Can anyone confirm if Volvo need to activate anything on their diagnostics? If so is there anywhere/anyone who has this software outside of the dealerr network?
My car has previously had a towbar fitted and removed by the local dealer but I find it hard to believe they would have taken the time to remove any software if it is required.
Any advice is much appreciated.

Yes you must have a brand new trailer module and get the dealer to download the activation software .. You connected the orange wire to the fuse box ok? and fitted the 2 fuses and connected the white Earth wire to the chassis ??
Yes the dealer would have removed the software otherwise there would be a fault message in the dash about a missing trailer module .
