Fitting? No problem.
Getting it to work? A different story.

The replacement Display Module, would only work for about a minute, then shut its self down.
Several software patches applied and numerous contact, made by the Dealership, to Volvo Tech Services. Finally, this afternoon, I have been told, that all is now well and I pick the car up tomorrow.

Things are now getting too complicated.
The days of DIY, seem to be over.

Why, should an identical, replacement component, be so difficult, to be made to work?
If out of warranty, I would have probably, tried to do this replacement myself and as a result, would be up to my neck, in the smelly stuff.

I just wonder, what the total warranty bill, will be?
There was several hours of tests, requested by Volvo UK, before a replacement unit was sancioned + all the work involved, since Monday.

I am going to try to find out, but do not expect a result.

Collected the car today and everything works fine, just waiting for a cold spell, to make sure.

The problem with the new software, was due to security codes.
These codes allowed the software to be downloaded, but not accepted.
Security codes removed, software downloaded and security code re-installed. Problem sovled.
