Re: Remote start - what a God send

I don't understand why I don't have access to this functionality in Cyprus. Is it a market restriction?

I can only use the parking climate, that does basically nothing.

Re: Software Upgrading and Service Costs

Thank you for this info Jools. As Volvo confirmed, it is up to each service center to decide whether this is a chargeable service or not. I fail to see the reasoning behind this, but in any case it is easier to change brand loyalty rather than one of their policies. Obviously my concern is not the s...

Re: Software Upgrading and Service Costs

Hi BxUKXwp6CZ01, I had the issue of both screens turning off and no system sound coming out (i.e. left/right signals). I realized that this was an issue with having android phone connected and it was fixed with the first (free) system update. @ChrisS777 please keep me posted on this. Honestly, I am ...

Re: Software Upgrading and Service Costs

Thank you for your comments. I already collected the car "fully updated". It's actually my second consecutive Volvo and I am well aware of their service rates. The update rate though was new to me and I have to admit it got me a lot angrier than it should. The service manager said that Vol...

Software Upgrading and Service Costs

Hello all So my 2018 XC40 went in for its 2nd service. Out of warranty now (only 2 years in Cyprus) the local service center told me that they charge €26 for upgrading the software to the latest version!!! Does that make sense to you or I am excused to be furious about this practice? Also for refere...

Re: What petrol engine should I choose T3,T4 or T5

The real world consumption of my T4 is a bit disappointing, but otherwise it's a nice choice if you are not doing many kms.

XC40 - T4 - Inscription - Denim Blue - White Interior - Detailed

Just picked it up from the detailer, so it is the best time to take a few pictures. A range of GYEON products were applied to the car, inside, outside and on the wheels. Treated well, the paint protection should last more than 5 years and the extra glossiness really suits the color in my opinion. 1....

Re: XC40 T4 Inscription - Denim Blue

Very pleased with it. Punchy engine in Dynamic, smooth ride around town.

Got a few surprises though:
+ Heated seats are standard on inscription
- Android auto is not yet available for Cyprus
/ The cloth part of the seats is more gray than beige
