Does anyone know if you can fit & the cost of adaptive cruise control after purchase. I’m 10 months in and this was something I wanted but chose against. The steering wheel has the all the buttons, and I’m wondering it’s a feature they turn on rather than actually needing more parts fitted?

It’s on the website as an option for automatic cars. I don’t know the cost, you’d have to ask the dealer. I think it also switches on pilot assist. It should just be a software update and hardware calibration, I think the hardware’s all there.

I’m pretty sure you can only get it as part of the Pilot Assist as I was looking at having it fitted myself.
Just had a go in a V90 with it fitted and can see the value for motorway driving but not so much anywhere else.
If the adaptive cruise was available on its own for a more reasonable price I would have gone for it.

It's listed as an accessory, so it looks like's do-able. You need a hydraulic unit, so there are hardware differences:

Having had ACC on my current car, I wouldn't be without it now. I use it all the time.

Unfortunately that link doesn’t work, but good find about the hydraulic unit - whatever that does (part of the power steering?). I thought it was all there anyway for lane keep assist.

Got quoted over 2k for the retrofit for ACC from a Volvo dealership in Toronto.
