Hello!

New member in Ireland here. Previous S80 2.5t owner now looking to upgrade my Merc.

I saw pilot assist can't be retrofitted to MY20-22 years? Not available as an accessory upgrade?

Volvo dealer here thinks it' can't be done; and they don't have the spec I'm looking for available...

I wanted to message "Skimm" who said they were able to get the upgrade through their Volvo dealer... or if anyone else has managed that?
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2325

They said;
"So they proceeded to contact some senior tech guys at Volvo, to see if they can override the car's software to accept the upgrade - as the hardware is already there.

It took a few days to sort out but eventually they pretty much 'hacked' my car's system and managed to upload new software. "

Sounds like these "senior tech guys" are the key! :) :D
