Re: Data sim

I think the car reconnects every time the engine / ignition starts. The globe appears on mine after about 30 secs and the no connection message disappears.

Re: Data sim

My simcard is still locked and I'm still waiting for a callback from volvo. I've just contacted vodaphone to see if it will unlock itself after a period of time, talk about chasing your own tail and they say the sim card has to be registered first and it will then unlock itself.. yeah right. I'll gi...

Re: Data sim

Thanks for the info. It never occurred to me I would have to create an account, I presumed since I had been issued a pin no. this would just activate it.

Re: Data sim

Ok so having owned the car for 6 months I found out only last week that the car has its own sim card, as a result I’ve spent the last week armed with a 4 digit pin no and absolutely no help from the dealer trying to get my globe to spin without any success. Does it spin or just hang there? I’m sure ...

Re: Data sim

Hi sorry but I must have missed something or am probably being really stupid but what's with this 100gb data sim? I picked my new car up at the end of the first lockdown and was basically just given the keys and told to go. I've had no face to face contact with the dealership since so I have not rea...

Heated Wing Mirrors

Hi everyone, quick question how do you know if you've got heated mirrors. I've got a 20 plate new shape R design [no badges or exhaust trim :( ] with a climate pack fitted as one of the options. I'm presuming [hah] that if they were an option it would have been included in this pack, I must have bee...
