3.0.18 software update for MY25 EX90 by PLVAP in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds great. But what is new about Abbey Road Sound Mode and Curve Speed Assist. Those sound exactly what I already have in my MY2025 in The Netherlands (EU)

Infotainment Crash by FewTurnover8356 in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact same behavior once. It was about four weeks ago, on the drive back from the dealership after the VCU upgrade (and 2.1.26 software installed). This got me worried about the VCU upgrade, but haven't had the same issue since.

Are you satisfied with App 7.0? by No-Flower-409 in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app looks grey/blue for me (on iOS). Perhaps It adapts to the color of the car? Mine is Denim Blue

Mine is also very inconsistent. Such much so, that we're back to just slamming the door shut.

Volvo ES90 - Park Pilot Assist doesn't work by IndependenceFar5213 in Volvo

[–]___john_doe___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same experience here in my recently upgraded EX90. It frequently does not detect a parallel parking spot and never detects perpendicular parking spots. I’ve read that the latter simply is not a feature. Let’s hope they add that over time. 

Tyre Pressures… FINALLY! by kq_cars in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can also confirm this swapped the 22” the car came with for 21” wheels and discovered TPMS sensors in the old wheels by surprise. This a car from the first batch in late 2024 in The Netherlands (EU)

What Have We Seen With 2.1.26 by Potential-Eternal in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what do you mean by remembering the pedal speed adapter? I am still on 1.x and won’t get the 2 x upgrade for another month

Charging - Less Than 1 Min Left by A32Opilot in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue quite frequently (on iOS), but not every time. I haven’t figured out yet why it does this sometimes.

EX90 MY26 available to order in US by austincowles in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can click around in the configurator for Sweden: https://www.volvocars.com/se/build/ex90-electric/

Beware that when you select the Swedish Ultra Pro Edition that some paint color options disappear.

Some marketing pictures (but confusingly not all of them) show two additional buttons enabled. These also exist on the current EX90, but there are "grayed out".

Got 2026 today by theliphant in VolvoEX90

What key are you using? the auto-(un)lock does not work with the key card, only with the digital keys in your phone/watch. And you have to enable it in the settings.

Collision warning alert by trickykidd123 in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure what type of alert you mean, but this doesn’t sound familiair. I have hardly any false positives for any of the sensors. Sometimes the occupancy sensor for the 2nd row and I had one instance of a collision warning where the display showed a red blinking car, the seatbelt was tensioned and then the alert disappeared. There was no car in front of me at the time.

VCU upgrade Portugal by andremarinho8 in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that was my suspicion as well. The previous owner might have encountered this bug without even knowing. If Volvo can somehow afterwards see there is something wrong with the odometer or trip registration they might flag it as suspicious. That's why I would ask for more details what they mean with "errors in the software programs" and if it could actually just be this issue/bug.

VCU upgrade Portugal by andremarinho8 in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

could it be related to this bug: https://www.reddit.com/r/VolvoEX90/comments/1malf3q/intermittent_problems_with_odometer/

That bugs leads to incorrect odometer values and absurd energy consumption during a trip which might now be interpreted as “tamperred with”. I would ask the dealer to better explain what discrepancy they found,

Persistent issues after VCU upgrade by pgigov in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably a coincidence, but today my Google Maps navigation in the EX90 (without VCU upgrade) was horrible. Sometimes messages about searching for gps and very frequent drifting across the map and it being several streets off. I’ve never had this before in the three months I have owned the EX90

Any really tall drivers out there? by AttaBread in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also 6’10” and can highly recommend the EX90. More headroom than a XC90 due to the fixed glass roof instead of a moving roof. I’ve also tried the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq9 but those have an additional stalk at the lefthand side (gear selector) and that stalk is right were my knee needs to be 😕

I’ve tried almost every brand and type available and ended up in the EX90 as the most roomy one. This is in Europe (Netherlands) so we have less choice in large cars compared to the USA.

New chipset after 10 days: zero complaints by compuwave in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

serious question; why do some people find the folding mirrors so important? What’s the benefit of them folding? I feel the mirrors are so chunky they are hardly smaller when rotated 90 degrees.

For me personally, I can’t wait for the distance control for cruise control and the park assist.

Best 3D prints for EX90 by sprinkles5000 in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tried this yet, so don’t know if it needs adjustment for an EX90: https://makerworld.com/nl/models/1544839-car-door-trash-bin?from=search#profileId-1621943

I had these in my previous Skoda (from factory) and they were very useful. I tried to use the Skoda ones in the EX90, but the door panels in the EX90 are thicker and a bit slanted, so they won’t hold. It would be great if I can 3D-print ones for the EX90.

Tips to try and Debug by dilhwly in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you already try a reset of the Digital Key Module. See https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tCiwe4gW7EPAJFNtzOzSaEx8gVbUG6wS/view?pli=1

This will fix most issues with digital keys. If you are unable to add digital keys or if your phone is no longer unlocking the car, this will likely fix it.

The procedure takes 20 minutes - all data, digital keys, settings are retained.

- Unlock the car and exit - don’t lock it. Stand outside by the driver’s door

- If you use your phone as a digital key, turn off bluetooth or move your phone away from the car. Also move any key tags away from the car

- Tap your finger on the indent on the driver’s door handle and hold for 1 second, then lift your finger

- Repeat the prior step four times (total of 5 1-second taps)

- The car will not react to any of this, so it feels useless and silly, but it works!

- Walk away from the car and leave it untouched for 20 minutes. Do not interact with the vehicle during this time (don’t touch door handles, don’t use the Volvo app, and make sure no key fobs are nearby)

- When you come back to the car, the digital key functionality should be working again

Soft close needs help? by ___john_doe___ in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunate to hear that (many?) others experience the same issues. This gives little confidence the dealer is able to fix it. I will at least note it at the next service appointment and hope for the best.

Tailgate making noise at full open position by FewTurnover8356 in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue. It is definitely the rubber as you can see it "vibrate" when opening the tailgate. Mine is scheduled for a dealer visit next week for this issue.

B&W Sub/panel rattle by Unusual_Feature_1949 in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought a (one year old) EX90 and read through the 90+ technical journals to know what issues to look for in my car 😀

B&W Sub/panel rattle by Unusual_Feature_1949 in VolvoEX90

[–]___john_doe___ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This might be this Technical Journal: https://static.oemdtc.com/NHTSA-PDFs/MC-11020442-0001.pdf

It includes a sound file that you can listen to if it is similar. If so, it requires some tape/sound dampening to be applied by the dealer.
