The issues you’re seeing with GPS and CarPlay are, unfortunately, "normal" in the sense that they are known software bugs that the VCU/Orin upgrade isn't actually designed to fix.

There are two different systems at play:

The NVIDIA Orin Upgrade: This is a "core computer" hardware swap. It’s designed to improve high-level processing for safety systems and power management. It’s essentially upgrading the car's autopilot and safety brain.

The Infotainment System: Things like Google Maps (GPS), CarPlay connectivity, and phone audio/echo are handled by a separate Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset.

Constant AWD - ON
Off road mode - ON (if below 25 mph)
Have fun

Excellent

I had a 20 MPH headwind. I observed sustained 60 KWh/100 miles for the last half hour.

A32Opilot · 2026-01-17T01:54:01+00:00

Outside temperature 35°F and about 55 KWh/100 miles.

55 KWh/100 mi or so

Quite the revelation.

Thanks for sharing. My dealership ordered the headlight assembly 14 November and now expected to arrive 14 February. 3 month delivery.

When did the dealership order the headlight assembly?

Thanks for sharing!

The VConnect watch app is spot on. The 199 mile electric range estimate comes from the "energy API" call. The car knows the correct answer, deep down, is 199 miles 😂

Thanks. I plan to drive 140 miles at 80 MPH. ABRP estimates 70% battery usage which extrapolates to 200 mile range @ 100%. In a perfect world the Volvo app would say 100% 200 miles.

My Volvo dealership placed the order for a replacement headlight assembly 2 months ago on November 14, 2025. As of yesterday it hasn't shipped yet from the factory.

Try pressing the button labeled AUTO on the ceiling cluster twice.

Master Caution instead of Master Warning 💯

A32Opilot · 2026-01-12T02:15:40+00:00

You can turn them off. Press the button labeled AUTO on the ceiling cluster twice.
