for those other owners of Volvo Sat Nav in the UK that can't yet use the TMC
service, there might be some hope for us yet..
I just spotted this article at
http://www.fillyaboots.com/f7/forum_posts.asp?TID=1395&PN=1
it mentions that there might be a 'larger framework agreement' in place that
includes Volvo...

"ITIS Holdings plc (ITIS) today announces a new contract with Land Rover to
supply its RDS-TMC (Radio Data System - Traffic Message Channel) service as
standard across all models fitted with factory-installed satellite
navigation. The model range includes Range Rover, Freelander and the new
Discovery.

Land Rover are the second of the Ford Motor Company brands to standardise
the RDS-TMC service and this contract is part of a larger framework
agreement to provide this service across other Premier Automotive Group
brands including Aston Martin, Volvo and Jaguar. ITIS already supplies
RDS-TMC to Ford. "

I assume though that this will mean a new DVD at a not insubstantial cost..
