Downloading Software And Replacing The Control Module
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Volvo V70, 2009 Volvo V70, and 2008 Volvo V70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
New software can be downloaded into the accessory USB unit (AUU). When software is ordered the software and hardware of the vehicle are compared with Volvo's central database. If the comparison corresponds then the software is downloaded into 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 accessory USB unit (AUU) is located behind the combined instrument panel.
Select the MOST network for a total download of software to the vehicle.
