I'm looking forward to the next big AppleCarPlay integration that Volvo/Polestar is on the list for participation in....It's supposed to take over all the screens in the dash and you can customize your speedometer and other drivers info with Apple like style and colors and make it all look cohesive..that will be cool!

The implementation of Google Maps in the Android system is missing a massive feature - audio alerts for speed cameras. You can (now) see speed cameras on the map itself but it never announces that there is a speed camera ahead as Waze, Apple Maps and - yes - Google Maps does on your phone. Don't get me wrong - I don't speed but I do like the reassurance of knowing of any speed cameras on the road. Otherwise the Google Maps application is very good and very accurate when it comes to estimating battery usage for a given destination. But....despite AT LASY eliminating some rudimentary bugs, there are still some nasty ones. The latest is that it doesn't adhere to the % charge limits. For example, I set mine to 100% because I had a long journey. After that I set it to 90% but it keeps charging to 100% while showing 90% on the screen. Many owners are reporting the same thing. I wish Volvo did a better job of connecting to clients and proactively finding out about these things.

In my (lease) previous XC90 2018 and current XC90 2020 I always had the same problem with often not connecting to Apple Carplay. Sometimes music plays and Siri responds but the screen for Apple Carplay is black. It tells me to Connect Device even when it is connected. I do not know if it is on the Apple or Volvo side? I would suspect Apple. I noticed a trick that when my iPhone can not connect to Apple Carplay I connect it first to Bluetooth and start to play music and then connect with cable to Apple Carplay. Sound quality is much better with iPhone connected by cable than with BT, and the phone is being charged. I have the Volvo navigation with head-up display that shows the route on the screen. However I am looking forward to Android Automotive as I mostly use Google Maps, Spotify, KZitem Music. I also use parking apps that are on Apple Carplay. In some places when I park I have poor data connection with my phone (Sweden) so I start the parking with the app when driving to my parking place. So when I park the car the payment for the parking is already started. But I think Google Playstore should have those apps as well. I am planning to lease XC40 Twin as my next car. That's why I came across your channel. I like the shape of C40 but I have a dog. The electric future, is coming, but so far rather slowly - here in Sweden - I mean not som many charging stations.

I’ve been using Apple CarPlay on my 2022 XC60 for a couple of weeks now. Apple Music and Waze are the two apps I use the most which are great. iMessage is great as well. On the downside, I have to use a cable to connect my iPhone and I cannot skip songs using the buttons on my steering wheel or on the console which is annoying (I play loud music so voice activation does not work). It would be great if Volvo could resolve these issues. I still haven’t made up my mind which system I prefer to use.

Wired Carplay.. Waste Of Time (for me) - Did they remove a facility to get it to work ? I picked up my C40 in May, V1.9 and my USB STICK worked perfectly for playing music via the USB port using Audiowagon, the dealer couldn't even tell me how to do that !!!! THEN as I said DISASTER, my Maps had an issue so I was upgraded to V2.0 which solved the maps issue AND REMOVED THE FACILITY OF PLAYING MUSIC VIA USB - NO EXPLANATION The dealer reinstalled the software THREE TIMES including a visit because they didn't know Volvo had removed the facility, I say facility, which cars CAN'T play via their USB ? Don't worry we were told it'll be fixed.. BUT IT HASN'T in V2.2 we can play via USB BUT no matter which Mem Stick I use I get a popup saying USB DEVICE ERROR DEVICE IS NOT SUPPORTED Click OK and it then says would you like to access it ? and it kind of works ONLY EVERYTIME you get into the car you have to go through the same process and it restarts it doesn't go to where you left the App. I have sympathy with the dealers who are told very little by Volvo, Volvo themselves don't even bother to respond to queries, I mean it's simple isn't it ? IF MY DEVICE IS NOT SUPPORTED THEN VOLVO TELL ME WHICH DEVICES ARE ?
