If you're just going to be towing a small trailer to the tip then a generic kit should be okay but if you are towing big heavy stuff or caravans, you are much better off with the proper Volvo set up.

Some dealers sell the new Volvo wiring kits on ebay, there's no reason why you couldn't fit a second hand towbar and a new kit yourself and then get your dealer to program it.
thanks, is this the module you are referring too?
