The Volvo central database

The Volvo central database contains information about all Volvo cars in the world from model year 1999.
This includes information about the vehicles configuration, i.e. how the car is equipped, where the car was built, the vehicle structure week and VIN number.
It also contains information about which control modules are installed in the vehicle as well as their hardware, software and serial number. For S40 (-04) and V40 there is only a limited amount of information in the Volvo central database.
In the system structure for software, there are links between control modules and compatible software. The system structure of the software ensures that it is always the latest release of compatible software, which is included in the software package when ordering software re-downloading or upgrades.
