Caring for Leather Seats
The XC40 is the first car I've had with leather seats - and I've gone in at the deep end with Blond leather! I'm not sure what I need to do to look after them. It's only my wife and I who are ever in the car and the mileage is low - in the 5 months we've had it since new, it's done under 1,800 miles...

Re: Volvo Affinity Scheme
I received the discount on top of the dealer discount didn't have to haggle - there are some good Volvo dealers and some really poor ones. Note the affinity discount is on the base price (before tax) - this makes a big difference: for the sake of maths lets say the same discount of 5% is available ...

Re: Waiting for September number plate
Of course, what "makes no difference" when you're buying may be described as making a big difference when selling! On valuation sites such as Parkers, https://www.parkers.co.uk/car-valuation, the value for a 16/06 plate is several hundred pounds less than for a 16/66 plate for exactly the ...

Re: Playlist creator app for XC40 Sensus (JAVA)
I have just discovered that all my careful work setting up tags is simply ignored by the Volvo system, in what is a terrible piece of customer unfriendliness - see the "Gracenote" thread in the Faults forum.

Re: USB Media and GraceNote
I have just discovered this problem too. Having spent ages getting all the tags the way I wanted, I am dismayed/furious that the Volvo system seems to simply ignore them and generate its own, unhelpful index instead - with no way of turning off the guilty Gracenote feature. This is very poor from a ...

Re: Playlist creator app for XC40 Sensus (JAVA)
Just to be clear: I wasn't meaning to suggest my solution is somehow better than others - I just thought I'd offer it to everyone as an alternative for what seems a real problem with how Sensus handles compilations.

Re: Playlist creator app for XC40 Sensus (JAVA)
Sensus seems fine for single-artist albums: one can pick the required genre, then select the artist. If there is just one album by that artist, it is available immediately, if there are more than one by the artist, one can choose the album. But as has been pointed out, for compilation albums it's a ...
