Re: Dash Cam

My installer conected it to the back of the 12v outlet in the centre console with no problems. Don't suppose he told you how to get to the back of the socket?? Looks quite a difficult thing to do to me... You could follow the installation instructions for the Integrated smartphone , it looks easy e...

Re: Heated seats?

Stupid question but are you sitting in the passenger seat when it's on or are you just checking it with your hand?

Mysterious knocking/rattle

I've noticed a knocking/rattling type sound at low speed (less than 10mph). I can't tell where it is coming from, I think from the rear and perhaps underneath but it's really hard to tell. Maybe I can only hear it at low speed or it only occurs at low speed. I've tried taking everything removable ou...

Re: Harman Kardon Settings

Does anyone else find what I'm assuming is the volume adjustment to be too aggressive? I was listening to a track and it sounded like it was raising and lowering the volume repeatedly because the volume of the track was spiking. Made it sound really weird, like someone was turning a volume knob up a...

Have you ducked down so you can see it? Noticed a lot of reviewers miss it.
I'll take a look, I'd read that space was lost for the RHD version but I'll check. Even still, the glovebox is pretty tiny!

Glovebox - what's the point?

Got my car last week, love it. In my last car (V40) I could fit the service log/manual, two bottles of water, sunglasses, vape case, cloths, wipes, tissues, pens. In the XC40 I'm lucky to get a small bottle of water and a single packet of travel/pocket size tissues (plus a pen in the holder) with th...

Re: Brake groan

I haven't received my XC40 yet but had the exact same thing happen with my V40. Dealer explained it was the hill start assist keeping the brakes applied until the engine is pulling enough so the computer knows you won't roll backward and that perhaps the threshold before the brake is released was ma...

Re: Dash cam - factory fitted

However I regret this now a touch as this system only records when the engine is running/ignition is on thus won’t capture any incidents or knocks when the car is parked. You could always ask them to switch its power source from a switched live to a permanent live. Or depending on how they installe...

Re: Tracking an order

Does anyone know how accurate the dealers information is? Presumably they get this from some Volvo system but I've no idea if I should trust it. I've been told my car is due to be delivered on the 14th, I've no idea how many days they will need for the PDI etc. It's sort of frustrating not being abl...
