Hello - I was told that the red key fob can be used for "digital sharing" of the car (I am in the US). To do so, according to the salesperson and the manual, I would send an "invitation" through the Volvo on Call app to the person I wanted to give permission to use my car. I have yet to find anyone who can tell me where this invitation sharing button is on the app. The salesman can't help me, Volvo on Call, doesn't know...but it is in the manual. I have a Samsung Note 8 if that makes a difference.
Well... here is the link to the instructions ....

but not sure it's that helpful.
I'm in the UK but can't see the "share button" in the app that is referenced but then I don't think car share is active in the UK yet. Is it active in the US?

Definitely no Share function in the App here in the UK. Can’t order a delivery to my boot (trunk) yet either!

Everyone seems to have the instructions but no one can find the actual button. Haha From what I'm told, the car share is active but I don't think anyone is using it because they can't find the button!Boomer wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 5:07 pm Well... here is the link to the instructions ....

This function can be used in the UK but due to insurance rules will not be used much. Because you have to leave a key in the car if it was stolen, in the UK you would not be insured. There is a large UK company who use this function for staff flying into the country as they can be sent codes to pick up a pool car left at an airport by another staff member and cars can be rotated that way very efficiently. It saves them so much in hire cars that it is worth self insuring the potential theft of a car due to the technology which is very low.
I wasn’t aware you had to leave a key in the car for this feature.Volvoboy wrote: ↑Mon Oct 22, 2018 10:14 pm This function can be used in the UK but due to insurance rules will not be used much.

I thought you just sent a code to a friend / family member who has Volvo on call app on their phone. They then enter the code on the sensus screen to enable the car.
