Hi Brainstrust,

Hot day here today, therefore I wanted to precool the car using the Volvo app. I can start the car remotely. I can navigate to the climate tab and click start to start the climate but nothing starts for the climate. Does anyone else have this issue? Mine is a 2023 XC 60 using the android auto operating system. Thanks.

 

I have a 2023 xc60 recharge. The remote climate works fine. I click on the fan and if its cold it turns on the seats and the steering wheel. If it's hit it dies the air-conditioning.
not had any issues on any iteration of the cars os or the app.

 

It appears that I can only remotely start the climate if the charging cable is plugged in. But I cannot remotely start the car if the charging cable is plugged in.

 

Not tried that. Used to work on my xc90

 

I wonder if I remote start the car will the climate also start. Otherwise seems strange to have inconsistent user experience. Must be a logical reason.

 

Yes, I will have a play with that and let you know

 

You need to set up what you want to turn FROM inside the car when remote started .
