Downloading software and replacing the control module
New software can be downloaded into the RTI control module. When ordering software, the hardware and the software in the car is compared to the Volvo central database. If the comparison is OK the software is downloaded to the control module.
If the comparison between the car and Volvo central database does not correspond, the database is updated with the configuration of the car. New software is downloaded after the update is complete.
All other software required for the RTI system to work is on the CDs or DVDs.
The following applies when downloading new software versions:
- The early version CD for structure weeks 199815 to 200019 only functions in the control modules from the same structure weeks
- New version CDs from structure week 200020 onwards function in all RTI (road traffic information) systems with CD changers
- DVDs, irrespective of version, function in all RTI (road traffic information) systems with DVD players.
