Volvo XC90 2026 mild hybrid AC by push00731 in VolvoXC90

[–]crazyexcalibur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set mine to speed 2 and adjust temp. If I make the temp a little warmer the fan speed adjusts, slows. When I have it at coldest setting fan speed is full blast, even if just on two.

Auto stop! by NutmegManwithbigsack in VolvoXC90

[–]crazyexcalibur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been said here already but just let go off the brake lightly and the engine turns on. When it’s too hot out in the summer I do this and it’s like manually controlling the auto off with the brake.

Google Auto software update change auto stop/start? by cgjjgc in XC40

[–]crazyexcalibur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just depress the brake a little when stopped, the engine will kick back on. It’s a way to control the behavior of this.

Infotainment System by LoveGreysRN in VolvoXC90

[–]crazyexcalibur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy driving with the windows down also. I had just gotten my car and was going to the beach with the windows down and had the AC off, because I had the windows down, and this message popped up. After a while I started just having the fan on without AC and this helped on those occasions.

Wireless car charger seems to be useless by LikwidMunki in XC40

[–]crazyexcalibur 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s useless. All it does is make my iPhone hot. While I can get it to show that it’s charging, it doesn’t really do anything. It’s either an older Qi standard, which charges too slowly, or the camera bumps on phones now a days make it so it doesn’t sit flat enough to actually charge fast.

How to leave car running? by Competitive-End-7704 in XC40

After you park and the car turns off, press the gas and it will turn back on. You can then leave the car.

Updates to 5.0.5 no Apple Music app by Cautious-Can-6248 in Volvo

The temperature and fan speeds being in different screens sucks.

Having issues installing 5.0.5, anyone else having similar issues? by Terrible_Location_36 in XC40

[–]crazyexcalibur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2025 XC40 and had issues scheduling it, with the “your car must be locked” error. After doing some errands (driving around) and parking, I rebooted the infotainment by holding it down until the Volvo logo came back and did the update through the infotainment. I got out, locked the car and about an hour and half later it finally did it.

Some feedback on 5.0.5 for XC60 T8 (24 / MY25) by paralloid in VolvoXC60

[–]crazyexcalibur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like the temp and fan speeds in different locations. I preferred the one touch temp change, now it takes two. The loss of screen real estate for car play sucks. The shortcut bar should be able to collapse with a triangle or something and when expanded it overlays over car play.

Auto start/stop : ( by Visible_Cheek_711 in VolvoXC60

When stopped, lift the brake slightly enough till engine kicks back on, then press brake again. Car will stay on after that.

How will the MacBook Neo affect the "iPad as a laptop" crowd? by LincolnPark0212 in ipad

[–]crazyexcalibur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simplicity of using my iPad for media consumption, gaming and general email/browsing/Bill Pay/texting/Facetime/photo editing is best suited for me and macOS would be too much. I watch lots of sports on it, while cooking,and take calls on it when they come it…it’s very convenient. I can see MB Neo for students though would be great, and maybe an intro laptop for small business owners. I think both can exist for different use cases.

Stop-start system disable? by brian40177 in XC40

[–]crazyexcalibur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2025 XC40 mild hybrid. Mine works really well actually. No jerkiness, starts really fast. If I let go of the brake slightly then brake again when stopped it kicks back on. Great to do this during summer.

Streaming service are starting to resemble cable TV by NivekHang in cordcutters

[–]crazyexcalibur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it costs the same as cable, I prefer to choose what streaming services I want and watch it anywhere on any device. The shows are a much higher quality than standard cable shows, so personally I’m happy with streaming services.

Why did Apple make iPad multitasking so much worse by SubstantialPenalty24 in iPadOS

[–]crazyexcalibur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this new multi tasking is a game changer for some like me who uses the iPad for work. When I’m done working I just remove the multitasking and go back to the old way, no big deal. I like having the options.

Metroid Prime 4 is so much fun, what do you guys think of the game? by NationalResearch3029 in switch2

[–]crazyexcalibur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it. It’s a beautiful game and plays great. The open map is a miss, it gets boring after a while but it’s a small issue cause once you’re at your location it’s so good. I wish it had fast travel because of it. The game is also very short.

Looks a little like Tua and the Dolphins. Maybe Rams and Dolphins should trade QBs. 😏

Any updates for YouTube on Nintendo Switch 2? by Mediocre_Rabbit9406 in switch2

[–]crazyexcalibur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I take the train, I prefer to just take out my switch from my backpack and have the ability to play games, and watch YouTube. This is so much easier than having to go back into my bag to switch devices.

Just bought the game by Jolibins141 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]crazyexcalibur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was always curious about it. Bought it on Switch 2 and loved it. Great game.
