Default need help to change from miles to kilometers

I bought my XC90 2 years ago in the USA and just went back to europe with the car.
now my odometer shows both - miles and kilometers.
but in the digital readings there is only miles stated.
how can I change this?
the service guy here tells me, that I need to invest appx. 450 EURO's for such a change/update.

I cannot believe and think, that this is only a reset or button combination (this was the fact with my second car).

who can help?
any canadian's who had to change this?

also my FM radio only let's me jump every other digit. e.g. 88.1, then 88.3, 88.5 and so on.
how can I go to even no's?

thank you for your help!

roman

BTW: next week I will get the european navigation DVD's. I hope that there is not the next problem appearing...

Software will be needed to change the message center and the mileage on vehicle to KM (EXPANSIVE) . A new instrument cluster will be needed to change to KM/h reading on speedometer. FM radio u may have to download software for euro radio setting.

thank you for the answer.
I was told the same by volvo in the meantime.

how about my US navigation system.
I bought the EURO navigation DVD set,and it seems to navigate correct.
just there is no sound.

I guess, as I have a english firmware on the DVD player, I cannot select a german speaking language.
and I didn't find "english" to choose in the euro software.

any recommandations?
don't want to buy a new player (expensive!)
