Here is the thing.
Let's say your car came with HK AUD from factory and you want to upgrade officially. According to parts catalog the xxxxx B&W AUD part number fits to S60 (your model year).
But this does not mean VIDA will reload a B&W AUD on your car! You can order the software but before installing it, VIDA checks your new B&W AUD number and if it does not match to the catalog of your VIN number in VOLVO database, it won't install. So, before purchasing anything new go to the dealer and ask. Let them do the job. They might have way of getting around it. You can also take the risk but remember, only VOLVO factory knows which HW is for which VIN. Even dealers makes mistakes and order wrong part number or variants.
Or, just buy a used one and keep your original AUD. every time you visit the dealer or connect VIDA, just connect it to power socket and MOST and leave it on the top of B&W AUD.
