XC60 Head Rest & Sat Nav

[Bluenose Pete]

Hi all, I'm new to using a forum! So not sure if this message will get posted. Anyway, I've just bought a 2010 XC60 Lux, the car is great, but there are 2 things I can't work out:

1, I want to fit seat covers to protect the leather, but can't seem to remove the head rests to make the covers fit properly, is there any easy way to remove them?

2, The car has sat nav, I've worked out how to use it, but, the owners manual only refers to remote operation or by using the navigation wheel on the steering wheel. Mine has neither of these facilities & the controls for the sat nav are behind the steering wheel! Took me ages to find it. Is it just me or was this system of operating the sat nav only installed on this particular year & model? There doesn't seem to be anything on YouTube either.....

Hope someone help!

Cheers

Unlike most modern sat-nav units, the Volvo's unit isn't a touchscreen, nor doesn't benefit from a knob near the shifter or pack any buttons in the immediate area surrounding the display. Instead, nestled away in the center console, you'll find... a remote control. When that's lost forever (and it will be), you'll have to rely on an even more ill-advised joystick array mounted on the back of a steering wheel spoke. No matter the input method, neither interface is particularly intuitive and the software behind it is dreadfully antiquated. If Ford's nav system is a PhD, General Motors' an associate's degree, and BMW's iDrive a high school equivalency diploma, Volvo's system lands somewhere south of an incomplete on an elementary school geography quiz. It's that bad, and even worse considering Ford set the new standard for ease-of-use with its Sync setup.
