Hello All

T3 XC40 going in for first service soon. I've had issues with the whole infotainment and dashboard screens going blank, except for speedo, for a few seconds and then rebooting (car drives OK) so I've asked them to do a software update. Volvo websites lists several vehicle software updates since we got the car (and I don't mean maps or apps, those I've updated myself).
But I can't see anyway to check software versions of the vehicle firmware? Anyone know? Want to make sure the dealer does do the software update.

Thanks!

As far as I am aware there is no way of checking the version yourself unfortunately, you just have to trust the dealer…

I had the same experience in 2020 with a dealer software update introduced bug in the system. They had it in again but it did not fix it and I have complained to the service manager to no avail. I understand it is quite common now and is connected with using the DAB radio.

I was asked not to use DAB. Come on Volvo this is supposed to be a premium car!

About to book this years service so will be tacking them again.
