Downloading Software And Replacing The Control Module

New software can be downloaded into the infotainment control module (ICM). 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.

It is also possible to save the software on a USB-memory and update the software in Infotainment control module (ICM) via the USB-port. For vehicles equipped with 5 inch screen the USB-port is hidden behind a hatch on Infotainment control module (ICM). For vehicles equipped with 7 inch screen the USB-port is located on Integrated Audio Module (IAM)

The infotainment control module (ICM) is in the dashboard. The control module must be removed from the dashboard to be replaced.
