The prob you have, is BBA-Reman only fix probs with the display itself.

Not sure what they charge for an exchange unit, but the costs of having the software downloaded and installed at main stealer will prob double if they have to remove said software from the replacement unit first.

Also, there is the additional cost of getting the car there, as when the radio is removed, the security system activates and immobilises the car...

TBH, I'd just get one from Volvo, i know it costs more - BUT in the event of a fault, at least they will have to cover it, rather than use the get out clause that it's the (non Volvo supplied) ICM that is causung the prob - Volvo don't seem too good at good old fault finding, they charged £280 to repair "alledged" wiring faults, that they reckoned were causing the prob with our radio - Even though I had virtually stripped the car and tested every cable - AND stripped the ICM and resoldered every joint I could!

Thankfully they credited that against the ICM replacement - without "admission" of the fact they cocked it up!
