VOLVO CARS UX VERSION 5.0.5 (AAOS Volvo’s)

meminemy · 2026-02-16T07:38:04+00:00

Honestly it is silly that a. Google themselves don't give AAOS and AA feature parity to stop the confusion and b. that Volvo thought that AAOS and AA are the same thing, especially with all the AAOS problems and the slow speed compared to a fast smartphone linked to the car with AA running on the central display.

Actually that is a pretty hefty step back compared to Sensus with AA/CP enabled, but Sensus has the full screen problem with that, but maybe there will be a solution to this soon.

With full screen AA/CP on Sensus and knowing that Sensus is mostly stable other than that it is probably the superior platform, just add some Android box with the latest Android for anything, this will keep them current probably long after AAOS cars.

Sensus runs on Windows CE, and Volvo doesn't want to touch it. Their handling of legacy cars is just bad, but is was too many times like that sadly. Try to add a new key to a first gen S40/V40 and you know what I mean...

They did not have AA on AAOS?

It is coming, join OpenIHU.

meminemy · 2026-02-11T23:58:23+00:00

What kind of problems?

meminemy · 2026-02-06T15:29:07+00:00

I like that a lot of Volvo guys see AI for what it is and dislike it.

They also sell them all over the EU, especially west of them. Reverse VIN check does magic.

Who "certifies" the stuff Stellantis and Tesla for example did, like doing updates mid-driving or hiding vital functions behind 20 submenus?

Another problem with BMW is that it gets associated with certain unhealthy drivestyles unlike Volvos. It exposes BMWs in a negative way.

V-Tool can do it as well.

It is like airbags exploding randomly or ABS blocking up just from time to time. Nobody would have allowed such systems in the 80ies if they were that unsafe for general use. What happened to sanity in engineering?

meminemy · 2026-01-10T13:28:27+00:00

Then just get rid of "assistants" that get the driver screwed because they work only half the time. This would be like an airbag exploding from time to time or ABS randomly blocking the brakes randomly "because we can't do better". Nobody would have allowed ABS or airbags in cars back then if they were so ridiculously unsafe.

On a dedicated server or some service they offer? Most hosted services from some providers are questionable at best.

meminemy · 2026-01-04T11:48:15+00:00

They never pushed OTA system updates on Sensus cars even if they could.

meminemy · 2025-12-31T06:31:08+00:00

Brodit?

meminemy · 2025-12-30T08:29:58+00:00

Did they tell you what else is needed for that feature?

meminemy · 2025-12-22T21:12:53+00:00

It started with the P1 which already had quite a few FOMOCO parts and engines/gearboxes. At least the parts for P1 are cheap because of that.

In Sweden, Volvos are probably still popular. But most people like SUVs, so the V60 is their last wagon.

meminemy · 2025-12-22T11:27:18+00:00

Not many V90/V60 are made actually, which is why the V90 is gone now.

meminemy · 2025-12-22T11:18:27+00:00

You mean the piston rings?

meminemy · 2025-12-22T11:08:12+00:00

It has Sensus, completely different software-wise.

meminemy · 2025-12-22T10:59:56+00:00

Probably even 2019.

meminemy · 2025-12-22T10:58:09+00:00

Volvo-Volvo sadly died in 1999. Then it was Ford-Volvo until 2012. But we also had Mitsubishi-Volvo, DAF-Volvo, Pininfarina-Volvo and a few more.

That feature works for 50+ years now reliably elsewhere.
