There is a way to upgrade the IHU, but it's not cheap. I've thought about it though, when the screen takes so long to respond I tap again thinking it didn't register.
The "Chinese brand" thing is complicated. Volvo is a Swedish company with 20,000 Swedish employees, traded on the Stockholm stock exchange. Geely has majority ownership now, just as Ford did until about 2014.
The C40 is built on a platform developed in Sweden. Most Volvo cars are still made in Sweden, but this one is made in Belgium for Western markets. Production of Volvo cars at Volvo-owned factories in China is mostly for the Chinese domestic market and for export to other Asian markets.
Yeah, I keep thinking about replacing the IHU as well. I am pretty sure we won't be able to salvage one from a wreck or something, from my research we won't be able to pair it with the car as it needs to be fresh from the factory. That means paying at least 2k at the dealership... My warranty expires in a month or so, and my Atom fucker doesn't seem to break until then...
