Trip computer - how much to activate?
For some mind boggling reason, whoever originally ordered my T5 R-design failed to choose the option of a trip computer/mpg display.
And If there's one car that you NEED an mpg/trip computer for, it's the T5. How much could I expect to get this done for, given S40's are now old cars? |

old doesnt make Much diff when it comes to s/w downloads to add features
best bet is bell a local dealer or 4 as there the only ones (other than certain indy's) who are able to "install" and activate s/w features

Phone a couple of dealers and see what the current prices are.
From this old thread, it looks like the software alone was about £250 to retrofit back in 2009/2011 (more if you need a new stalk too): https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=86747 |

I have found a somewhat unorthodox solution called "VDASH", you can 'add' various features if you pay them for their software.... Who's brave enough to try?
Seems to be from Czech republic:
