Dear all,
is there a way to check the installed software version in a sensus car?
I would like to check if the dealer really installed the February update but I could not find where to look in Orbit - is it possible? if not can it be qdded in a future update?
thanks
I guess you could try to remote start the car, then unlock the car via the Volvo app, then try to lower the windows? If you can, then I think you got the latest update for Sensus vehicles? At least, I think that’s what they are saying? Because if I start the ignition of my ‘20 XC40 with my fob, then walk outside, leave the fob inside my house, come back outside to the running vehicle, I for sure can still adjust the windows, and the last VIDA total upgrade I did was in December ‘24 (a total upgrade is what they do at the dealer/Volvo 3rd-party shop with VIDA to update Sensus, and other vehicle modules). I can only think that windows wouldn’t respond in a remote start situation. Love for anyone to correct me on the above assumptions of the release notes. ?
In Orbit, you can grab build numbers of the modules in your car, but I don’t think their build numbers are dated based, nor are older build numbers available online. If you had a VIDA subscription and the app, it would allow you to check all actions performed by any shop / person with VIDA to your car, as reported by VIDA servers. That would include if someone did perform a total upgrade.

Are you sure for Sensus vehicles? Mine has a Car Software tab that doesn’t show anything (just a blank page with the words “Car Software” at the top). Vehicle Details section doesn’t show a version, just VIN, tank size, etc.

Thanks, I do not have it and the Volvo app is updated on my phone, maybe because my car app is for an iphone? sometiem some functions differs from android apps

FYI I have tried but it does not work, after that I remote start the car, the windows do not open.
Anyone else who got the update of February can please try? Thanks
