Hi peeps
Using the Volvo on call app remote start, seems also to be setting the car alarm off on startup...any clues? Thxs

Yep, me too. Found that if you stop the engine then unlock and then lock the car (all remotely) to kill the alarm remote start works faultlessly second time. I wondered if it might be due to air movement in the car when climate control kicks in. If I get time I might give the dealer a call.

I use remote start most days at the moment and I've not had any issue with the alarm

On another thread, someone found it might be to do with the seat adjusting for the driver profile.

I think my seat only starts to adjust to a saved profile of a "key" when I get to unlock the car and open the door. Not when I use the remote start from the Volvo On-call app.

I’m also having the same problem - seems to be an issue for Volvo to sort?? 🤔
