After discussing the topic of “Google Built in” (Android Automotive) in various threads about pros and cons, subjective opinions, etc., I thought that it was sensible to open a separate thread, which can be used for discussions. The actual technical integration and functioning is not supposed to be the topic here, I am thinking more of questions such as: Essentially, it’s about the question of how everyone evaluates the situation. I personally have a certain A Google, however, does not use any reasonable alternatives. Google stands in this discussion on behalf of the Volvo integrated system – but is different from Tesla and trusts other companies (Apple/Tesla,…) more, so that your view on this would be different if their systems would run in your Volvo Please note: Stay objective – no personal attacks because of different opinion or otherwise

Hello! Yesterday I got a terrible shock: I am standing at the traffic light and suddenly squirts like stupid out of my bonnet. On the right side are really thick clouds come out. Since no red lamp approached I drove on and immediately called the workshop. There they told me that this would be normal and a well-known problem with the diesel. I had then parked the car and then drove again a piece and again smoke. Then I went to the factory after all On the way there…. Qualm. 🙁 The master told me that there is a known problem with diesel and additional heaters. But with heaters (of factory) the Probelm is not known. Now my question: Do you know the problem one of you? I only got the car about three weeks ago and at the price I expect a smoke-free driving. Today it did not smoke by the way. With the car I apparently have no luck. Balance of three weeks: 1. In the delivery are at d he bumper scratches from the installation of the parking aid and then also bangs something on the car (such a stand), 2. Scratched rear door on the passenger side (1 day old the car), but went away polish, 3. 10 days: I was crawling at the parking in the fender on the driver side (but reported), 4. Yesterday: smoke from the bonnet and keeling has an explanation. But in the diagnostic unit there was an error (something with flash point in the heater, how critical is the ?) protokoliert. Nevertheless I look forward to every new day with the moose… Many greetings and for help I am grateful, Matthias

Hello together, some time ago [eMkay] had made his moose scare available to me as a logo for the Volvo Usermap (elk cards).–> Here we go on to the current edition 2020. Since then there have always been requests whether the moose logo is also available as a sticker. Before we now become active in any way, we must of course know whether and to what extent there is any interest in such a sticker. Therefore, in coordination with our moose scare I have a So if you’re interested, you can vote and decide whether the whole thing will be forgotten or if there will actually be a moose scare as a sticker… If you don’t want to, you don’t need to vote either. We want to determine the number of interested parties with the survey above all. We’re curious and hope that this thread won’t slip too quickly to the second page Greeting Tom[Up date on 05.04.2005] ps: before the question comes up: we don’t want to make any money on it…[Update on 17.03.2009] The last silver stickers have been ordered today. Whether there will be a new edition? Who wants to show interest can do this here in this thread.[Update on 17.04.2020] Well, if that’s not the excavation of a really old thread! –> Here we go.

Moin Bastler, I just had a problem with the elk electrics again and needed a schematic (like many before me). Here is always asked, but apparently no one here has schematics… Until now! I have searched the whole www hard, and came across a Polish page, which holds up from almost everything called Volvo Extensive original documents for download. I’m still from the socks… The schematics also have infos about where in the car what to do The only drawback is that the page is only available in Polish. Luckily, this is so clear that you can find your way around without problems. The download links are incomprehensible, if you go over with the mouse, but the document title (in English) and it helps you further. The whole documents are also in English, but that bothers little with schematics. For everything else, you have to amn more Take time if the English is still rusty. But the pictures are in German 🙂 So that not everyone running along can see the link immediately I packed it in the appendix. Have fun with it.

Hello motor talker, did any of you already overtake/repair your steering gear?

The home aquarium has interesting side effects. I finally found time and installed Home Assistant on a Raspi to automate and control various things here in the house. Quite simply a la If/Then/Else principle, just with all the “intelligent” components in the house on a platform. Actually, I wanted to pair my cameras with my light control. By chance, I came across that the platform I chose for it also has one. In practice, this means that ss that I can query, monitor and react to status changes via HA all VOC sensors. This allows exciting automations (a few ideas about which you can argue): I have not yet completely implemented anything of it, but only put the VOC sensors together on one side of the admin surface, see photo in the annex. Prio currently has the house control but there is a lot of potential to employ my gadget game drive for a while 🙂 P.S Home Ass istant is free, there are clients also for iOS/Android PP..S. EIne similar integration gitbs also for other car manufacturers and models and 1500+ other services –>

Hello to all sound checkers, early risers, frustrated drivers and other Volvo drivers. I plan to put together a CD that is meant for certain situations: 1. Who gets up early, also needs a few cheermakers in the car 2. Who has/had a bad day, needs a few real defrusters 3. Who wants to compare his sound system with others, needs a few real reference pieces Who can make suggestions for this or send me corresponding MP3? I had roofed to pieces t wie: Joan Jett “I Love Rock ́n Roll” Run DMC vs. Aerosmith ” Walk This Way” Toto “Hold The Line” Ram Jam “Black Betty” Queen “We Will Rock You” A first version may have its premiere already on Friday at the GT V-introductory sound check of Elkman and EmKay. So: Everything close to the CD collections and looking out what is suitable. Suggestions always in here. If MP3 is available, I will gladly pass on my mail. Greeting Markus … who just misses the disco on the lawn …

A general question about Android Automotive (AAOS) and Google Maps. Maybe someone can give me a tip. If I plan a route with Google Maps on my PC, I have sent the link to my mobile phone and can call up and start the route in Google Maps there on my mobile phone. If I have several routes (e.g. a holiday trip with various stages), then I have created a route with fixed waypoints on my PC for every day in Google Maps and saved the link of each route in Google Notes. This enabled me to access the route on my mobile phone or with Apple Carplay and start the navigation. How do I do this with AAOS? Can I really only save destinations in Google Maps on my PC and then access them in my Volvo’s Android Automotive Google Maps? So far I have found no way to transfer a complete route to the car and start the navigation of this route there. Under Google Maps on my PC I can find places in “lists” (marked places, favorites, would like to go there). tc.). I put on my PC in Google Maps a list of my own “travel plan”, do not show up in the car. … I am grateful for every tip Many greetings and thank you Micha

Dear car friends, as many certainly know, Volvo Cars 2010 was taken over by the Chinese Geely Corporation. Currently it is planned to have cars produced there which could then also be exported to Europe. For this you would like to know your opinion. Please take a short time to answer the questionnaire under the following link. In the survey a car is shown which stands representative for all models – so you can get your general opinion in the questions about the Audr uck bringen. http://www.onlineumfragen.com/login.cfm?umfragen=27302 Thank you for your help Many greetings, Maximilian/Uliana Additional Information: We, Uliana and Max, are students in International Marketing at Mälardalen University in Sweden and use the answers for our thesis.

… and only 24000km. At least the seller says it in this advertisement. I can’t even say if I’ve seen it before, the design is very special, but the technology is unexcited from the Volvo construction kit, as it seems. He wants to have quite exactly €8000 and a possible German buyer should also take a vacation on the Lofoten on the occasion… Lieb Gruss Oli
