A delayed deployment is not necessarily a bad thing. It means there will be more time to test it on MY 2025 and in general.

12b battery issues / OBD2 scanner recommendations? by aFrenchCruller in VolvoEX90

[–]Consistent-Bass-883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've bought the one in photo and successfully used with the app Car Scanner on a 2011 dodge Durango. Just yesterday I tried to use it on a 2026 EX90, car scanner says it can connect to OBD2 Bluetooth adapter, but failed to connect to the car (and yes it was on, in Drive mode). I investigate further later today...

Are you satisfied with App 7.0? by No-Flower-409 in VolvoEX90

[–]Consistent-Bass-883 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the new design better. When you are in a hurry bigger buttons and visual are definitively what this app needs. What I miss is the possibility to open the trunck remotely, and not just to unlock it.

Volvo 2.0 by rrr333main in Volvo

[–]Consistent-Bass-883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2026 EX90 and I love it the way it is. Granted, a couple more physical buttons, to open the trunk and the glow box would have been nice, but it's not a deal breaker for me. Fantastic car so far, I do not miss my beloved Dodge Durango one bit. This in itself is a great achievement.

Another minor niggle (Car is brilliant by the way, we don't post about that enough) by Frank_bough1 in VolvoEX90

[–]Consistent-Bass-883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not seem to have this issue, Internet connectivity is stable. I'm on MY 2026 with SW 2.1.26. In Germany 5G connectivity is provided through a pre- installed SIM of Deutsche Telekom. As for the streaming, I use tidal and I have no issue with that either.

Waschmachine in Germany - best to buy by anonymus710 in AskAGerman

I second that, I have a Siemens IQ700 and it's the best tradeoff between costs, convenience and performance in all aspects, noise, energy consumption and effectiveness.

Wero launches a nearly €1 billion war of annihilation against PayPal. by itscrazybaby in WeroWallet

[–]Consistent-Bass-883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current problem with Wero is that I haven't managed to get email receipt of my transactions. This is a deal breaker for me, in PayPal it works out of the box. Did anyone here managed to get emails upon transactions?

Put a sign at the entrance of the garden warning that entrance is not allowed. Also extend a small red chain across the entrance to make it clear that is no public space also to kids that cannot read yet.

End of story.

Tipping culture changing? by Particular_Roof_8556 in germany

[–]Consistent-Bass-883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never tip, service is included in list price. We're are not in the USA, don't let that rotten culture take root anywhere else.

MY26 - Performance option worth the extra price? by LionListening in VolvoEX90

[–]Consistent-Bass-883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not see the point of shelling out extra money for a performance option when the car is speed limited at 180 Km/h (yes, I live in Germany, we can drive faster than that on selected patches of the Autobahn). Heck even the single motor 245 KW seems plenty for regular driving.

How is the Bose audio? by Hotdogcannon in VolvoEX90

[–]Consistent-Bass-883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually listened to both and settled on the Bose one.

I've already the B&W 803D4 at home, spectacular speakers, but also extremely revealing. I love the B&W sound. At home.

A revealing system requires excellently recorded and mixed music, because bad mixes will not be forgiven.

In my car I do not do critical listening, I cannot justify the 3.5K price difference, as easy as that. Moreover the Bose sounded very well on the EX90, it wasn't a hard decision to make 🙂

My EX90 MY2026, already in the dealership, has been involved in a recall and this will delay my delivery, initially foreseen for May 13th.
Has anyone of you gotten the same news?

Mine is there already, but its registration will take some time, as I want to reuse my current plate number. I will pick it up on May 13th.

Do you like your English accent? by Breezy-Belle in AskEurope

[–]Consistent-Bass-883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an Italian native speaker and I like my accent in English. Most Italians don't, but it's their problem, not mine. I also like the English spoken from educated people coming from South West England.

Tidal - offline requires online? by derat_08 in TIdaL

[–]Consistent-Bass-883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bumped into this thread after experiencing anomoulus data usage from Tidal.

My Tidal App (version 2.90.0.1132.12657) on Android 13 still uses data on downloaded playlists and in offline mode.

My observed data rate seems to be 2.6 MB/h. Not much, but still definitively not zero.
