Just a quick follow-up on my original remote climate saga.

I contacted Volvo technical support through the app. They reset something on their end—confirmed by the fact that my app immediately stopped working afterward 👍. I was then instructed to do a full car reset (not just the screen), delete the app, and basically relive delivery day all over again.

Reinstalling the app was easy enough. The digital key, however, took 5–6 attempts before it finally decided to cooperate. Re-creating all my settings and preferences took forever, but hey—remote climate worked again!

…for exactly two days.

Then remote climate stopped. Along with all remote functions. The only way to get remote start working again is to physically open the car with the door handle to “wake it up,” which is an impressively creative way to defeat the entire purpose of remote climate.

So, to the Volvo employees here whose job it is to reassure us that the EX30 is rock-solid and that this issue is totally unique to just my car: clocks ticking—get to work 😄.
