appreciate your comments.

Thanks.

I was determined to buy the factory nav system that came as an option with
my 2004 S60R, which I believe is the same one that comes in the models
you're talking about. However, the salesmen, service department, you name
it, advised against buying the factory system. So I bought a Garmin
StreetPilot 2620 for less than 1/3 the price and it works great.

The S60/V70 and S80 use the same System. I own a DVD-bases system since
novenber 2001. It works -at least in europe- great. No troubles, no probs.
It comes with knobs behind the stering wheel and additional with a remote.
Easy to handel, easy to learn and perfect. There is only one disadvantage:
it is not mobile. The price is OK when you compare ot to aftersales producs
with a DVD, screen and TMC functions. Not to forget that you get factory
guarantee. And: no cables in your car!
