Re: loan to larger model for short period

Thanks Chris, I don’t see it now either. I thought it came standard. Maybe wishful thinking.

loan to larger model for short period

I may be going crazy here, but I think I remember when originally ordering my XC40 at launch, Volvo offered the ability to loan a larger model if needed for up to 10 days per year at no charge. Does anyone remember this? Is it even a thing? I rang Volvo today and they had no clue what I was talking ...

High performance mode - display

Not sure if this is normal but when I set the drive mode to ‘high performance’ the main dials do not change colour. I would have thought setting it to this mode would also change the Speed and rev counter to that mode too. Is this normal, or is there a setting I’m missing for it to automatically cha...

Re: On Call App

I guess when the car starts remotely, the heater also kicks in to get to your normal preset temp.
Additionally , I use the app to send my destination to the cars satnav before I leave the house. Works great. Just get in and go.

Re: Sensus to mobile data connection

When you have a sim installed in the car, do you need to also connect your phone to its Wi-fi to get internet connection to your phone. Even when connected via CarPlay or can you still use your phones own data for internet?

Re: Best Value Data SIM

I just went with a 20gb rolling monthly contract from 3 which costs £23 a month. Although I’m not convinced it’s going to be enough. It would be plenty for just me streaming music and for the additional traffic info it pulls in, but with two kids watching youtube as well, it went through 2gb of data...

Re: USB Ports

I think your right WilliamTM. Just getting a Usbc to lightning might be the best option in the end. Would have liked a dual usb option in the back. But, hay Ho.

Re: USB Ports

Hmm. I’m just a bit worried these will stick out a bit far and the kids will knock against it, snapping that adapter and breaking the usb-c port at the same time.
