Back up camera lines
I have a question about the back up camera. When it's in the rear view, not 360 degree view, it shows two yellow guide lines that show the intended route for the car's external dimensions with the current steering wheel angle. However, there are no distance guide lines between those two lines to ind...

Re: Curious questions
1. As far I understand, fan level and fan speed are two different things in the XC40. As long as the AC is in auto, it will regulate the speed of the fan in order to reach the temperature set. However, you can still increase the fan level as you wish, if you desire a faster warming of the car. For e...

Re: Key Tag - anyone cracked it open?
I love my car... but the key fob is H~U~G~E. Not uncommon with other manufacturers, so not just a Volvo thing. But it has to be said, the Volvo fob is really big. And covered with buttons that are easy to press accidentally. Fortunately, my car has the Conveneince pack so I get the dinky buttonless...

Re: auto hold and stop/start (again?)
Most confused by this. I'm sure when I had my car (September 2018) the stop/start function worked whichever brake was used (footbrake, parking brake or auto hold, which is of course only one of the above 2 options!). In lockdown early 2020 the stop/start stopped working presumably due to low batter...

Re: Onxy Black or Black Stone
I'm quite happy with my Black Stone Inscription. Normally I would be wary of going black in general but the chrome accents, especially the front grill and dual exhaust tips, of the 2020 Inscription, and the sunroof, add enough flair to the car. I'm not sure if I would go with black - be it metallic ...

Re: VolvoOnCall HomeAssistant Integration
Sounds very useful but it looks like the rest of the forum is with me in not understanding what needs to be done for this integration to work I guess we would need a Raspberry Pi computer?

Re: ACC/BLIS are magic!
Here is my experience: I am well aware of the situations when ACC/PA can get confused or be slow, and in those instances I take full control. An example to this is light traffic in the city - where I live, drivers will almost always cut in front of me while ACC is picking up pace sedately. Bumper to...

Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.
He may be talking about the regular key fob, since you can't open the waterproof key tag, see the battery etc. It's seriously impressive if the regular key fob is waterproof/resistant though!

Re: Pre-Conditioning & the mystery of the Parking Heater
If you have a recharge hybrid you can use the Parking Climate when the car is on charge. Full scheduling options for this via the VOC app too. Remote Start when not plugged in. Oh the lucky ones :) Us peasants will have to make do with remote start :( Just kidding, I'm infinitely grateful to have s...

Re: Pre-Conditioning & the mystery of the Parking Heater
Hi Just got my new 2019 Xc40 and having the same fun with working out what I think is called preconditioning - (sorry if I’m going over old ground...) all I would like to do is warm the car inside on cold mornings prior to driving .. do I need to set timers etc or just activate the remote start fro...
