Hi,
i have done the IAM to IHU upgrade and now i want to try replace PHM module.

So the purpose is to get Volvo On Call working as well. I bought a used module from a scrap yard. Used module has former car's software inside.
Is there any way to clear it? I wouldn't want to buy a new one yet because a new module is around €1500 - €1600...

This issue has been discussed many times. To my knowledge volvo will shut down the service for the P3 platform at the end of 2025. It's not going to be possible to renew the service for a period extending into 2026 for the P3 platform. That is what has been communicated by Volvo.

According to the information provided as late as this year, for the SPA-platform, the service will continue to be available for all cars but is limited by hardware. These cars will offer a hardware upgrade solution when the 2G/G3 network is no longer available, but this does not apply to the P3 platform.

.. which if Carried out only if applied to cars on the American market.

There are no such service bulletins to cars sold to the European market, atleast not that I've seen.

The last bulletin I believe is in reference to the SOS eCall service error message that needs to be removed to pass inspections etc.

I can assure you Volvo owners in Sweden have been pursuing the circumstances regarding the shutdown of 3G and VOC services to world's end, and If nothing new has come up the last couple of months VOC is slated for termination at the end of 2025.

So how do we make this to work?
I found this thread but there is no answer.
