Went to the dealer today to get some stuff fixed that was prearranged before I agreed to buy the car.

Hung with my trusty 900 series mechanic (changing an AC compressor on a 1999 v70) while someone else worked on mine. Just before things wrapped up I asked my guy about the odometer. He said, "tell the other mechanic to check for a software update". I went to the other service bay and asked the other mechanic if it was a possible I was having this problem with the trip odometer or was I was crazy. He smiled back at me and told me I was not crazy. He said there was a software fix for it. Then he told me I should be glad I didn't buy an s80 ... everything is software on that car. He said he loaded the update.

Later, my salesguy laughed. He says the mechanics always say it's a software update and service charges a fortune to hook you up.

I'll keep you posted ......
