ive done a bit of reserch on this and employed some turbobrickers knowlage and have came up with this..
it is a volvo OE item and is around in the usa and europe, the info centre was an option on pre 90 (maybe even 90+) on the winter package. according to a T'Ber, theres nothing for it in the factory 'Accessory Replacement Parts Catalog' so its as rare there as it is here, ive been told when they do come up its alot of money. tho the 60mpg is a bit rich isn't it? (activate nun mode and just mayme true..) also, i see the speedo shows just over 2k miles...the pod its self has deffo seen more than that!

perhaps it's going to use some of the components from the 440-460 range since I recollect owning one which had a similar kind of display with the radius of lights.
Also, since it was so rare, there's possibly further overlap of components with another make or two, perhaps SAAB (total guess) Are there any names or ref nos on the back of the dash unit? Also, does the seller say or know where it came from?

The 480 in 1986 was higher tech than that in a lot of departments :-)

never seen anything like that except the add on "driving computer" for the 300 series in the mid 1980's . I think it must be an american option as the fuel gauge has "unleaded only" on it and that was an USA Feature . Pity you dont have the rest to be able to use it , but it could be calibrated in USA Gallons and miles ...
