Re: What is missing from your MY21

Thanks for the document, Neil! Do you know how to the week the car was built? I'm still trying to find a VIN decoder for the XC40, but I can't find one online that works with the new Volvo format. Regarding folding the headrests, my understanding is became part of the convenience package. Have you s...

Re: What is missing from your MY21

One thing missing on my car (Inscription Pro + Lounge pack + versatility + driver assist) is that to lower the backrests in the rear seat you now have to do it manually. The buttons on the cargo area are gone.

Re: VolvoOnCall HomeAssistant Integration

Let me break it down. 1. I can close the door, but not the windows. I rarely open the windows, so the chances of leaving them open are really small. 2. Regarding the SSID, that's really simple. Once you install the companion app on your mobile device, you start sending lots of data to hassio, includ...

Re: VolvoOnCall HomeAssistant Integration

Hi, I'm an avid Hassio user and I've integrated the VOC API with it. Here are some automations that I have created to make my life a bit easier: 1. When I get closer to home, porch and garage lights turn automatically on. 2. If my next appointment distance is greater than the current range (it pulls...

Delivery Checklist

Hi Everyone,

On Wednesday I will receive my car. Based on your experience, is there something that I should pay attention to during the delivery?

Thanks!

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

@MOADAM,

Did you buy from a Volvo exclusive dealer or a multi-brand one? My understand is that if you buy from a Volvo dealer, those numbers are reliable with just a couple of days of margin.

Re: Build Times

I just called my dealership to confirm that the delivery date is still the same and I mentioned your case. He told me that, from what he heard, this is happening to dealerships that are not exclusive Volvo partners. Is that the case?

Re: Build Times

I consider this to be unacceptable. I agree that the excuse of not being able to track it down is horses**t: Volvo uses JIT supply chain and in order to achieve this you have to be able to track down a single screw to make sure that everything is working as it should. On the other hand, I know that ...

Re: Can You Believe This?

I would never expect an Audi or Porsche to share a center console display assembly from a VW Golf! They actually share a lot of components and parts! A couple of years ago I found a website where you could find replacement parts that are compatible between different models and manufacturers. It was...

What feature you forgot to add?

When configuring my car I didn't bother adding the climate pack because we don't use the back seats. The problem is that I didn't see that this means heated steering wheel is also gone. As it gets colder by the day, I'm sure I will deeply regret it in the very near future. What about you? Did you fo...
