    Google maps with satellite view now available

    There was only one thing that I regretted not having when choosing XC90 over Q7, but not anymore... This is CarPlay on iOS 12, I?m also waiting for Waze, but apparently Google now owns Waze, so they updated their own app first Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is your data download working?

    Looks like you need to take your car to the dealer to "update" it, as far as Waze it will be included in iOS 12 CarPlay so hopefully just a few more days, I am waiting too, of course you get it from Apple, not Volvo. Lincoln/Ford probably has the native Waze app too, that's why they advertise...

    Dealer trouble.

    I take care of servicing of both our cars, mine is XC90 and my wife's Lexus. Both are comparable when you are inside dealership (Chicago suburbs), but I like Volvo better as I have an option to have my car picked up for service with free loaner drop off and same when my is returned, you can't...

    Factory Service Manual??

    Wow, what else can I say, if you owned 75 cars and bought XC90 - I feel a lot better owning it... I wish I had more time to get to know the "insides", my point of view is these days cars like XC90 are computers on wheels, I spent time to get to know the UI/features so I am comfortable using it...

    Factory Service Manual??

    I have lots of respect for owners like you, but I am sure you know that first 4 years the maintenance is included and free (except tire rotation which is ridiculous - all free but you have to pay to rotate tires), so you will actually be paying more by doing it yourself and skipping on other...

    2018 XC90 Reliability

    Please remember that you will interact with your car through the "iPad screen" every time you are in the car. If you hate it, then whats the point of having it, I understand safety is your concern, but very few cars are not considered safe these days. I love the touch screen and the minimal...

    Can't make iPhone calls by voice, because XC90 doesn't recognize my contacts

    I can recommend 2 solutions: Apple CarPlay, then you can call/text anyone through Siri, you just have to connect phone as you would be charging it (you probably do it anyway), then you can navigate all your contacts from the phone on the volvo touch screen and just select manually or use Siri to...

    I am sure you already tried adjusting your seat (height too) - just checking, to me it was never an issue...

    CarPlay apps

    CarPlay comes with ?stock ? apps, but do you have any extra apps that you like? I use TuneIn a lot and sometimes Audible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Need Quick Advice- Air suspension vs standard suspension?

    You will not regret Air Suspension. Last week I left my car with dealer to do the seatbelt recall and Polestar upgrade (yes!), I got a T5 XC90 loaner for 2 days and I could not believe how harsh the ride is, I started literally getting uncomfortable and believe me I am not picky. Even with T5...

    XC 90 upgraded Pilot II to level features of XC60

    Well, again, 2017/18 XC90s have all features listed in this article except the STEERING SUPPORT FOR EMERGENCY BRAKING, but that feature is not available for XC60 either. Steering support means that the car will steer itself during emergency braking to avoid the obstacle. This is not available in...

    XC 90 upgraded Pilot II to level features of XC60

    I think they are talking about the future model years here, maybe 2020 and the only new thing here is auto emergency braking WITH STEERING SUPPORT, but that it is not available even as option when I tried to build XC60 on volvo website

    XC 90 upgraded Pilot II to level features of XC60

    Same as my 2017 XC90 RDesign. I doubt there are any extra features in XC60 to compare to 2017/18 XC90s.

    Communications Software Issues

    No such issues with my XC90, although I do not share the car with anybody :) The remote works 100% of the time, it automatically pairs with my iPhone, my kids do not have issues to connect to the car's wifi. I just don't know why would you connect your car to your phone's wifi hotspot, maybe...

    Sunroof Issues

    Sorry to hear that, I have a annual membership in a local car wash and I wash my car sometimes every other day and never had an issue although it is not a touch free wash (free dealer carwash is too far and way too slow). I did use other car wash several times which is touch free also without...

    Looking for a second SUV (from BMW X5)

    I would recommend you go to official website and try to build the car, the options are listed at the end and you can save as pdf file and double check, at least that is how it was when I ordered mine, I have a feeling that some options became standard to compare to 2016 and 17 model years
