Re: New software load incoming

I agree with Krystof, never known it to take 90 minutes, and I always leave the car that can easily be accessed by a recovery vehicle. I once had a flat battery that the Volvo dealer said was probably a software issue, so you can never be too careful!!

Re: Flat battery resulting in need for roadside assistance

My B4 ultimate was only two weeks old and had done about 200 miles when one morning it was completely dead. Got assistance eventually, was told to take the car to the dealer. The Dealer could not offer any explanation other than ‘probably a software issue’. Not happened to me since, but I still get ...

Re: Warning lights

I’ve had two XC 40s and had similar messages. Always rectified when I have switched off, then started up again. Don’t panic, it just needs a reboot.

Re: App not updating location

I’ve had this problem on and off, but never been able to find out why. It eventually corrects itself. Just think the app is not that reliable. Same with other functions, some times they work, sometimes they dont!

Re: Car unlocked and lights on when returning to car

This morning my neighbour came in to tell me my boot was open. I used the car early yesterday and it was definitely locked. My guess is that in the evening whilst the fob was in my pocket I must have touched the button to open the boot. Just be aware! I must get used to taking the keys out of my poc...

Try a reboot? Press and hold the home button for about 20/30 seconds. Worth a try?!

Re: Software update v2.7 OTA released.

You say if the car is unlocked, but I had a similar problem with 2.5, just opened the car and a message came up installation failed, so I started it again. Not sure if your problem is identical but I had two failed installations then success. Not been given the option of 2.7 yet.

Re: Seat Fabric

Just had a close look at my fabric seats. Cannot see anything to not like at the moment, as they are still new. Well made and decent quality.
Happy with the decision not to opt for leather this time. Of course, remains to be seen how they will look after a few months.

Re: Seat Fabric

I had black leather in my previous B4, and it does look good when new, but it doesn’t take long for the drivers seat to get a bit creased, and I’m not that heavy. Also can be a bit hot in the summer. Now have the fibre seats in my Ultimate, and it was my choice to move away from the leather option. ...
