Re: New car insurance
You can apply for it online but it's easier to let your dealer set it up on your behalf. It's all very convenient, makes it easy for dealership to tax your car (they get direct access to documents) & it's very good cover. However, it is a bit dearer and, by accepting the 5 day cover, you're leav...

Re: Hello everybody - Just got the "Your new car is being prepared" email
Thanks but....just noticed, you're clearly not in UK?? (Based on your packs description). Think this depends on importers. UK used to have a tracking app but they stopped it.

Re: Volvo On Call / Volvo ID
Hi. Did you ever get this sorted? I was just having a search as this is first time I will be having a SIM in the car modem. Volvo says you must NOT be using modem for Sensus when setting up VOC. Note also it says you should switch on ignition without starting engine & give VOC button one quick p...

Re: Ask for numberplate if ordering towbar
When I ordered mine..I did ask cheekily when they are printing the number plates could they do an extra rear one...and they did! Yup, same for me. I only asked as a little P.S. on an email - shocked to find I wouldn't have got if I hadn't asked, should be industry standard. Petty penny-pinching. If...

Ask for numberplate if ordering towbar
Just a heads up that some dealers (mine :evil: ) don't automatically include extra rear number plate, even if you have dropped > £1k on a towbar. I know nobody gives a flying fox over the cost of a plate but, given the tedious requirements for obtaining extra plates, it's very very sad that you may ...

Re: Hello everybody - Just got the "Your new car is being prepared" email
Congrats, hope you're enjoying your new car. Ordered my V60CC 2/7 and, all being well, collect Monday - seems like Belgium & Sweden factories have similar timelines. But..........an email????? This is my 2nd Volvo & they've never treated me to an email. I had ZERO communication until dealer ...

Re: Prospective owner - A few queries first
Hi Andy, looks like the good folks of this forum have covered most of your questions but, if I may, I'd add the following comments: 1) I assume you're looking to buy new? If so, yes, the key fobs now have motion sensor - a big security improvement. New type keys can be ordered for older models but, ...

Re: Heated windscreen - am I missing something?
I've always hated the idea of heated windscreens due to possible refractions but, ended up with one on my Inscription Pro without speccing an extra pack. Have to say, it doesn't distract at all but.....have only used it in 2 scenarios: 1) Whilst using eco mode on a cold & damp day. Eco turns dow...

Re: Pilot assist in crawling traffic - your opinion?
Agree with comments above - you really won't regret going auto. Pilot Assist is not just great on motorway - it's also a boon for something like a 40mph stretch of dual carriageway and, with an auto, it will cope with slowing traffic, right down to standstill. Also, as stated, remote start becomes a...

Re: Software Upgrading and Service Costs
Although I should also add that, in life, it's sometimes worth deciding what hills to die on. Apart from fewer annoying map update messages, there's not a lot to get excited about in the past 12 months - even less so if you recently had the recall. https://www.volvocars.com/sg/support/topics/mainten...
