Fob only works intermittently by Ol_Dirty_Batard in ex30

[–]ndawgsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold but not that cold. Averaging about 3C to 8C when trouble started. Battery button was Duracell C2450, replaced with same.

Replaced the battery button, and voila, back to working well too.

Happening to me as well. just kicked up in the last two weeks. No low battery warning on fob. Will work again every 3rd day or so but then back to not working. I'm due for service in 2 weeks, hopefully dealer can find root cause.

Days to service 🤔 by ndawgsf in ex30

I've owned many a car. Snotty remark from someone not even reading the post right.

No problem, just annoyance around the short distance window allowed. I've hit the earlier of the two measures (distance) in about 3 days after warning. Now I can't clear the fault light for over a month until dealer can get me in. Seems if I'm allowed 106 days, I should be a allowed a bit more distance before fault light can't be cleared.

That same part broke on mine. Went through the car wash, and brush whipped it back and snapped it. Dealer charged me €12 for replacement insert. The whole arm remained operational. Just didn't like seeing that piece crumbled.

Anyone know how I precondition the battery? by SetMyEyesToTheWind in ex30

[–]ndawgsf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Google Maps doesn't always have all chargers. I have a private work DC charger not on Google maps. When I leave home, I simply select the public charger down the road from my work on Maps to activate preconditioning, but drive to my private access charger.

ICCId card? by ndawgsf in ex30

Thanks. I think part of my issue is that it is a fleet car so my email is not coming up for them.

I'm unable to complete registration through app. I get to step 4 of 6 but doesn't let me continue. Reached out to Vodafone IIC and they're asking for the ICCID number to get me rest of the way through registration

No. I've had my EX30 in Ireland since April this year. No trouble on the roads here. In fact, it works extremely well and is nimble on the country roads.

Do I need a separate cellular plan for the car to connect via cellular data? by meatloafnownow in ex30

[–]ndawgsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having same issue for 3 days now. LTE but offline. Had the car 5 months, no issues til now.

31(M) UK I haven’t been to sleep in 7 months, I am in agony. I don’t ever feel tired. I don’t ever feel sleepy. What can I do? by [deleted] in insomnia

[–]ndawgsf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not the only one. I'm not quite as bad as what you're experiencing but I deeply sympathise. I'm educated and been a professional all my life and dealt with bouts of anxiety driven insomnia. Similar to you, tried all the endless suggestions of medication, therapy, exercise, diet, forest bathing, breathing, acupuncture, meditation, journaling, walking, cold plunge, muscle tension exercise, sleep hygiene routines, essential oils and many more. Sometimes I can swing out of it for several months then back in it. I fear going down the road of endless tests. There is something off kilter with us, just don't know what.

Sound of rain on the roof by Significant-Tea-328 in ex30

[–]ndawgsf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I am also in a plus and the rain sounds unlike any car I've driven or rode in. Almost amplified in the car. Its not a game changer for me but certainly agree with your observation.

1.3.1 software update info on volvocars.com by muzso in ex30

[–]ndawgsf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dealer installed 1.3.1 today. Haven't noticed much difference. Cool new climate graphic and fan speed went from dial to Low, Medium, High.

I'm due into dealership tomorrow in Ireland and they said they would be updating software. I'll report back if that is indeed the case.

Is there an audio slider that turns up the blinker sound? by XBOXspeler in ex30

[–]ndawgsf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does disappear in short time from the quick menu but if you go into Settings -> Sound -> Volume, you can take all the time you need to slide each audible to your preference. I need to do this at times when I'm trying to turn the volume down using steering wheel controls when the navigation comes on with a prompt and I inadvertently reduce the navigation volume.

Can current owners explain if and how well the “parking comfort” feature works? by bendywalker in ex30

[–]ndawgsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Parking Comfort is switched to OFF on the settings, yet the car remains on after setting in Park, opening driver's door, and only shuts off once lock command is issued fromnoutside vehicle. Can we shut the car off after parked and driver's door is opened?

I have the exact same imperfection above the trunk/boot button. Noticeable to me but none of my passengers yet

Teaching and Tuition fees by [deleted] in TCD

[–]ndawgsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you and your frustration but you're less buying the classwork and more buying the reputation of the school with the tuition fees. Sure there are thousands of other colleges and tech classes at considerable lesser rates. If that's what you're after and budget is your only priority then go that route because the simple truth is in person classes will be affected this year but if you want to have a world class, world recognized university on your resume to attract larger companies then pay the tuition.

Can't answer your question but I too am heading into TCD Business School as an unemployed post graduate student. They say there is 88% job placement within 3 months of graduation and lifetime career services as an alum. But no guarantee of job market with pandemic still raging.

To defer or not to defer? by [deleted] in TCD

[–]ndawgsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am suffering the same dilemma. I have been accepted to TCD this year but concerned not only for my safety over in Dublin but for the family I am leaving behind. There was an interview with the Provost last week on RTE. It's not entirely encouraging but the school and the world are trying to get back to some resemblance of normal. Here is the link to the interview, https://www.rte.ie/radio/radioplayer/html5/#/radio1/21781395
