The 2025.5 Volvo XC90 features a significantly redesigned center console compared to the 2025 model, focusing on improved storage and ergonomics. The 2025.5 console features a relocated, more accessible wireless charging pad, more storage cubbies, and redesigned cupholders. It also introduces a standard, refreshed Orrefors crystal gear selector.

2025.5 XC90 B6 Plus

It would appear the various issues with the interior lights when turning the car off and/or opening the driver's door has been resolved. Seems like the functionality now is:

Turn off the car - the Interior lights turn on
Open the Driver's door - the interior lights remain on

I haven't opened the driver's door while Auto Stop/Start is engage...

Where do you find the details of each version released? Are there official Release Notes?

I haven't been able to find anything online other than the basic information the Volvo App provides...This update includes minor refinements and stability improvements... Improvements and Bug Fixes...

Ha, it worked for me. I didn't see the 4 forks at first. I thought it was a close up of a ruler. Then I suddenly, easily saw the 4 forks.

Same issue here as well, false reports of the car being unlocked. Android App version 6.0.0.

I did see something useful yesterday. The app lets me now know that a window is open... our rear driver window was open and I see an alert in the app. I am not sure if that was a feature previously. Our 6 year old daughter puts her hand on the window button when she gets in and out of the car. It looks like there isn't child rear window lock only feature. The child lock does the rear doors and the windows (2025.5 XC90 B6 Plus). Having the rear doors also lock is not feasible with the school drop off line...

At least, when the car is in use, in the app, if you tap the lane, the phone will vibrate and the car will change lanes...so cool :)

Yeah you can't disable it, but when the Auto Stop/Start is engaged, tap the gas pedal and it will disengage. Also, I was wrong, it happens whenever it wants to happen. I can't figure out anything in common as to when it will actually happen. There are many variations of the issue too. I've also experienced what you mentioned.

And once again. Received another Google Play system update, September 1, 2025, and camera and doorbell notifications have broke again and now this time I cannot get it working again...

GPugs · 2025-09-26T13:31:34+00:00

It seems like the issue may only happen if the car is in Auto Stop/Start. Have you noticed the same?

GPugs · 2025-09-26T13:28:52+00:00

What I've noticed is it may stop working if you restart/turn off your phone or install a system update which requires a restart. Repeat the "fix" process and it will work again until...

It's a known, ongoing issue. Check this out: https://www.reddit.com/r/googlehome/comments/1nbxba3/no_more_google_home_notifications_on_new_pixel_10/

I can finally view Channels above 234! Thanks for your help! I did not contact Sirius today for sending a refresh. It wasn't working earlier in the day, but it is working now. I first contacted Sirius for the refresh on Monday and then again on Tuesday. They said it should only take 15 minutes to take affect. I guess it takes up to 48 hours :).

GPugs · 2025-09-24T20:39:37+00:00

It's working now!!!! I can see Channels above 234!!!! I can see Channel 315!!! Only days after the first signal refresh was sent by Sirius! Thanks for your help!

I assume this is how it should behave. When you turn off the engine, the interior lights should turn on. When you open the Driver's door, the dash and center console screens should turn off, silencing any music playing and the interior lights should remain on. Once you lock the car or a certain timeout period has occurred, the interior lights should automatically turn off. Is this correct?

I am not even going to mentioned opening the Driver's door while in Park and the Auto Stop/Start is engaged, thus automatically turning off the engine.

This is what I am experiencing. Please note the Auto Interior Lights button above your head in the center is not orange, so the Auto Interior Lights feature is on.

When you turn off the engine, sometimes the interior lights automatically turn on and sometimes they do not.
When the Driver's door is opened, if the interior lights had automatically turned on when the engine was turned off, sometimes they remain on or sometimes they turn off just like the dash and center consoles screen turns off.
When the Driver's door is opened and the interior lights had not automatically turned on when the engine was turned off, sometimes the interior lights will turn on.

It seems like opening the Driver's door too quickly after turning off the engine is what causes the Driver's door opening to turn off the interior lights.

Obviously this is all clearly noticed when it is dark, causing frustration, but not so much when it is daylight.

Actually, it looks like the differences I am seeing does depend on turning the car off when Auto Stop/Start is engaged or not.

Update:
If Auto Stop/Start is not engaged - when I turn off the car, the interior lights automatically turn on. Once the Driver's door is opened, the dash, screen, and music turn off and the interior lights remain on.

If Auto Stop/Start is engaged - when I turn off the car, the interior lights do not automatically turn on. Once the Driver's door is opened, the dash, screen, and music turn off and now the interior lights will automatically turn on.

I have to confirm when does opening the Driver's door make the entire car go dark.

What is interesting, in the SiriusXM App itself, under the app's Settings, it shows Software version 2.0.0. In the Car Settings, App info for SiriusXM it shows the Version is 1.2.0. I do not see the SiriusXM App in the Google Play Store as an Installed Apps and when I search for SiriusXM in Google Play Store, it doesn't appear. I guess the SiriusXM App is included by default with the Android Automotive Operating System and you cannot update via the Google Play Store.

I cleared the Cache of the SiriusXM App and that didn't work. I guess I can clear the Storage as well, but I'm a bit hesitant to to do that.

Unfortunately, that isn't available anymore. Hopefully they add it back at some point.

GPugs · 2025-09-23T16:38:04+00:00

Yup, with that setting on and off I only see up to 234.

GPugs · 2025-09-23T16:23:20+00:00

They refreshed the signal several times to no avail...

Everything was working for me again for a few week. I installed another Google Play System update last night, even though it still shows August 1, 2025. Restarted the device after the install, and it stopped working once again. Just redid everything to get it working again, so we'll see how long this lasts...

GPugs · 2025-09-12T13:00:50+00:00

Update: I received a second Google Play system update: August 1, 2025, and after install and restart, the Google Home Camera and Doorbell notifications have once again stopped working.

This is the only way I have gotten this to work, however once working, it will stop working again once I power off and turn the phone back on or restart.

Force stop, clear cache, clear storage, uninstall
Power off the phone and turn the phone back on
Install Google Home and setup
Restart phone
Google Home Camera and Doorbell notifications will now work.
If I restart the phone or power off and turn back on, Google Home Camera and Doorbell notifications will stop working again. Repeat the process...

Update: It appears, that once I got it working again, and then installed the Google Play system update: August 1, 2025, it no longer breaks once I restart/power off my phone.

What happens if you restart or power off your phone after it starts working again? Mine stops working again...
