No the bar won't fit. As for electrics, get the Volvo kit it is plug and play. The update is not needed if you really don't want to get it done. Some say it only stops the fog lights on the car coming on when you are towing. I think it probably does a bit more.

It tells me which light on my trailer bar isn't working and few other things.
