I was an avid fan of Sony TVs for years until they switched from their own OS to Android TV. I will never buy Sony or any other Android based TV again, IMHO Android TV is so slow and the interface so user unfriendly with so many bugs and updates. It’s just a huge compromise, a jack of all trades but...

Had an interesting discovery today. I have been using a CTEK MXS 5.0 trickle changer on the car since new but the battery has never seemed fully charged and the stop start rarely functioned , perhaps not surprising given the lack of use due to Covid. I needed a second trickle charger for my motorbi...

Yes. My previous insurer countered this by quoting £250 excess if you use their approved repairers, £500 excess if you don’t thus nullifying the Volvo voucher.

I've been trying to get some stubborn marks off the windscreen since taking delivery in December. When the screen is dry you can't see anything, but as soon as it gets damp the streaks appear, and they're not subtle, stretching from the top where they're widest (the worst nearly 10cm wide), and thi...

I recommend Viofo dashcam. Been using them for the last 5 yrs. The one in my XC40 has worked perfectly since I fitted it on day one of ownership (Oct 2018) with no issues whatsoever with the cars sensors. It’s fitted right at the top of the screen, about 35mm to the left of the sensor binnacle. From...

I've just nstalled the V1333 update from a USB stick. I failed to note the start time but it took no more than 75 minutes, which seems very slow when I can copy a 1GB file to my PC in less than a minute. Nevertheless, this time is acceptable in normal driving and I suppose the reason for this letha...

I’m thinking of purchasing an extra key for my XC40, one of the new motion sensing ones.
Has anyone already done this and if so, how much did it cost?

I have enquired at my local dealer but not had a reply yet, wondering if there is any regional variation in price...

Come on Volvo, catch up. Feels like we have gone back to dial up internet😢 Mine just stays up-to-date by itself, I presume via the onboard SIM. I don't know why other people are getting bogged down with specific updates, file sizes, USB sticks and home WiFi. Yes, mine used to do that. Updated all b...

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but if I connect the car to my house Wi-fi, why can’t it download maps directly to the car. And why can’t the car stay connected to the Wi-fi while downloading maps if it needs to? Come on Volvo, catch up. Feels like we have gone back to dial up internet😢 You can...

Hey I’m trying to do the map update 1326 (which now turns out to be 1333). Anyway, it got me thinking. I’ve downloaded the update onto a USB 3.0. The theoretical transfer speed is 600MBs. The transfer rate for a USB-C flash drive is 1500 MBs. So my question is this. Can you plug a USB-C flash drive...
