I usually purchase the disks from E-bay, one year getting one from Germany for as little as £10, new and the latest edition. Last year I paid £45 and that again was from Germany, June 2007 edition.
I have not seen any June 2008 edition disks on E bay recently, do you know if Volvo still support this system? I had assumed they did as they were selling it up untill 2005/2006 in the first generation C70.
Also is it possible to enable the RTI function?
And a shot is the dark here, but it is at all possible to modify the existing syestem to have post code rechognition?
Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks in advance

Hi Patrick
the only thing i can really say to you is that after looking at the info on the volvo website it tells me the Cd-Rom system was last updated in January 2007 for cars up to 1999. For 2000 (up to 2005 for the C70) models it was last updated in June 2006. This suggests that they may not be supporting this system for much longer if they are not being updated so often as the DVD version. Allthough i have no information as to why this is in my eyes the reason for this could be down to the fact they are simply not selling them, as there are so many illegal copies they may not see the true demand for them perhaps. Saying this they are still available, whether or not there is going to be a new update released i simply dont have that info sorry mate.
