Re: XC40 Owned Less than 7 days - Entertainment Failed

Please note that the current Sensus system is windows based and has serious problems.

In the US these Sensus problems have brought Volvo as least dependable brand in the list by Consumer Reports.

On feb the 27th Volvo will introduce the new Sensus based on Android.

UPGRADING THE SOUND SYSTEM

Anybody has experience in upgrading the sound system with a subwoofer?

Any suggestion?

The HK air woofer at high volume rattles in the dashboard and I am looking for a solution.

Re: Can't wait to get rid

I can confirm that on my D3 I have noticed the same issue to a minor level. They really placed the woofer in the worst possible spot where there are so many pieces that can rattle and go in resonance. I am going to contact the dealer to look for a solution. See the picture for an example song that g...

Re: Poll: Lead times ( from order till delivery)

In Italy lead time is improving quickly. Looks like Volvo has suspended the production of the V40 to increase the production of the XC40.
