Hi, spokoluzik perhaps you can share a dump of volvo dashes which you have?

language change costs if you decide to go the legal way, however there are garages who can do this without additional fee. how exactly idk, i just know a local guy who does this for 50eur. keep searching around

Hey there all, I see this is a common issue, and I'm keen to fix it. I have recently bought a 05 v50 and loving it! It's my first euro and it's such a pleasure to drive!

I would like to understand the dash though.

What's the best solution? Spend up? I'm fairly technical so I am tempted to grab the aliexpress device and try change it myself, but I'm unsure of the risks.

Any updates as to what the best way is? Thanks!

Hi,

I have read back throught he posts and I cant seem to find a clear solution to the problem of ownining a car with a different language being displayed.

I live in France and can read English and French, but the dash of my XC90 is in Italian. Not a massive problem but at least if it was in French it would be easier to sell, when that day comes.

I dont want to pay a great deal and i am keen to know if there is a low cost option.

Hi All

Same boat here and also in Auckland, NZ. I have a V50 (2004) in Japanese and looking to change to English. Has this problem been solved yet without a hefty price tag?

Hi, I have changed the language on my 2012 V60 yesterday, after lots of research and buying the right gear/software

kiwivolvo · Apr 15th, 2018, 04:54

Hi, I did it yesterday to my V60, I can walk you through it if interested, but yes, you do need to spend about 220NZD, if you don't have Dice

Hi Kiwivolvo
I have a 2011 V60 that I need to change the language & radio frequency.Can you give me details.
I have changed some on the settings page on the info screen but still have dash messages coming up in Japanese.

Hey mate, Aucklander here with V60. Would be keen for some help with this also. Can you PM me? It doesn't seem to let me PM if I have less than 30 posts.
