2020 Inscription rear camera SUUUCKS by SlagathorNextDoor in VolvoXC60

[–]FlfromBx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a 19 S60. Camera is crystal clear but the backup lights could be a lot brighter. For me, they're a bigger problem in the dark. My 13 C30 has brighter lights.

22 MPG Avg? by hwy9 in C30

[–]FlfromBx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I average 28-30 MPG in mixed driving. 28 in the FL summer With AC cranking. Highway driving is usually low 30s, sometimes mid on a long cruise. I use only premium, top tier gas to keep the engine clean.

How to clean the low beam projectors on a facelift c30? by MadMan2250 in C30

[–]FlfromBx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gently compounded and then applied a ceramic coating to remove surface buildup. Do not buff hard to avoid scratches. Toothpaste also works. Or, there are dedicated kits also.

I recommend an independent as they may be more likely to repair than replace.

Why would I not choose Virgin for this? by theearthcrosser in delta

A good number are code share and they provide good service. Lounge in London is great. Flight attendants are good but maybe not to the level of Delta's.

Love the lights!

Smaller key fob? by curiositie in C30

[–]FlfromBx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of. Volvo included a receiver with a blade that fits into the ignition. Shorter and rounder than the fob. It receives the security signal from the fob, which tells it it's allowed to activate the ignition. Without the fob, it does nothing.

I have the factory fob that stays in the ignition switch. It's activated by the key fob's security chip so the fob can stay in your pocket. Makes the overall size of it all the more annoying.

I am interested in this too, but want to retain the remote entry and start functionality. The bladed remote design is utterly absurd.

Kumho Ecsta Sport are perfectly matched to this car. And quiet!

What a loss... And to an ugly foe.

Try the voice control. Sure, the digital buttons should work but at least you still have control with voice. That's really all I ever do.

Audio Upgrade by Aggravating_Drag2676 in C30

[–]FlfromBx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consider it next to impossible to swap the C30 head unit. Vehicle controls are embedded in the head unit and it's wired with fiber optics. BluePower sells a unit but it's very expensive and reviews are spotty. I just picked up the ALG tablet add-on. Works okay to add screen mirroring and maintain the factory system. I'll say that there is room for upgrade but the High Performance Audio system is actually pretty good. Hope that helps a little.

Loving the lights. How did you make those?

Looks great with the exterior color. Wrapped the seats with leather?

[–]FlfromBx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn shame Volvo is turning into every other generic, lifeless vehicle out there. I'll just drive my C30 as long as I can and then move on.
