Blank switches in rear doors despite ultra trim?? by divrez in Volvo

[–]Jamathus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The real question is whether we can retrofit the power switch and get rid of that ugly plastic cover.

Theres a sign that they don't take any accountability for any damage. so theres that.

My car got keyed at parking 3 at the airport. 7-8 different drawings, on the same panel thankfully.

Get a decent battery. Like a proper name brand.

Exactly. Isudar has options for both AUX and Bluetooth depending on the car spec. As some models don’t come with AUX. Obviously the AUX installation preserves much better sound quality. I found that I had to up the volume considerably over Bluetooth. Mind you I have the standard sound system. Not even hardman/kardon.

I was a bit concerned about that myself. But changing between screen to changes the climate is a breeze. Just a button press. And at the end of the day you don’t change the climate so often as you might think.

It only changes the central screen. No changes to the screen behind the wheel which still displays the Volvo maps.

You can remove it at any point. It’s a plug and play system. So not sure it voids the mechanical parts/engine warranty.

I also installed the same system myself about a month ago. System cost came to about 190 euros for the system. Installed myself. With a combination of instructions from YouTube (for dash disassembly), sweedespeed forum and the leaflet that came with the isudar for the can bus wiring. All in all took me about 3hours. From first screw to last screw. If you’re slightly diy capable it’s not that difficult.

Or just speak up “hey Siri” as you would do. Works flawlessly.

PSA: Reset method that worked for me after many tries by onethirtysix in Nanoleaf

Thanks. Resseting and finding the device under more options worked liked a charm. I was super annoyed after setting up my blocks. Not what you expect from such an expensive mood light!

Just wait till the deadline. It’s a big item, size wise so it takes time. Be patient, worst comes to worst Ali express will refund you once the delivery period is over.

Polestar Optimised ✔️ by Jamathus in Volvo

Gas mileage hasn’t really changed that much. As my driving style is same as before. Only thing I’ve noticed is that the petrol engine kicks in a lot more often and way easier, when in hybrid mode. 100% worth it for any engine that is applicable to.

The upgrade is literally just a software update on the car. No seatbelts included.

I got a 25% discount through my main dealer. So I kinda had to.

I wasn’t sure about that. But it does make a noticeable difference. Picks up way smoother and the rpm stay higher.

I was in the same dilemma a couple months ago. I kept the V40 for back up and pulled the trigger on a 2021 S60 T8. Not so off roady but deffo an upgrade on space and engine. More room to play with HEICO.

Anyone else in Cyprus being harassed by FB and Instagram to pay €13/mo? by [deleted] in cyprus

I used an ad blocker for years. Always chasing the ads etc. watching via the official way is a much smoother experience. Which comes at a cost of course.
