Hello

Could someone run through what's required for getting into the software of Volvos?

From what I understand:
I could take my car to Volvo and they'd add something in the software for a lot of money.

Slightly cheaper option would be to purchase (?) the vDash software.
This then requires X amount of hours to crack the CEM pin. Does the car battery need to be connected to an external charger during this time? I can hook something up to a wired PC / similar I should think so power to a laptop is easy.

Then I have to buy modules or things to add/unlock features of the car (providing the hardware is in place)?

Just trying to work out how it all works.

Thanks
