Re: T5 Recharge charging time

Cold weather masssively reduces your range. The best thing I found with mine was to use the preheat function while it's still plugged in and get the car and the battery warmed up before you leave. it will improve it a bit. During the warmer months you will notice a vast improvement in range. I've go...

Re: Reverse Camera v 360 view

Ok well at least I know I'm not going mad!

I'll send soe feedback to volvo whether they listen or not is anybody's guess. just an option to choose default would do. I do use the overhead view but personally I'd rather start in reverse cam and the switch if needed.

Re: What the App doesn't show

The inbuilt Volvo on Call integration doesn't appear to work with AAOS cars at the moment so I used volvo2mqtt which is a bit more involved to setup. https://github.com/Dielee/volvo2mqtt That's the one I've been trying to configure but it keeps telling me that my config settings are wrong. I'll kee...

Re: What the App doesn't show

I was intrigued by the Volvo public API and so spent a few hours adding my car to Home Assistant. All the hard work has been done by others so fairly straightforward process. There's a lot of information that is of questionable benefit but I created my own dashboard with the information that could ...

Re: Sending "round trip" from app to car?

I can't say for certain that it saves them as recent's but I think it might. I tend to use Waze more than the incar nav as it occasionaly has some weird routings and isn't always up to date with roadworks. downside is it doesn't optimise battery usage, but then I'll put it on hold once I@m cruising ...

Re: Sending "round trip" from app to car?

to do a round trip you can set your final destination as back at home with a waypoint as your mid destination (all has to be done in car) however.......... I've found that if you stop and turn the engine off at your mid destination then it treats that as end of journey. you can then of course set ho...
