Your car came with 3 years free updates done via DVDs. After those initial 3 years if you wanted to update the cartography you needed to pay for each update. Shortly after your car was originally bought Volvo changed the system. They used to use Navteq as their supplier for the cartography until a consortium of manufacturers which included Volvo bought Here. Because now they own the company that supplies the cartography they started to offer free updates for life for their new vehicles which is why you can download the new maps from Volvo's website. For cars with the old system Volvo offers an update that removes the necessity to enter a licence code for a one-off fee. After this update you will be able to download from Volvo's website the new maps updates and you won't be prompted for a code. |

The IAM upgrade software is I think around 35quid plus an hour of the tech's time to load it into the car which if it goes pete tong and ends up with a remote connection from Sweden then that hour turns into five, but your still only getting charged the hour.

The upgrade offered by Volvo reduces the cost of DVD production and distribution and is offered to you at a reduced price to provide you with map updates free of charge. You can complain and whinge as much as you want, on as many threads as you want however that will not alter the fact that you either pay for a licence code to activate the maps or you pay for the IAM update - either way you will need to pay. Meantime take the advice that when you are in a hole stop digging before the laser gets too short and accept the advice being offered gracefully.

Perhaps this analogy might work. You buy some software v.3.0. The deal is you have free upgrades within v.3.x Then a year later they bring out v.4. You don't this for free. You need to pay either full retail or at a concessionary price as an upgrade. Does this explain where you are ?

So you want to spend many, many unpaid hours reinventing something that already works plus buy the components required to make your solution work, all to save £50 and at the same time reduce the value of your car significantly - you really don't understand commercial reality do you?
Good luck, you are really going to need it.
