Re: VOC aka Volvo Cars App

Just a thought folks, when I sell my current car will I still be able to unlock and start it from the app? Sounding the horns and flashing the lights might be fun too ;) If the new owner doesn’t sign up and use the app with his car then probably yes! I could do that now with my previous BMW as the ...

Re: Items gone from new models

My MY21 r-design has both the lock and cooling for the glovebox, even though these were not listed as features on the price list at the time. They were never shown in the price lists and don’t have VDN feature codes. Could your MY21 perhaps be an early one which started build as a MY20 or just bene...

Needs the PRO for front LED fog lights I think.

Looks like that disappeared after MY20.

Same for the lock on the glovebox.

Re: No more heated windscreen? (Recharge Pure)

Could it be a problem, perhaps with power capacity? Are there many pure electric cars from other manufacturers that come with a heated windscreen? Good point.

Re: No more heated windscreen? (Recharge Pure)

By the way, having seen several posts talking about the apparently increasing uncertainty of knowing exactly what is included in a vehicle spec/config once ordered, it should be straightforward to ask the dealer for a full list of the VDN codes. These define each standard & optional extra featur...

Re: No more heated windscreen? (Recharge Pure)

I've been a T5 First Edition owner back when they first came out and one feature I've found really useful in frosty weather has been the heated windscreen. I've been looking into a fully electric XC40 and have noticed as part of recent updates to the specification (in the UK at least), they seem to...

👏 No surprise it beat those three.
