I like the waste bin and parking ticket windscreen clip! What other manufacturer gives you those?

I for one love my new B3 XC40, although the occasional software glitch is frustrating, but nothing worse than I used to get on my previous 21 plate Merc. I’m especially pleased by the mpg, now being reported in the latest version of the app… :lol:

Loving your average MPG. The release of average MPG information in the latest app update is optimistic at the moment…

Didn't they drop the ticket clip at one point and then reintroduce it?

I had one in my Skoda Yeti.

Where is the app pulling information from for the average mpg? Mine's showing 85.5 at the moment, so pretty poor compared with others! ;)

Tried the remote start this morning, well tried to, but it's asking for a password. How do I set one as it's not accepting my Volvo ID one? After further reading seems it's my phone password etc., is that right?

And what else can be set remotely as the manual is very vague? Heated seats and steering wheel (as per the latest update), heated front and rear screens and mirrors? Do these have to be set in the car's Menu?

I see that you can choose to start the engine or not. How can the cabin temperature be raised without the engine running if you don't have climate control which I assume I don't? I assume I do have to start the engine then?

They did drop it. According to my dealer there was such an outcry that it was swiftly reintroduced!

Chris,
Yes, whatever you use to unlock your phone is required to start the car from the app.
The settings available are in the Climate Control screen in the car. Currently Seats, Steering Wheel (which already worked on mine before the latest OS update) front and rear screens. I believe some countries have a separate heater fitted or is it for EVs? Don't know. But that app option not available not ours.

Yes. Pennies!!!
