Default 2008 MY sat nav fix?

The Volvo sat nav is at best a "clunky" feature and I generally use my Tom Tom accessory. Today, I left the TT behind and needed to rely on the Volvo system. My main gripe with it is that it will not remember user programing such as voice, Miles/Km and, vitally, route. As soon as I turn it off and lock the car, the user memory is lost and it resets to factory defaults.

It occurs to me that the reason is loss of electrical power to the unit, and if I could rig up a permanent power supply its memory would be retained. Has anyone tried this?
