If the comparison between the car and Volvo central database is not OK, the database is updated with the car configuration. When this is complete the software is downloaded.
The infotainment control module (ICM) is in the center console. The control module needs to be removed from the center console to be replaced.
Parts of the infotainment control module (ICM) can be replaced. The control module must be reprogrammed when replacing the display and/or printed circuit board. The display/printed circuit board can be removed from the infotainment control module (ICM) after the front panel has been removed.
