Default I think you have to be a Volvo MapCare Customer?

I have an S80 MY 2013 that uses these exact discs. Since new I have updated my Satnav twice using discs supplied under Volvo MapCare. Both times having received the discs through the post I had to go on-line and enter the VIN of my car to receive a unique activation code to use when you put the first disc into the car's DVD drive. To get the code your car has to be in the Volvo MapCare programme as part of the initial 3 years free, or for older cars because you have purchased additional years. I reckon these discs are only good if your car is entitled to Volvo MapCare. But in that case you get can the discs with an activation code anyway direct from Volvo so why buy them? (Just Google "Volvo satnav update.") There may be places on the Internet where you can get illicit activation codes for Volvo satnav discs, but I have never looked.
