I've played video clips on mine, just to try it out really. It seems choosy in which video formats it plays.

I wouldn't want to watch a movieπŸ˜€. I don't think, quite rightly, it works when driving.

More of a gimmick, why would you want to.

Yap, I know of hooks in the ceiling, because many cars have them. Either as additional modules in the "fixings" or as "limps" on passenger handles. But these small hooks I've never seen on any car and they don't obstruct vision that much. Definitely not that much as when you hang your coat on a ceiling hook.
The small hooks are for facemask. Volvo design team thought about everything :lol: :lol: :lol:

Can confirm but seems crazy that Volvo, a company know for safety allows this.

The car's manual says:

"No picture is shown when the car starts to move, but only the audio is played back. The picture is shown again when the car is stationary".

So no safety issues as I can see.

First time ive used the app to start the car while getting ready and it switched the heated driving seat on and the steering wheel heater. Lovely will be using again for sure.
And if you press both mirror switches at the same time it folds both mirrors in.

Well, finally after nearly 3 months ,managed to get a decent journey in. Having driven diesels for the past 6 years I was very surprised to discover my new T3 returned 45 mpg on a 150 mile round trip, exceeding my low expectations.This was truly mixed driving including stop-start around SW London. So far very impressed !

I learnt yesterday, while waiting in the car, that the windows have a "soft start" when opening. If you only press the button a little bit, they wind down slowly for the first couple of inches, (5 cm for our metric buddies lol), then speed up. If you press the button all the way down, they start up at the faster speed straight away. Mind you, all cars might do this, and I've just not noticed before😁😁
