Default TRM software download - rip off?

Hi all,

Fitted detachable Witter tow bar (using guides on here) along with genuine Volvo electric kit and trailer module. Rang Volvo dealer for a price to download TRM software and was quoted £120 incl VAT!

For 20 minute job seems excessive, am up in NE Scotland but travel a fair amount, so if anyone can recommend somewhere cheaper, would be appreciated.

Btw MY16 XC60.

Thanks

Software does not get developed and distributed without effort, test equipment, distribution networks.

One could argue that all Volvos should have the software for all features preloaded in the factory, but people that do not use the minimally used functions would not be happy in contributing to the development costs of a feature they will not use.

I asked the main dealer to do it as part of a service, no problem.
