Apologies in advance for the long background, but I'm guessing this is a pretty unique-to-me type situation. As a European who's lived in the US for over 20 years now, I've gotten used to the local units for most things, the exception being temperature: I still very much prefer Celsius. In most cars I've owned (mostly BMWs, admittedly, with a couple of Audi's thrown in), I've been able to change the units just for the temperature. Not so with Volvo, the only options are Metric, Imperial (UK standard), and US. Imperial would be perfect, only UK gallons are different from US gallons.

Enter 161 UNIT SETTINGS: the perfect combination is there: "07 Temp: °C, Clock: 24 h, Distance: Miles, Fuel Consumption: Miles Per Gallon (US)", however changing it seems to have no effect whatsoever on the car

Has anyone fiddled with this one? Any suggestions/ideas?

Hi, everyone.
Today i activated AA and CP on my wife's XC60 '19 (224 to 04). I have 1 usb and CarPlay works, but AA doesn't. So i ordered double usb: 32207897.

Can anyone, who has double usb, say - what option should i choose in 362? There is 03 (with USB Hub, type A) and 80 (with 2 usb connections)

It doesn't seem like it's possible, but for someone with Slam Locking enabled, can they try to see if Slam Lock works while the car is running?

I often like to leave the car idling if I'm running for a quick errand, or if I have my dog in the car, etc. One of my gripes... Have to shut off the car, then remote start it if I want it running with the doors locked.

I mentioned this on the other forum, but I’m posting here to see if we can figure this one out. 

In VIDA there is a suspension calibration routine that can be run to correct any imbalances. 

Some people are using it to spoof the car into lowering itself. 

Is this something that this can be accomplished with this software instead of having to buy a VIDA sub?

Hello again,
Another setting I want to share that I tested.
When I start remote start the engine using the app there is no visual lights on the car except when it first starts, with the following config change when you use the Volvo app it will turn on the Thor's Hammer LED lights.

I did test the other available settings with no luck to use the Key to start up the car, if someone knows the trick or key buttons combination please let me know, I can try that as well.


My original settings are:
045 ENGINE REMOTE START PRECOND - 02 Remote Engine Start Precond from smartphone app

Here is what I changed:
045 ENGINE REMOTE START PRECOND - 03 ERS by app, Running light

With the setting once you start the car via the app, it will turn on the LED lights

271     Set the start stop to “ key with memory”
           Beautiful, done with every time push it to out.
           Very easy to do

207    Set video to “ any speed “
          Without any probleme 

Not sure how interested people will be with this option, however...

If you change line 454 AM RADIO FUNCTION from EXCLUDE AM FUNCTION to INCLUDE AM FUNCTION, then you get AM RADIO.

A new icon appears in the IHU to allow you to select. UK cars don't have this visible normally.

Similarly, line 222 is MEDIA PLAYER, mine as standard was WITHOUT MEDIA PLAYER, but changing it to WITH MEDIA PLAYER enabled a CD menu option in the IHU which was greyed out as I obviously don't have the hardware. 

I therefore assume the third option here, WITH MEDIA PLAYER BD, refers to Blu-ray media drive units.

Hello,
I just want to open some discussion here about some Safety configuration Items that looks interesting and I'm not sure if they would work with Sensus or with our Vehicles I believe MY18-MY21
I'm planning to test those settings soon but I want to see if someone already tested them did they work? what was the outcome? or If someone have an Idea about them in general.
some of them looks interesting and pretty cool if they would work (from my pov ofc).


208 DRIVER DISTRACTION PROTECTION
Is this for the Pilot assist that would cancel Pilot assist if you get that you have to put your hands on the steering wheel? or Is this to allow the cameras to work above 25mph ?

315 DRIVE AWAY INFORMATION
I believe this is for the Android version where the car would chime if the car in-front of you moves during a complete stop traffic or a traffic light

479 FRONT CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
I believe this would be helpful when you come close to intersections where it's hard to see incoming traffic and you need to keep pulling forward to view it

483 DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER
I know this might require extra components or something but Imagine this would allow us to use our current cameras as dashcams like Tesla (a person can dream right? lol)

500 DRIVER ALERT CONTROL
I'm not sure what is this, if you have any idea please let me know

504 TRAFFIC LIGHT ATTENTION
Didn't Volvo back in 2012-2013 released something to implement to help the drivers to get notified when a traffic light switches from red to green?


Thank you

Hello again,
I want to also share another setting I was tested and it worked for the 360 Camera,
If everyone remembers for the Volvo's in the US with the 360 cam, that it would use the last setting we choose, similar to Europe, but then they released a TU to change it to be enforced to show the backup camera first due to regulatory reason.

I did some testing on the options that is available, I had most failures with other settings where the camera would show black screen like it's not there (maybe I needed to reset the ABS or something not sure, but I didn't know about it at that time lol), but I found one that does the trick

My original settings are:
154 FRONT PARKING CAMERA - 06 Parking camera 360, always activated during reverse

Here is what I changed
154 FRONT PARKING CAMERA - 03 Parking camera 360

With this setting for US market when you put your car on reverse it will show the last settings you had which is rear view camera or the 360
