Recently bought a pre-registered XC90 with RTI Sat/Nav in it.

I understood that TMC would be functional and traffic reports would be captured. However it seems that I need to obtain the 3 disc DVD box set to upgrade the navigation system, to make this work.

Now, the dealer won't give me a free upgrade because all 05 reg cars got the same single disk version.

Volvo UK say it is chargeble at £200!

Since TMC does not work in the UK without the upgrade is Volvo not obliged to provide a free upgrade since the system is advertised (and was for 2005 model) with TMC ?

What have other users found out ?

Failing a free upgrade, where can I obtain a a disc at a lower price ?

p.s. The XC90 drives very well and I'm very happy in other respects.
