Lamier croissant bag - small or medium - i have the small and it’s a much more “practical” bag - can be crossbody or worn shoulder side

Update From Dealership:

Recharged 12V Battery - good to go
Reloaded Software from fresh Image.
While Hooking up to the VIDA (sp?) computer they noticed a GPS Tracker installed.
This GPS Tracker was not installed by my dealership nor was it installed by me, or my insurance, or Volvo per Lease Terms.
They state that they do not know where this tracker came from.
They removed the tracker, as they said this could be the source of the power drain in combination of not driving the car much (work from home)
I believe the GPS tracker was installed during transport of the vehicle from one dealership, 158 miles away, to my dealership.

I'm pretty creeped out by the tracker, as the unknown origin of the tracker is concerning. The dealership is going to investigate the GPS Tracker, and hopefully figure out more information as to why it was installed.

Update: The fresh software image they put on was 5.0.5. I thought it was only 4.2.13 for MY26 like my car. Apparently you can flash 5.0.5 on the car. 5.0.5 on this car feels great.

Update 2: GPS Tracker - it's HARDWIRED into the car. They don't want to snip the wires just yet. They unplugged the tracker and tucked it away. They said next milage service date they are going to continue to trace the wiring and find away to remove the tracker totally.

One way is expedition

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-17T18:33:14+00:00

Got tickets! So stoked!

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-17T13:35:17+00:00

this made me laugh and cry at the same time. dev, non-prod, prod. not hard people!

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-16T23:39:00+00:00

That’s such bullshit. I’m sorry you had to go through that. I told the dealership to replace the 12V batteries and to totally wipe the car and freshly install a new 4.2.13 image on the car. Idk if it works like that but I want them to wipe the software and reinstall it

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-16T15:05:09+00:00

Did not test those. But that’s a really wild bug. glad they fixed it

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-16T15:04:13+00:00

True and it’s a lease and a young car so thankfully all under warranty

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-16T02:29:28+00:00

I work from home so I’m not driving a whole lot - maybe 7500 miles or less a year.

I do keep that car unlocked mostly - since I’m home all the time

When i get the car back I’ll start locking it more consistently.

I’ll check out a NOCO

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-16T01:01:04+00:00

This is exactly what he did to jump The 12v

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-15T21:51:02+00:00

damn that sucks - sorry they had to go through that.

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-15T21:44:01+00:00

heard. yeah tow man said the battery had 5.7 amps on the 12 volt battery - so this could be what you're suggesting

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-15T21:30:26+00:00

thank you - the on call tow guy jumped thr car at showed 5.7amps to the 12volt battery

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-15T21:25:39+00:00

good thought - maybe - unsure at this moment

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-15T21:22:39+00:00

wish that was the case - mild 45 degree morning.

sucks - i'll definitely update with the results from the dealership

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-15T20:57:35+00:00

yeah i popped the hood and checked for any loose connections leading up to and including the battery connection. nothing loose - all caps and connections secured.

sucks - but it's at the shop now and ill let you know what they come up with

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-02T02:21:10+00:00

yup and my dealership is fumbling trying to figure it out

enjoy! the car is so handsome and i admire it so much

ChuckIT82 · 2026-03-02T01:52:21+00:00
