Module
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
New software can be downloaded into the Infotainment Head Unit (IHU). When ordering software, the hardware and the software in the car is compared to the information in 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's central database does not correspond, the database is updated with the vehicle's configuration. When this is complete, new software is downloaded.
The software is saved to a USB memory to update the software in the Infotainment Head Unit (IHU) via the USB port, which is located under the center armrest.
The Infotainment Head Unit (IHU) is in the dashboard. The control module must be removed from the dashboard to be replaced.
