sounds like a fob off to me considering the device itself says contact dealer for additional maps - what option do I select in the diagnostic menu?
Perhaps it may help us if you advise what region of the world the car was originally made for, and what region of the world you now want to operate the car.

The options in the diagnostic menu are as self explanatory as you see them.
I've never seen any Volvo documentation on the diagnostic menu.

Not that I know of.

If you have a DVD of the original region maps, and a DVD of the new region, you could compare the DVD data and look for anything obvious in the config files. Maybe you can make a DVD that labels itself as the region the car expects, but contains map data from the region you are in now.

And tell us what the regions are.... and what year car it is... and if you have MMM or MMM+....
