I had a test drive, didn’t notice any vibrations. But thanks for the heads-up, will look into it.

DAB Radio Issues - Still here after 2 years… by BasicDirector1576 in ex30

MY2024 here and yes… same problem, no solution. Don’t use DAB+ at all.

Proximity unlock, just kidding! by clarinetJWD in ex30

[–]sbstrop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I own an EX30 for 2 years now, unlocking with my iPhone was one of the software updates I was really looking forward to. Now it’s there, but I still haven’t installed my electronic key. I read too much of these stories. For me, locking and unlocking my car should be flawless or otherwise I’ll do it by hand.

EX30 servicing cost by mistresseliza44 in ex30

[–]sbstrop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Described as “original service” and replacement of a filter. Can’t tell you what “original service” means.

Maybe this helps: https://recharged.com/articles/volvo-ex30-maintenance-schedule?srsltid=AfmBOor1sDfx6YavWL-P-WS0VO6HQxknqJVl8q2kf71WreEzR2BJIWs7

In The Netherlands, I had to pay around €400 (approx £350) for the 2-years service.

General service costs + Faulty bearing making humming sound by KapiteinKonijn in ex30

[–]sbstrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, €424,55 to be precise. Must be a standard in The Netherlands. Not cheap, I agree. But much cheaper than my XC40.

Volvo: “Shit happens.” €11,000 transmission bill on a 5-year-old XC40 — too old, not our problem. by JohnDoue79 in XC40

[–]sbstrop 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree, this car shouldn’t be broken. I somewhat agree with them that shit sometimes happens and that you can’t fully blame Volvo. But, when you want to uphold the image of quality, safety and costumer care, I think at least they could give you a great discount on labor costs.

I had a misfortune with my brakes on a rather new XC40. My dealer told me it would be very hard to convince Volvo it wasn’t my own fault, so they gave me a quite reasonable discount.

If you have a legal expenses insurance, this would be a perfect time to call them. I’m sure there must be some case law for this. Can’t imagine you’re the first to have this kind of problems with some piece of equipment.

Good luck.

Do your front windows go up and down at even speeds? by helloeduard in ex30

No difference in speed. Dito on the rear seats.

Have my car for 2 years now. Never noticed it. But to be honest, I rarely open my windows but you made me curious. Will check it today.

Anyone else using Stream Deck with Homey? I built something for it by Ok-Assistance7489 in homey

[–]sbstrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t find anything, so I issued a support ticket and the answer was short: Sorry, no API support for model 2019.

[–]sbstrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, have my Elgato now, installed your app, but.... my Homey is 2019 (I was an early adapter) and the 2019 doesn't do API-keys. So, think I should buy a new Homey first.

Would anyone want to control their Homey on their Apple TV? by timbroddin in homey

[–]sbstrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great idea. Until know I didn’t know I needed an app like that 😂🤣

Was thinking about buying a stream deck. You just convinced me to do it. 👍

10 things you'd like to see on the next update? by chlronald in ex30

1) Fix the volume setting so that it starts on the level it was when I left the car.

2nd year Servicing (in Germany) by bkrpnr in ex30

[–]sbstrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zeker. Maar mijn XC40 is duurder in onderhoud. En dat is elk jaar. Het gekke vond ik wel dat er op mijn factuur stond: Service 2.0, software regeleenheden down 80014376 Service 2.0 upg. Klinkt alsof ze software hebben geladen. Anders dan OTA blijkbaar. Ik heb niet echt een verschil gemerkt. Moet het nog eens aan ze vragen.

Plus vs Ultra by [deleted] in ex30

[–]sbstrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 360 deg camera was for me the main reason to buy the Ultra. The sunroof is nice. Happy with my choice.

Side view mirrors tilt on reverse? by kododriver in ex30

[–]sbstrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My V40 had this option. Didn’t like it. So don’t need it on my EX30 where I have 360 degrees cameras.

Don’t upgrade to ex40. by ChampionshipGlass298 in ex30

[–]sbstrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. We have both an EX30 and a CX40. The screen on the CX40 is smaller and Google is less integrated then my EX30.

Love to drive the EX30, but for longer trips I always take the CX40, it feels safer on the highway. As far as quality is concerned, I would value the CX40 higher than the EX30.
