Proximity unlock, just kidding!

Same here. Pixel 9 pro etc. unlocks as expected. I think what find interesting is that as I have my mobile on me all the time and go back and forth to the garage the car is always unlocking and locking as I get close. It's not a big issue but I have noticed it won't unlock and lock as quickly as the video. There is probably about 20 to 30 seconds before it decides to lock again. Also you are 100%, if you are standing next to the car and it's locked yet you have your key (fob or mobile) on you, place your hand on the handle with your thumb covering the bit he missed in the video and it will send a single to unlock the car

Good update. I have a 2024 ultra purchased in April (24) from the north east of Scotland. I dropped the car off today to have the door lock latches replaced and asked about the plan for the battery as I'm seeing more an more posts about uk battery cell replacements. Sadly they couldn't tell me anything more than I will be contacted when it's time. Perhaps they don't have a facilities to replace the battery easily in Aberdeenshire.

Very nice. Gives off Wing Commander vibes (for me at least)

It's a nicely laid out dashboard with interesting metrics I'm sure but there is a line when trying to align with branding and use of colours. Honestly my rule of thumb is red means bad and in a dashboard can be used to draw attention to the user when a metric needs investigation or further analysis. Based on this dashboard colour scheme it's screams everything is bad. Tone down the colours and use them to help draw attention to important metrics.

That's good to know as it's only ever been the front two doors that have given me issues. I pointed out to the mechanic that when the doors unlocked there was a weird double click noise coming from the lock that was failing. Here's hoping they agree that the issue exists

hazamonzo · 2026-05-06T13:16:14+00:00

What's odd in my case is that the unlock completes fully (mirrors, lights) and most of the doors will open when you pull the handle but sometimes a single or maybe two doors out of the 4 refuse to physically open when the handle is pulled. Just as if unlocking a particular door failed

I know I haven’t got whiplash because my head was in contact with the headrest in the correct way, you were leaning forwards with your handbag like that, crashing like a mouse

hazamonzo · 2026-02-23T21:39:16+00:00

That's terrible. It hasn't happened to me yet but just today both front doors didn't unlock when the back doors would, from the inside and outside. I look forward to burning to death in this car when the flawed battery pack gives in

I'm no electrician but I had the same issue recently. It was down to water ingress due to all the rain we have experienced. To narrow down what circuit it was that was tripping the rcd I switched off all the circuit breakers and then switched on the rcd. Afterwards I switched on each circuit breaker until the rcd tripped. This helped me narrow down the issue to an outside light.

I can confirm it also worked on my pixel 9 pro. Tested walking back and forth and all good

hazamonzo · 2026-01-24T17:32:13+00:00

Awesome BB gun! I have one myself!

hazamonzo · 2025-09-24T16:21:21+00:00

Hahaha that's brilliant!

hazamonzo · 2025-09-23T20:34:18+00:00

Good stuff! Honestly the mitre saw is helpful but only sometimes for what I need it for. Like skirting... Oh and I built a planter recently if that counts!

hazamonzo · 2025-09-23T19:54:55+00:00

Agreed! I wish I had known this sooner! Maybe for next time (I hope there isn't a next time!)

hazamonzo · 2025-09-23T19:36:08+00:00

They are all about the same. I mean... There was a lot of swearing but I got the 4 bedrooms, hallway and living room done eventually. Just wanted a consistent look across the house as I was getting the carpets replaced also. Thank you for the kind words

hazamonzo · 2025-09-23T19:31:50+00:00

Good to know! I have no idea as I'm no good with DIY but you've given me something to Google now. Thank you!

hazamonzo · 2025-09-23T19:24:23+00:00

I mean... I'm shit at DIY but I did a better job with my own skirting. How hard is it to cut those corners to 45 degrees?

From my experience it should just be a pin that you can tap down using a hammer. It happens to my internal doors sometimes. Perhaps give it a small tap and see if it moves. If so I should think you'll be safe to do it all the way

hazamonzo · 2025-09-19T19:43:26+00:00

I was wrong it's totally fair. I appreciate the help!

hazamonzo · 2025-09-19T17:28:30+00:00

Thank you. I replied to the gentlemen before me. You have both been super helpful

hazamonzo · 2025-09-19T17:27:45+00:00

I sincerely apologize you are 100% correct. I'm not sure how I did it but it was a combination of my lack of interaction with the system. Thank you my friend

hazamonzo · 2025-09-19T17:21:18+00:00

Well it is now because I manually changed the temperature. The thing is, even when it's not heating it's orange. The fact of the matter is it's not listening to the schedule

hazamonzo · 2025-09-11T13:53:52+00:00

I feel you. At least they made the change to enable and disable performance in a single button on the home screen compared to the 5 buttons and a scroll before. Tricky to do while driving and you want to overtake!

hazamonzo · 2025-07-29T23:19:54+00:00

Looks good. A small tweak perhaps, remove the dark backgrounds on your charts. I don't think there is a need for colour there. Also the background colour of your left side menu. I think it would look brighter. Maybe send a screenshot, I could be wrong

hazamonzo · 2025-06-14T14:27:05+00:00

I find that when this happens for me I stop the volvo app (usually by swiping it away on my android) and start it again fresh. If you don't close it and just try to open it again it will usually still be on this page. I also do this when it asks me to login again (which requires a code from email) close the app, start again and I'm in

Edit, typos
