Hello,
I’ve had my XC40 for about 3 weeks now and I am loving it so far!
Once thing that I am a bit disappointed though is the list of available apps to download and install
If I go to the download manager and search for new apps I get an empty list all fo the time
On the installed apps I can only see: Spotify, VOlvoID, Local Search, Weather, TunIn, Glympse, Park and Pay, Wiki Location, Yelp and Record&Send
I tried to uninstall one (Yelp) and now this is the only one that appear as new app to download and install
I tried to search for apps:
- while do it tethering from the phone
- while running android auto
- and now with the Sim card installed in the car
Still nothing
Is it the same for everybody?
I was hoping to have more of the apps that appear as Android Auto apps on GooglePlay
What should I do to get access to the rest of the android auto apps?
Some of them like Youtube or Whatsapp I have them already installed on my phone but can’t find them in the car
Sensus Navigation - can't find new apps
I don’t see any other Sensus apps either.
There is a difference between those & Android Auto/CarPlay apps. Things you have installed on your phone are not necessarily compatible with Android/CarPlay. For CarPlay a google search will get you a list of compatible apps, I presume there is something similar for Android

I believe I was getting confused with the Sensus and the Android/Carplay apps
It seems that the Sensus apps are the same and very limited to everybody...
When it comes to the Android/Carplay apps, I checked and the ones I have installed on my phone are meant to be compatible (like whatsapp to mention one) but they don't appear when I start Android auto in my car. Other do, like Telegram, but not other and I can't find a way to add them

I’m CarPlay myself, so not able to get into Android workings, but just to try and check the obvious thing first - have you tried swiping left on the Sensus screen where the Android apps are laid out to see if the apps are on a second page?
