Seems like its not worth it on our cars, although I have found a waterfall console for £35, driver seat from an S40 for £50 and I could probably have it coded at my local Volvo specialist (not a dealer, just a guy who used to work for them who has all the kit) for a few quid.

Probably not worth it since I have the idea of picking up a Jaguar XF Portfolio next year which has all the toys on it already :P

I too would have loved the Bi-xenon, not sure why anyone would pay upwards of 30k and not choose them or heated seats (or parking sensors for that matter!) but the sound system is awesome at least! I've just stuck a HID kit in the projectors for now since the halogen bulbs feel like driving behind a dim torch!!
Just bear in mind that your friend, even with Vida+Dice, may be NOT able to code waterfall to the car as it will most likely need downloading new software from Volvo so unless he has subcription - he may be not able to help you.

Remember that changing almost anything in our cars require "software download" from Volvo server... Im surprised that changing the smell of screenwash does not require coding to the car... ;P

+1 to HIDs, stock lights are.... well, they simply aren't there .... but I hope you did the research ref HIDs and WMM burnouts it may cause and you did the dealer reflash and switched off DRLs? (and hopefully run mass ground cable)
