  • Softwareuopdates for MJ2016

    Good morning together, We have bought a used XC90 Momentum D5 Momentum from November 2015 (MJ16), which we will receive next week. I’ll read a lot of newer XC90 which are now running on Android. As far as I can see up to now, however, it is still unclear to me how exactly this works for my MJ. I read a lot of newer XC90 which is now running on Android. As far as I am looking at it up to now, however, my system has an older (proprietary!?) system. Therefore, the question of how I can make which updates? Or differently asked: Which types of updates can I install myself and for which I have to become a dealer? Because the older system has an OTA update possibility – as far as I have reviewed it up to now. Does this only concern the infotainment unit? Or also the complete vehicle software? And how can I get navigation card updates? Thank you for your support. VG, mabuchho

  • Travel book / Driving Journal under AAOS

    Hello, does someone know how to get the journey book (App Name Driving Journal) turned on? I’ve released the location data, I’m logged in with the Volvo ID on the system but there’s always the message that the journey book has to be turned on under “Data Protection > Volvo Privacy Settings > Travel Book”. However, there is no menu item Travel Book. The following entries are available and these are activated as follows: Data Protection for Active Safety (ASDR) > FROM App Volvo Cars > A Connected Safety > A Vehicle Data Analysis > A Manual says you should also see an entry in the app under “Profi” . But even here there is nothing to find. Generally, the board/trip computer is more than meagre… also the app shows nothing at all, such as last trip, KM stand, consumption etc. This works better with other manufacturers. Does that have to be unlocked by Volvo? Greeting Holger

  • XC60 D5 no power when accelerating

    Hello guys, My XC60 has on the last three rides repeatedly it problem that he from a slow rolling mops at about 1000 to 1500 u, turns of the gas lever simply NO Kraf thatte. It is a 2011 D5 with Heico Leistngsincrease. So the car has accelerated quite slowly, but despite full throttle only very slowly. Also take short gas away and then again full throttle did not help. After about 20 seconds the spook had disappeared again – and everything was normal again. The car was warmed up both times. Someone an idea?

  • Volvo and Apple iPod

    Hello, I’m looking at an interesting press release. In 2005 all of Volvo’s US models will be equipped with an Apple iPod port. Here’s the link to the press release:http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2005/jan/11volvo.html Sounds somehow good, although I have the impression that the solution for S40, V50 and XC90 is an iTrip-like solution. Hopefully the models will be equipped with it in Europe in the future. Gruss Misch

  • Volvo XC60 – MJ2012 – Flamenco Red available again?

    Two months ago, I was informed by my dealer that the colour Flamenco Red was no longer available – after that I chose a replacement color “tooth-enchanting”. According to a message from Volvocars on their main page in the press area, Flamenco Red Metallic would be available again. Who of you has access to the ordering system and could check for me if that is so? The ID of the Volvo article reads: 38313

  • Collision warner warns for no reason!

    Hello municipality, I am recently also proud owner of an XC60, among other things with Collision Warner. After already the radar had a hardware defect and was replaced, I have a problem with the C-Warner. The following happens: on a normal journey (city or country) without previous traffic he reports once loudly and brightly flashing, that I find myself shortly before the impact…..but is not so, because no car drives in front of me. The problem is, however, that you get on the brake for a while, which again the following traffic does not find funny at all. Isn’t it safe. Has someone perhaps already had the same problem?

  • Which color which model? black/white… D3 AWD yes or no?

    Hello everyone, I finally decided! An XC 60 is supposed to be a real dream! now I’m just not clear about the color, either saphir black so classic or chic in white. I’m torn back and forth! What do you think? I know it’s smart but nevertheless I ask you. The second question that concerns me is AWD yes or no. what are the before and after?

  • Volvo 850 Kombi Built 94 Kaufberatung

    Hi guys, I’m coming here from the Opel corner to give you some information from the ribs. So, today I was offered the following vehicle: Volvo 850, Built 94, 144 HP, approx. 250 tkm, manual transmission, white with partial leather equipment. Since I could get the car at an unbeatable price, I play with the idea of looking at it at least once, especially there is an AHK on it. What I already know: There should have been problems with the timing belts (but from 93 onwards this should be fixed?), lighting machine, cracks in the windshields, leaks and cool water hoses. What else is there to be noticed? What else do you have to pay special attention to? Or would you mind looking at a purchase? I say straight away that I would only use the Volvo as a second and towing vehicle, so no daily. I thank you for your help!

  • Built-in child seat: ECE approval?

    Since my elk II has the child seat integrated in the rear seat middle armrest in contrast to the predecessor, I would be interested in which ECE approval the thing has. Probably none or not the required 44/03, but maybe one of you knows more precisely.
