Re: Volvo Assistance vs RAC/AA

Mark - Thanks a lot for the detailed response!

On the card Volvo gave me (attached), it mentions Onward Travel, so I would have thought that would be part of the offering...

Hello, I have Volvo Assist as part of my car servicing package. This includes Roadside Recovery, At Home Recovery, European Cover, etc. I also have RAC coverage as part of my Bank service.

Air Con turns on at Startup

Hello,

My AC turns on at LOW cool automatically each time I press start and turn the car's engine on. Not great as winter approaches.
Is there any way I can turn this feature off so the air con does not turn on at startup?

This seems to have only started happening recently.


Thanks,
Raza

Main Screen and Dash Screen Dim

Hi All,

I've noticed that every now and then, both the main console and dash screens go a bit dim while I'm driving. This can be during the day or night and makes it quite difficult to see the screen sometimes.

Has anyone else faced a similar issue?

Re: Wireless Apple CarPlay

Does this require your car to already have Apple Car Play installed for it to work?

Re: The magic 50mpg

That's amazing. I took mine in for a service today as I'm getting an average of around 25MPG!! I have a T4 Petrol Inscription Pro. I was told, "That's about average for a petrol car in city driving" by the Volvo garage. MPG was one of the reasons why I bought the car as it was advertised a...

I drive maybe 10 - 15 miles a day, usually doing the school run in stop start traffic. I always drive in Eco mode and my AC use is either on a low setting or not used ...

Re: Apple Car Play retrofit

Nope google maps will be only Be shown on the bottom half of the main screen. Thanks for confirming. I'm just not happy enough with Volvo's maps. Their ability to display heavy traffic on your route seems a bit hit and miss - sometimes it shows me the red lines for heavy traffic, sometimes it doesn...

Re: Apple Car Play retrofit

Does anyone know when using Apple Car Play if Google Maps is shown on both the main screen as well as the driver's dash display?
