2022 XC60 Remote start with Volvo Cars App (Android v5.8.1)
I picked up my XC60 B5 (Inscription with climate and technology packages) last weekend and no one mentioned that the remote start didn't work for Android. My wife has an iPhone and I have a Samsung GS10. The salesperson couldn't get either of our phones paired in the app when we picked up the car. I figured it out on my own and discovered that the remote start wasn't working for me...which brought me to this forum! I then informed our salesperson about it and she seemed to admit that she knew about it.
I'm suck on 1.8 and can't get the car to update.
Google Play Store still showing 5.11 only.
The next time I go to the dealer it will be to surrender the car back to Volvo. Should be next week. Can't wait.
Remote start works on my 2023 XC60 B5. Just a data point, not bragging!
I'm pretty sure you are aware that remote start will not work if the doors are unlocked, but in case you weren't, now you are!
QUESTION:
I do not really understand the purpose/behavior of selecting one of "Leave in 5, 10, 15 min."
ANSWER:
Called my dealer and got an answer: All that says is how long before the car shuts itself off if you don't get to it right away.
