I purchased the Volvo Navigation system for my 2001 XC and have been extremely impressed with it. However, I did have one beef and am still looking for resolution. The nav. system requires a cd changer-type component to be installed in the rear driver-side cargo area - the same place the Volvo music CD change would go. This requires a new interior side panel to accomodate access. The cargo space is reduced by about 3 inches with this new panel. One thing that the dealer could not find a replacement part for was the factory carpeted cargo mat. The original no longer fits with the new panel. I've looked on every Volvo lot for V70 or XC with a factory installed CD changer or Nav system to see if the cargo mat has a part number on it. No luck. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. I have pictures of the before and after if anyone is interested.

With the installation fee it cost about $3000. I believe I saw it a bit cheaper at another dealer after I had already purchased it - so shop aroun

Thanks again for you help Matt! I think its a good deal to get the Nav system. I should have got the thing when i ordered my S60 but I was in Puerto Rico and its not mapped. Hey if you want I can try my local dealer for that part you need. I will be in the delership on Monday or Tuesday for service so I will check on that item for you or atleast try to get some type of answer
