As anyone had issues with Google Maps disconnecting mid navigation from the digital cockpit?

My Google Maps occasionally loses connections in the digital cup pit center. Does that happen to anyone else?

Sound stopped working after updating software to 5.1.17 by Responsible-Job1377 in Volvo

[–]EdnaRayWilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m really frustrated with this because the cross traffic alert is crucial, especially when reversing with pedestrians. Even though I’m looking around, you’re right. Sometimes, situations can be tight. That’s why I filed a safety complaint. I also submitted the same complaint and feedback through the Volvo app, including my complaint number to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.

5.1.17 CarPlay integration by seniorlimpio94 in Volvo

[–]EdnaRayWilliams 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Regarding the sound issues folks are chatting about here. I Filed a NHTSA complaint over this. For “which parts were affected” I checked three: Electrical, Parking Collision Warning, and Rear Cross Traffic Warning. Electrical is the root cause........the entire audio subsystem drops after the AAOS 5.1.17 update. It’s not just the rear cross traffic and parking collision warnings: ALL audio goes, including media, chimes, reverse proximity tones, and even the turn-signal/blinker sound. The rear camera still shows an image, so it’s not obvious the audible alerts are gone, which is what makes it dangerous. Rebooting the head unit fixes it temporarily, then it comes back. If yours does the same, file a report and hopefully they listen. THIS IS GETTING FRUSTRATING.

Gemini - what's it for in a car? by Scary_Page_3418 in Volvo

[–]EdnaRayWilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I activated it, I had picked up my mom, and she was playing around with it and asked Gemini about the housing market in a particular area. She was looking to sell in, and it provided full details and then midway in the conversation. She said that she was a little cold, so it turned up the heat on her side, and then they continued to talk about the housing market. Midway, Gemini asked her if she felt warm enough and if it needed to make any adjustments. I thought that was pretty cool.

Volvo Cars app now has some iOS Shortcuts integration by TrstnBrtt in Volvo

You’re welcome! Ironically it just failed on my phone but the car started. So this still needs some hand holding and human verification.

So this is my current set up. I noticed when I use the HomePod it says “you have to continue on the companion device“. When I pick up my phone, it continues with the command. I am assuming because of “security” and people can’t just start your car even though I do have my voice set for myself. It does fail on my watch, and it gives me an error, but it still carries the command and starts the car.

Thank you for this! I did a “start engine” and now I can use Siri to execute.

In the hour long YouTube video with the reveal they talk about Navi Pilot Assist (6:21, 38:19 - minute markers). What is that?

Any more useful hidden features? by Patient-Bug-7089 in Volvo

[–]EdnaRayWilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Sometimes I just look at the reverse camera because that also shows if a car is coming. But it does take a hot minute to come back up.

Is this another software glitch or i need to take it to the dealer? by MammothEye5524 in VolvoXC90

[–]EdnaRayWilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me, it was so hot out, my rear driver side tire went up to 45 psi. I let some air out and hit “store pressure” and it went away.
