Re: 2021 Sensus - no traffic info?

3 SIM works fine. Just plug in and the green, orange or red lines will border monitored roads. Latest satnav update requires USB stick refresh. 24 Gb data is plenty, you will not use it all in two years. I have just started my 3rd SIM after 4 years.

Re: Sensus Map 1380 now available...

Just downloaded latest version which went smoothly. Unfortunately the confusing Welsh 20 mph limit has not been recorded. Just followed a fire engine with blue lights and siren rushing to emergency at 20mph. Unfortunately he had missed the 30 mph sign so probably his satnav has not been updated

Re: New B4 plus - what questions should I ask on delivery

All above useful but sports key is useful, not for sport but because of its size. The tag slips into now almost empty wallets and becomes one less thing to forget or misplace. After 2 or so years it can be gently opened with a Stanley knife or similar, the standard battery replaced and fob taped tog...

Re: Sensus Map 1380 now available...

Similar here, 1386 downloaded by integral car net but installation failed with message that report sent. I installed via USB for the first time and it was successful. Local mapping error was still shown so I wonder sometimes what is the point of constant updates. My excuse was it was raining and gav...

Re: De-Badging?

I have found soaking with WD 40 and then removing the badge with flat plastic strapping, sometimes found on parcels, always works for me. I started doing this when I had an early turbo V70 or 740 which was supposed to be a red rag to the villains.

Re: Speeding summons

I was caught a few weeks ago on a rural road with boomerang speed limits. Limit changes continually 30 to 40 to 50 and down again for no apparent reason. I missed the last one. I am taking the course to avoid 3 point and insurance hike afterwards. The course is now on Zoom and will be next week. I h...

Re: Internet Maps, android auto & HereWeGo

Researched it further and Windows Phone 'Volvo on Call App' works in Windows 10 and sends to car. Fine I notice Windows 10 app uses Here and Windows 'Volvo on Call' Maps is powered by Google. Perhaps change of supplier recently. Age is catching up with me which is why I find sitting at a desk when r...
