Default XC60 Retro fit of Stereo

I have just purchased a Volvo XC60, I looked at a purpose built spec which came in at around £29000. However I took up the opportunity to purchase a model that was in and had a partial spec that I needed, which came in, after discounts at just under £24,000. So I accepted the model - well actually I pretty much snapped the hand off the salesman - I am more than happy with it apart from one thing I would have preferred the mid range Stereo i.e. the High Performance version.
It has the basic model stereo in it, can the High Performance version be retro fitted by a Volvo dealership?

Any help would be appreciated.

POSSIBLY - But don't be expecting much change from the £5k you have saved....

I'm also interested in change the stereo by a better one, at least one able to read MP3s.

I think Volvo dealers can install this mp3/USB connection at around the £400 mark.

Is that compatible with the basic stereo?
I think that connection is only for the high performance equipment which is able to read MP3 CDs.
Anyway, £400 is a really high price for a "usb cable", right?
