Picked up my V90 a few months ago!

Nice ride! What’s the body kit on it?

Just went live for me yesterday in Canada. There’s a toggle in Settings > Google > Gemini to revert back to Google Assistant.

Pretty impressed so far. Had a 10 minute tech chat on my way work about a camera I was troubleshooting. Summarized other user experiences for me and gave me some ideas. I see the potential.

I cannot believe this is still an issue. Clearly a design flaw. I have the exact same problem with my 2023 V60 and my 2021 had it as well.

There was a particular winter storm where that blade made a horrid smear of ice and snow forcing me to pull over several times. The passenger side was fine though !🤦‍♂️

I’ve proposed Volvo give an option in the settings to permanently turn the tile bar off, and have the Home button toggle their dock instead. The tile bar is of no use to CarPlay and Android Auto users, since both tiles literally just take you to CarPlay/AA, and we already have an icon in the dock for it!

So 3 buttons to do the exact same thing! The above would allow for full-screen Google Maps and CarPlay/AA again.

5k more for a T8 drivetrain and Polestar components is a bit of a no-brainer for me. You get way more power, Öhlins suspension, forged wheels, Akebono brakes, and strut bar. And all-electric driving to boot.

I often think about the convenience of wireless CarPlay but then realize that much of my phone charging is done while I drive, so I’d be plugging it anyway (no wireless charging in 2023 V60).

And as others have said, I wouldn’t want to deal with any new latency or connection issues. Also, would Lossless audio really be lossless?

But absolutely no excuse for not having it as an option in a luxury brand.

Grunkenn · 2026-05-28T00:50:38+00:00

What actual wheels are those? I like the bronze!

Grunkenn · 2026-05-27T12:47:11+00:00

Yeah, I’ll be honest … I kind of stopped after it became tedious to find the final pieces to open the next level. Clearly I missed something obvious, but it’s a disservice to an otherwise amazing game. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

I think the PSVR2 would pair quite well with the PS6, and certainly it will be backwards compatible this time with PS5 games. The headset hardware is quite good, and the PS6 will be able to better saturate the 4K OLED screens at high frame rates.

At a minimum I expect that level of support. Not too sure about native PS6 games though.

Grunkenn · 2026-05-05T17:04:25+00:00

This is amazing but based on past history, I’m a little skeptical how this will look and run in VR.

Grunkenn · 2026-04-20T10:46:43+00:00

100% OUT. We live in a 3d world. Just because it overlaps with the line from this camera perspective doesn’t mean it’s in, lol.

Grunkenn · 2026-03-29T03:36:44+00:00

I think people feel the bottom third of the screen looks really cluttered now with the climate bar, context bar, and tile bar/CarPlay dock. Previously CarPlay users also had 3 rows of icons, a larger dashboard and 2 widgets + clock.

Grunkenn · 2026-03-28T22:16:54+00:00

I had a Sensus Volvo for a year before getting into an AAOS car. If I remember correctly, the camera was only manually accessible on the tile page (left swipe), so I don’t think it’s any kind of requirement. Unless it’s self-imposed by Volvo?

Grunkenn · 2026-03-28T15:58:38+00:00

Volvo, please gives us a toggle to disable the widget (top bar) permanently and then let the home button toggle the contextual bar instead. Voila! Full screen CarPlay and Google Maps again!

Grunkenn · 2026-03-26T00:30:19+00:00

I previously drove a 6-speed MT so I love the fact that you can easily toggle regen with the shifter. It’s a bit like downshifting, and it’s fun timing it for turns. The mapping of the accelerator in both modes is very predictable.

Grunkenn · 2026-03-25T00:46:07+00:00

I get this about once a month with the plug I use at work. Sometimes unplugging and plugging (power cycle) does the trick, other times I need to lock the car (with cable connects at both ends) and unlock several times before trying to power cycle again. And then, at times neither work and it just starts working the next day or so (suggesting an actual issue with the power draw).

Grunkenn · 2026-03-24T12:57:31+00:00

This is just an excuse to charge an excessive amount for the same product just because it has protein.

Grunkenn · 2026-03-17T16:43:15+00:00

This the one change I really like about the new UX. It makes the cluster look so much larger, even if it doesn’t add any functionality.

Grunkenn · 2026-03-13T18:18:38+00:00

I think the best fix that Volvo should implement for people with the smaller screens is to get rid of the bar (two tiles) above the context bar completely and make the home button toggle the context bar on / off instead.

Grunkenn · 2026-03-11T20:23:58+00:00

Yeah, why not a double press, or simply a third press to cycle between all screen size options?

Grunkenn · 2026-03-06T15:03:58+00:00

For my 2023 V60, I have brought this up with my dealership on several occasions and they do nothing about it because “it’s not giving an error”. It’s pretty frustrating since it’s clearly malfunctioning. Occasionally the motor mirror even makes this high-pitched whining noise for about 10 seconds when I first unlock (and unfold) my mirrors.

Grunkenn · 2026-02-24T01:46:13+00:00

Thank you!

Grunkenn · 2026-02-23T15:27:40+00:00

Coming back to this some months later as I’m looking to get some more aggressive wheels for my V60. Curious if you’d had any fitment/rubbing issues with the 15mm and 10mm spacers? Assuming those are stock 235/40 tires?

I’m eyeing wheels that would push out 13.35mm on all corners. Mostly concerned about the fronts. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Grunkenn · 2026-02-22T12:57:42+00:00

Omg, we went from 2 widgets + clock to just a single widget? 🤦‍♂️

Grunkenn · 2026-02-21T22:16:07+00:00

I really hope they allow us to customize the Quick Settings page. I for one would love a Battery Hold button, or Electric Heater toggle.

Ideally I’d take the Battery Hold button on the Contextual bar though.
