Ripped open the centre console dash and fitted the OEM looking Andriod head unit. Looks factory and allows full app capability, phone bluetooth integration and Google Maps.

Can anyone recommend someone to perform an engine shim other than Shem or Tim Williams?

Thanks

My one is a few years old. I got it from Alibaba. I've just looked and they have snazzy new ones with upgraded CPU, memory and Android version. Appear to have larger screens too.

Make sure you check your dash layout though to make sure the curves of the unit fit as Volvo changed the design slightly with the facelift.

Also as you're in Winchester I have a spare one I imported and never used. If you want to grab a picture of your dashboard I can tell you if it will fit then get pictures for you.
