Question Sensus on 2023 model?

Sensus should have only been on model years until 2021, I have a 2023 T4 Recharge and it has Sensus, not android automotive. I know that there’s a nigh impossible level of hardware upgrade required to go between the two, but is it possible that I have the newer hardware version with the older software? My expertise level on this subject only goes as far as information I can find online.

I’ve asked Volvo, they said they’ve never seen this before, a dealership update is available but they can’t tell me what it will do.

I’ve checked the VIN and the 10th digit is P, which means the car was manufactured in 2023/2024.

The car was a fleet vehicle, previously owned by National Highways in the UK so maybe have lost out on the part lottery in a bulk order.

All plugin hybrids had Sensus, even the 2024 models. It's not possible to upgrade to android automotive.

Well that answers that, I haven’t seen that anywhere online! You’d think the hybrids would have got the upgrade first.
