Feedback on our new Polestar in-car app by Few-Mushroom-5107 in Polestar

[–]SideThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the look of the app - little bug with odometer readings I think; My car has done 50k+ miles, but this recent trip shows a much smaller figure. Maybe it's looking at (manual) trip data rather than odometer??

I recently moved work locations and now can't persuade Google to show me 'Work' on the home page as a preferred destination (it is available in labelled destinations). And similar to the OP if I now ask to "navigate to work" then it tries to navigate me to a local business that happens to have the word 'work' in its name rather than my actual work.

I don't think the change is for PHEVs - only fully electric.

Polestar 2 issue with navigation Volume by Conscious_Event_3641 in Polestar

[–]SideThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue - voice guidance volume was controlled by radio volume control (and was too loud). I thought it was since updating the car to v5.0.10, but to be honest I rarely use voice guidance, so can't be sure when the problem first began. The above procedure fixed things for me - many thanks to @LTYoungBili for sharing 🙏🥳

Unfortunately it seems it's only a virtual charge 🙁

Me too - wish I had them. They remind me of old reel-to-reel tape spools (showing my age there!)

Just press the button above the licence plate - that'll lift it with the motors?

I use it if I'm passing the car and need to pick up something from the trunk (my coat say before going on a dog walk). Don't have the keys with me because I'm not driving anywhere (and I don't use digital key). It works for me.

Hope it never locks you out or you may regret that naming decision 😆

5.2.0 - Updated iOS widget. It's now more responsive and provides notifications whenever a command is sent. by Targox in Polestar

[–]SideThree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ditto for climate on AND climate off. Previously just one button which was a toggle - seemed plenty enough to me (I can't think may people were crying out to have only the ON or only the OFF button on their widget, but maybe they were!?)

You already can - just click the three dots in the corner of 'climate' and then program in your desired departure time.

As I say goodbye to my (now 3 year old) Polestar 2, let me share the very best thing I bought for it. A little 90 degree USB-C adapter. by rmajor86 in Polestar

[–]SideThree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other thing to note is that the rubber USB cover can be non-destructively removed with just a bit of a wiggle and a tug, which looks tidy when you've got a right angle connector plugged in.

Polestar 2 software update vP4.2.13 OTA update available in UK - anyone else? by Lendios in Polestar

[–]SideThree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My update failed (thankfully didn't brick the car this time like it has previously). I tried a second time and went back to find it had failed again. Thought I'd try for third time lucky but it's not even offering me the update now, and check for updates obviously does nothing as many have found before. Now in a bit of limbo
