  • Spotify, Apple car play..how exactly?.

    Hello together, have a question about Apple car play and Spotify. If I have Spotify on the iPhone, will the music be wirelessly transferred to the car? If I push a data card into the car, can I use Spotify even without a mobile phone? Will I probably order an XC90 at the end of the month and would be happy if I could use Spotify comfortably.

  • Contacts from the IPhone

    Hello together, I have been the owner of a V90 D4 since last November. I found something similar here, and tried the solution approaches, but without success. Remove mobile phone from the Sensus and reconnect, everything does not work. I own an IPhone XS, at the beginning when I had paired the phone, I can be mistaken because I did not check it, all contacts to the Sensus were transferred. At some point my son who starts with M disappeared from these contacts. My daughter who also starts with M was still present. I have caller pictures with my wife and my children. My wife starts with L, her picture was and is available. My daughter was only about half to see and my house, that I also have as a caller image is only to see 1/4. Meanwhile my daughter has also disappeared from the contacts and only a small part of the name stored with M has been present. Now it is even so that all contacts from the letter N have disappeared! I was already at the ?, who could not tell me a solution. Does anyone know this problem?

  • XC90 – Change from foreign manufacturer

    Dear forum members, it really seems to be a great satisfaction for the XC90 drivers. I would be interested in which car you have switched to the XC90 and you would do it again ?? After I have driven over many years of combinations of different manufacturers a new order is now available. My current 5 Series Touring is already far ahead in my personal satisfaction list and is no comparison to the Audis before. But with 2 children also a large combination comes to its limits and so I stand before the decision again the 5 Series or times an attempt with the, in my view the most beautiful SUV the XC90. If it is the Volvo then a B5 Diesel with R design. Have for you the seating position, space offer and the comfortable travel given the decisiveness for the Volvo and for that you perhaps sacrifice some driving fun or.. Take the 180km/h restriction in purchase? I think when changing from the BMW there will be a few dashes but these I would accept. The new B5 should be more quieter than its predecessor and with about 30,000km you have created the Spagat between the family car!

  • XC90 Start without key

    Recently the thought came to me, what if I should lose the car key and be further away from home. You can’t drive well from the holiday home and get a spare key. Well, I could open the car via VOC – no problem. But how would I start the car? Can you get this done through the SOS button in the Volvo or what would you have to do in such a case? Maybe someone had this problem before and can give me/us a hint for the future.

  • XC 90 II D5 Kilometer power / cross-country?

    Hello guys, I intend to buy a used XC90 D5 BJ04.16. What experience did you get with the D5 224 hp? Are there any with more than 200000 KM mileage? And above all workshop stays? Many thanks in advance!

  • XC90 Hybrid company car leasing 0.5 or 1 %?

    Hello all, I ordered a Volvo XC 90 T8 hybrid in the company car leasing. Now came an order confirmation in which it was stated that due to the selected special equipment a pure electric range of only 37 km is indicated. Likewise also a higher pollutant emission of 58 g/kilometre. Thus no guarantee can be taken over by 0.5 % monetary advantage to tax. Can it be now that I have to tax 1 %? Since the legal requirements of at least 40 km purely electric are not met! Greetings Alex

  • Who’s buying a new XC 90? Or is buying a new car?

    For a few months now there have been hardly any reports about the order, registration or handover of new XC 90. Corona has certainly blocked a lot of things. Is this car too big? too much protz? Or no longer socially accepted? I am interested in this as you can see.

  • iPhone holder in XC90 II – pictures and installation instructions

    Hi, in the cup holder at the very front I built a brodit holder for my iPhone 6s, so that I can no longer have any fuss with the cable and put the phone with a handle. Here at flickr I created an album that describes all installation steps with explanation in the image name:https://www.flickr.com/photos/gseum/albums/72157667425747193 Here the same images simply without explanation in the new-style video form on Youtube:https://youtu.be/EldW_BxDSbY And here is the simple handle of inserting:https://youtu.be/v-In3Y9GHpc Pictures of the finished installation in the attachment.

  • Range indicator vs. WLTP value – XC 90 Recharge T8

    By means of the search I have found only little to my question and hope that the experts in the forum can give me a short information. I drive an XC90 Recharge T8 since September. From the beginning the range indicator for the hybrid operation with fully charged battery never shows more than 35km and for “Pure” never more than 40km. Now I noticed with inspection of the documents that Volvo for the vehicle shows a purely electric range according to WLTP of 48km or a purely electric range “city” of 52km. I am aware that the range indicator can only represent a rough forecast. But at an external temperature of 15-20C not at least one value should be ejected, which is close to the 48km determined according to WLTP? The actual electric range is by the way in pure operation at all at 35km (at temperatures >15C, understandably clearly below). Did I catch a vehicle with a low battery or is the discrepancy between WLTP value and range indicator so common?

  • Say “Servus” quietly to the deposition…

    So, after almost two years of trouble-free discussions with the V90, I’m going to go someplace else. It’s probably due to a little bit of the inertia of my friend, who asked me half a year before the end of the lease, if he could support me in the choice of the successor car, but he simply didn’t respond to my configurations with the request of the lease conditions despite demand. So the choice (hobby and free-time) fell on a completely different vehicle category, there will be a Mercedes V300d Marco Polo in April now. Conclusion of 2 years and 50,000km: average consumption acc. fuel monitor just over 7 liters. A workshop stay due to noise from the rear axle. Otherwise no problems. Due to the sensationally favorable leasing rate, I actually have to get to the car with the lowest maintenance costs since 20 J. I always felt comfortable, the appearance of the V90 is still really good. The Sensus service concept has passed me into meat and blood, I now have to get to the Command system of MB (not a MBUX) and half-D is used as a driver of touch.
