Re: Anyone else think the reversing light is not bright enough.

It's at least a comfort that I am not alone in thinking it is a little too low on the linens to be effective. Will pose the question to my local dealership.

Re: Volvo XC40 Vs Kia Sorento?

XC60 will have a proven record for safety etc. XC40 still in proving out in the world as far as insurance goes. But i can unfortunately vouch for how good the safety systems and structures are in the XC40 thanks to a polish van driver.

Re: Anyone else think the reversing light is not bright enough.

Bob is that why you have a car with a tow bar? :-) Its not supposed to just be an indicator as far as i am aware. How else are ypu supposed to see obstacles in a dark environment when reversing. Not expecting floodlights. But as the nights have drawn darker it is becoming a concern as having to supp...

Anyone else think the reversing light is not bright enough.

Re: New Spotify Update - Can No Longer Save Songs To Library

Dealer is not able to revert or reinstall older version of the app. All bulletins and tech sheets have been removed from Volvo engineering systems. Apparently this happens when subject can become a hot topic. So we are left waiting for Volvo and or Spotify to sort the app. I'm not going to hold my b...

Re: Latest Spotify update breaks Spotify access

Have requested the dealer to back out the change or factory reset to see if it fixes the issue. Disgusting behavior from both Volvo and Spotify as both blamed each other.

Re: Latest Spotify update breaks Spotify access

Spoke to Volvo CC here in UK they deny any responsibility directed me to Spotify. Guess who Spotify tell me is responsible and washed their hands of the problem. now the question is who exactly makes and manages these apps? Going to ask dealer if I can revert the app or factory reset the census. Wil...

Re: New Spotify Update - Can No Longer Save Songs To Library

Don't hold you breath.Volvo blame Spotify, Spotify blame Volvo. Going to ask dealer to got back to previous version then I'm never updating it. Disgraceful update removes all useful functionality.

Latest Spotify update breaks Spotify access

Just took the latest update, now i cannot add tracks to my library, albums and artists no longer appear. Have taken it off, cleared dara, tried all sorts. Spotify on phone and tablet working as expected.

So i would avoid this update.
