New owner

Hello forum members, I have just moved to Budapest Hungary and I am in the process of buying a very well maintained 2001/8 Volvo S80 Auto. I would like to ask a couple of questions and advice. Firstly, I am wondering if I as to purchase a late model S80 gps system would I be able to plug and play the newer unit into my older model? As I believe that the wiring for models even without gps is all still there.
Secondly I would like to purchase owners manuals etc for it and wonder if someone can advise me of which exact manuals came with that year and month model?
I appreciate any help/advice in advance.
Many thanks

Hi,

The owners manual only goes back as far as 2004 on the Volvo UK website, download link below:

No worries Aries25au.

Even though you can't download a manual prior to 2004 from the Volvo website, I'm sure there aren’t many major differences between them, by the way, I’m assuming you can read the english version!

I have no idea about your satnav question, but obviously you could use a standalone unit or satnav app on your iPhone-android mobile, I’ve used google, garmin & sygic in the past and now use the tom-tom app on my iPhone, which I’ve found to be the best satnav I’ve used so far.
