Interesting update.
Starting info:
XC40 2021 (Sensus) from the USA. Currently, in Europe.
I've contacted a local dealer in the USA to regenerate the Volvo ID for me, as I'm a new owner of a car. After a long conversation, they did it for me, but mentioned that the car connectivity will not work due to regional restriction and roaming.
In 2024, I've tried to connect the car to the VOC, but on a phase of pressing the "On Call" button — it didn't work as there was no connectivity.
But yesterday I noticed that the VOC app on mobile was updated. And currently, to connect a car — you don't need to press and hold the "On Call" button, but generate and scan a QR code.
So I was able to connect my car to the app successfully. But there was still no connection at this point. So I put my local SIM card into a car to see if that will work by any chance. And it did!
Unfortunately, my subscription expired now. However, I could see the car's statistics and GPS location at least. Flash headlights and honk. And could remotely check whether I've closed my windows or not.

I have XC40 2019 from USA in EU(Poland). I put sim card and i have albo car statistic, i see which door is open but i don't see actual position i can't flash light. I think it's problem with slow connection because i must long wait for refresh status in volvo cars app.
