The Volvo central database contains information about all Volvo cars in the world from model year 1999.

This includes information about the vehicles configuration, i.e. how the car is equipped, where the car was built, the vehicle structure week and VIN number.

It also contains information about which control modules are installed in the vehicle as well as their hardware, software and serial number.
