I have a 2021 xc60. It has the built in phone charger. I just bought a new iPhone 12 and can’t seem to get the two to work together.
The charger and phone seem to connect for a second but then the Volvo shows an error message that goes something like ‘Qi charger not working remove objects from the area and try again’.

they should be compatible...anybody else have an issue?

thanks

 

ur not alone. https://forums.swedespeed.com/showth...reless-charger

 

The new iPhones have a known issue with some third party wireless chargers. They are supposed to work, but sometimes do not.

 

I just picked up my 2021 XC90 - it is having the same problem with my iPhone 12 Pro. Dealer is looking into it.

 

Same problem. My husbands iPhone 11 works fine. So it’s clearly an iPhone 12 issue. I have the 12 pro but it seems to be @ny version of the 12. However, we recently took an 11 hour road trip, listened to audible over wireless air play (I bought an wireless adapter on Amazon for airplay) and only used 15% of the battery. We listened to Audible the whole time, a couple phone calls and several text messages. I was really impressed with the battery on that phone.

 

I have the same issue. New 2021 XC60, same error message with my iPhone and the Qi pad. Very frustrating. Please do let me know if you find any fixes.

 

Several posts have been placed on the Apple forum. The latest was this

“I was just on the phone with my Volvo dealer and they told me that they had been in contact with Volvo about it. Volvo indicated that there will be a software update in the 2nd quarter of 2021. You will have to book an appointment at the dealer to install the update. He told me to call them around Easter because that’s around the time where they expect the software to be released.”

and before that one user reference an article in Swedish which stated the same thing.

let’s hope this is true.

 

I just read on the Volvo download site that a system software release for April includes a fix for the iPhone 12 wireless charging issue
I hope they will download to the car this month without having to go into the dealership as I was just there last month for regular maintenance and won’t need to go in again for a while. I did notice a change last month with the camera display showing yellow path lines and I can only attribute those to a wireless download to the car.
