Re: Sensus screen touch sensitivity

Speculation is a good thing & it's always good to look at something from every angle but.........I've spent my life designing systems & a touch is (usually) just a touch. Differentiation between a long or short press is commonplace and, to be fair, Sensus does have this (try moving icons aro...

Re: Sensus screen touch sensitivity

I just got issued a new work phone running android and am dismayed with how bad AA works so frustrating and dangerous. It’s even worse when coming from car play which worked like a dream. Regretfully, have to agree with you 100%. I'm a huge Android fanboy & can't get on with IOS but, even I hav...

Re: VOLVO REVEALS GLOBAL INTEGRATION OF SPOTIFY

Doesn't sound (pun intended) good to me. Nice to use full screen and.....Great where reception is strong. However, I prefer to stick with what I've got, which is a phone with 512gb storage & all my favourite Spotify content downloaded at highest resolution - can't stand the usual buffering and/o...

Re: A key question?

P.S: Just to clarify before I dissappear, when I say "no longer available" I mean no longer listed as an accessory.

I just received one with my 2021 V60CC, no idea how long this will continue for.

Re: A key question?

Beware the sports key. Haven't read up yet but presume it works as a remote walk-up key??? Thought it would suit me perfectly for everyday use so asked dealer how much to replace when battery flat...........no longer available.....when it's gone it's gone!!! Thinking about it, this maybe a good thi...

Re: A key question?

Probably my last post here as I have just changed my car but.... Agree with @blisteringblue in that care key is automatically assigned to a profile. I had an, erm, interesting time trying to store my settings on the way home with all 3 keys in my pocket. Beware the sports key. Haven't read up yet bu...

Re: Driver Display

Do you just mean the seats picture in general or red seats to say no seat belt? My car (delivered March 2019) has no rear seat sensors. However, ever so occasionally, with no rhyme nor reason, the interior display does persist on the screen. As you say, OK clears it but, for me it is an occasional t...

Re: High Def Audio

Though I would add there is probably little quality control with the standard speakers. I can only tell you what I hear in my car which is that the rear door speakers are really muddy & sound blown. Another car maybe completely different.

Re: High Def Audio

Whilst I'm no expert - quite clearly the audio system(s) have to incorporate a DAC........there are, as you rightly presume, no analogue inputs. As for the remainder of your question, I won't even attempt to address your concerns. If you're (over)thinking audio at this level, you've chosen the wrong...

Re: New car insurance

Yes, UK in my case. There really shouldn't be an issue here as we've had M.I.B. (Motor Insurers Database) for a while now & dealer should have electronic access. However, there have been teething problems as some insurance companies stumbled with getting their systems fully compliant. You can so...
