That's a non-Volvo electrical wiring loom.
You need to fit connectors, and then tap into the Volvo wiring looms, and join wires, and that's a lot of mucking around.

Save yourself the hassle and get the Volvo towbar electrics from Volvo

Similar price as non-Volvo electrics, but plug and play into your car, with no special tools needed.

And it integrates properly with the car, letting the car know a trailer is connected so that the indicator on the dash lights up, and the rear parking sensors get disabled.

A non-Volvo loom won't do that.
