Japanese nav system is totally different

When I worked on Japanese BMWs in Auckland, I replaced the Jap nav with the Euro nav and it worked perfectly. A bit of software reprogramming helped too.

For the Volvo I expect it may well be the same BUT you do not know until you try.
So try a Euro nav unit in the Jap Volvo.
Wiring may be different, be prepared.
And if it needs software programming you may be out of luck if the Volvo software system recognises the ca as Jap-market and refuses to load Euro-market software to it....
