I have read on a forum somewhere else on the internet that it will only work with a sim1 card which are pre 2003....is this true? Any one know of a remedy? I know Volvo could probably sort it ....but that a last resort as of the cost. Any help greatfully recieved. Also..someone else has had a look for me and claims there is no ariel as the meter in the dash is showing no signal.....but I have also been told they are built in ariels.Any help greatfully recieved. Many thanks Eddie Robinson

Hi Eddie,
this may or may not be relevant however on my 2006 S60 D5 i have the same equipment.
It currently has a PAYG Orange sim card in it but when i bought it it had a Vodaphone PAYG sim in it.
BOTH worked faultlessly but obviously you have highlighted this pre 2003 issue and my car is 2006.
I think a trip to Volvo may be needed unless Clan can shed any light and if he does just accept that what he says will be right!
