I think it is the same as the S80. Open the boot, look to your left (Nearside) not much further from the brake light and you will see a switch that you turn this open's/removes the boot fabric panel.

The Sat Nav Changer and box is behind there, turn the car on and you will be able to swap the CD's.

Your dealer's parts department can order them in. Be aware they are very pricey at about £300

I think they have reduced the costs of them, about £100 last time checked.

Unfortunately it won't work, it runs on a different system from the radio, and the changer cannot decode dvd's/cd's e.t.c (Depending on your system).

Some people have bought a convertor, which you have to splice into the NAV wiring and that allows you to watch DVD's through the system.

sat nav upgrade disks come out each year froom volvo, at about £100 or so.

with aftermarket DVD/screen head units kits you put the green wire straight to an earth instead of the handbrake which they tell you to do in the instructions (which go's to earth when handbrake is on) and get round it that way. not got a clue how you would do it with the volvo one though, obviously they are designed to not be watched while moving.

Here is one example:

This one allows TV on a non TV nav set:
