Re: Wireless charging symbol

Yes, I’ve experienced the same post annual service although like you say, the phone still charges but it was handy confirmation that it was working, a backward step !

Re: Dashcams Again

Hi there, I’ve ran my XC40 with a Nextbase 512 for the last 15 months, sited just to the left of the central radar cluster without any issues whatsoever !

Re: Which Fuse for Dashcam Hardwire ?

Well, having looked more closely at options I stumbled across a camera mode called “Parking Mode” which actually requires use of a permanent supply. The camera then automatically reverts to standby after a few minutes when it doesn’t detect movement, ie when you park up and switch off the ignition, ...

Re: Which Fuse for Dashcam Hardwire ?

The fuse box is located under the passenger seat, move seat as far forward and high as possible then go into it via the rear door, it’s under the carpet although there is a flap for access. Ironically the manual shows a picture with an arrow from the front which had me puzzled initially !

Which Fuse for Dashcam Hardwire ?

Picked up my T4 Inscription Pro last week, just spent the morning installing my Nextbase 512GW Dashcam, basic install went fine with wiring well hidden behind trim and no issues. Tried various fuses under passenger seat but only seem to have picked up permanent feed rather than a switched supply, no...

Order Placed, Let The Waiting Game Commence.

Well, finished playing the model/spec/options game and placed an order for a T4 Inscription Pro with as many options as possible to get me within a smidge of the £40k chancellors road tax rip-off limit. Anyone know how long from placement of order before you usually get a likely delivery date ? Deal...

Re: Hard Choices, T5 or T4 with “extras” ?

Thanks for the views so far, I guess the main issue for me is how noticeable the power difference is between them. Talk of less than impressive economy versus claims by Volvo doesn’t really bother me, in any case those stats don’t differ greatly between the two. The “options” aren’t game changers an...

Hard Choices, T5 or T4 with “extras” ?

Hi everyone, I am soon to be a first time Volvo buyer and about to place an order for an Inscription-Pro petrol model but not sure whether to go full-fat T5 with a few extras or stick with a T4 and a even more extras. Question to put out there is, is the extra cost for the T5 worth it over the T4 en...
