Downloading software and replacing the control module

General
Software can be downloaded to the Bluetooth phone module (BPM). When software is ordered, the vehicle' software and hardware is compared to Volvo's central database. If they are compatible, the software is downloaded to the system.
If the comparison between the vehicle and the Volvo central database does not correspond, the database is updated with the vehicle configuration, and then the software and any security codes (Security access code) is downloaded.
