Re: XC40 Remote Start

Hi niteshade. I am from Cyprus and I have also the same issue. Please let me know what they told you from the garage. Hi Leandros When I spoke with the garage, they told me that not all newer batches of cars in Cyprus (XC40, XC60 e.t.c..) have this feature yet and Volvo is aware of the issue. I als...

Re: XC40 Remote Start

Hi all, You must have an automatic transmission for remote start, also some countries it is illegal to start the car remotely so this function is not available in those areas. I’ve attached a screenshot of where remote start is located on the latest version of the Volvo on call app: Hi and Thanks f...

Re: XC40 Remote Start

Hi All

The option to remote start is also missing for me from the App. I also don't remember if this was an optional extra and the sales guy wasn't very helpful. I'll keep digging for info and call the garage. In the meantime, does anyone have any ideas?

Re: Infotainment system failure

There's part of me that's starting to think this sort of issue is almost inevitable with modern computer-controlled systems. There's much to like about them and reliability is excellent, say 99.99%. But that's not 100.000% of course. I expect that I'll have to get used to the very occasional glitch...

Re: Infotainment system failure

I just came across this issue today after 5 months of use. While driving, the centre screen blacked out, quickly followed by the map in the driver display. During the 'blackout', the radio channel changed by itself, the volume level froze and unable to be changed even from the steering wheel, voice ...

Re: Squint Steering Wheel

Hi hdasmith

I have exactly the same problem on my car (5 months old). The steering wheel is aligned anti-clockwise even after a steering wheel alignment.
I'm in Cyprus so the steering wheel is on the right side like the UK.
Was the garage able to find a solution for this?

Keyless Touch sensitive surfaces and Cleaning

Hey Guys I chose keyless locking/unlocking as an extra and as amazingly useful and cool as this feature is, it's annoying during cleaning. The car continuously locks and unlocks itself when wiping the car dry for example. :? One workaround is to unlock the car before cleaning/washing and keep the re...

Re: Eco mode as startup

It's annoying but unfortunately you can't setup a preferred driving mode on startup. I'm hoping a software update in the future will allow it. :?
