Same issues here -- assured the car had CarPlay and after paying for it, while being shown round the vehicle told casually it wasn't working yet but would be delivered in an update soon -- trying now to find is it written in the specs that it has CarPlay or was the dealer just saying that to get the sale? Also red hot iPhone after wireless charging... Also maps turning off for no reason in the middle of a commute. Phone unpairs itself for no reason.

 

Anyone have any updated info on CarPlay?

 

Although today started bad with a left rear tire that picked up a very large nail, it turned out with a smile and good feelings re: my Volvo service department. I was ready to go to COSTCO to get a quick patch and fix, I knew the location of the nail and it was likely a place to safely patch but as I was driving that way I realized the closest Volvo dealer was only a quarter mile off my route so...... He looked at it and said "no problem, give me 30 min or so" (I could feel the tension in my day relaxing). In about 20 min he came back with the key and said I was good to go. Volvo covered the flat and I was near doing a dance.

Anyway down to the point of this thread and the problems. The rep said when I asked he had time to answer a few questions so I related much of what I've read on here RE: the '22 models w/Google and much of it not working on delivery. He was aware of that issue in that they have already finished the 'PDI' on many cars already bought elsewhere. He said that for some years back, all the cars received from the factory had to be placed on a rack and plugged into the server for connections to be finished but most of the PDI could be completed while it was on the rack. But some of the new '22 models w/Google and other new features could take up to an hour or more for that to finish and if it was disconnected prior to finishing, it would have to start all over. I've not personally driven a '22 or played with the system but he said the technology was great (he actually said 'Solid) and worked well once properly set up. Then the sales person on delivery should spend up to an hour if necessary going over every aspect of it to make sure the customer is as comfortable as possible. I'm pretty tech savvy myself but there is still some stuff I could have trouble with if I wasn't properly 'Indoctrinated' as Volvo doesn't pretend to work just like every other car were used to. I told him some folk on this forum had successfully tried a factory re-set and he acknowledge that could go far to getting much of the initial download completed. But he wouldn't recommend 'Doing or not Doing' that as a customer so it's just up to you.

That said, you can feel good about your purchase. If you don't want to go to your original dealer to get the work done, feel free to use any other one. The one that patched my tire for free today was not the dealer I purchased from.
Hope this info helps someone. And if you feel your car didn't get a proper PDI (Pre Delivery Inspection and Service), you can go back to where you got it or any other you can travel too. It may or may not be an appointment situation, just depends on their load at the time.

 

thank you for your advice! I talked to sales person. They could check the car the next day and it turned out that “emission system fault” was a software issue. So they update the software. It was about a week ago.
today I have this
”drive to workshop
propulsion system
service urgent”

ugh.

 

It’s a shame they changed the 2022’s. I purchased the 2021 XC 60 T8 last September. I have 16k miles on it and have had no issues. The wireless phone charger doesn’t work well with the iPhone 12 but I can live it that.

 

Can't agree more... Sorry, really for Volvo. And to me it isn't just the problems which could very well be teething problems. It is the very concept and design that I see under the hood from a technology perspective which gives me goose bumps. It would take a pretty sum of money for Volvo to pay me to drive a car like this. There is just no chance I would buy one. I am not sure which part of it is solid. I am certain the spyware code is but everything else? When I look at the brands which opted for this type of approach, none of them are in the luxury segment. Even Kia didn't dare to go this far down the toilet. Essentially what is happening is very similar to what has happened in the smarthome business:
Companies like Google start to take over the software, offering a free platform and gradually and increasingly making a lot of very basic functionality unnecessarily dependent on their cloud services under the cover of "improved services". While they are doing it, some are happily collecting your personal data, profiling you and reselling that data. Initially for targetted advertising purpose, but who knows. Some care some don't. The next step is to make the functionality so dependent on their services that they will potentially want you to pay for a subscription service... This is a business alternative to collecting data since the servers need to be maintained. Some companies will do both... collect and sell your data while collecting a subscription fee from you.
What is more problematic is that these simple functionalities are also becoming extremely unreliable because they are dependent on more and more hardware and software which can break and will break. Because they are exposed to the internet, they require constant maintenance and patching (upgrades) to remain secure. The constant upgrades occasionally break things. This is how... these days, the Volvo requires an internet connection in the US to have traffic information for the navigation for example. My 10 year old BMWs relied on RDS, (FM radio) so no need for internet connection. Now and new for 2022, the car uses Google map which even requires internet for mapping and routing. If you are out of cellular reach, or the Google server is down, or your software version is out of date, you may be out of luck unless you downloaded the maps which would then offer partial functionality. This is outright stupid. The old car navigation systems were much smarter. They had all the POIs and maps always available and would continue to work without cell connection or satellite coverage in tunnels and underground parking structures because the navigation was connected to the car orientation/compass, wheel turn angle and speed and could close the gaps of coverage. This is just one example but the entire Android idea goes much deeper. It controls the climate and a large number of other things in the car. Imagine the same problems with unlocking or starting the car... That's exactly what is happening right now with the MyQ garage door openers... if their server or your internet connection is down or you didn't update your app, it stops working. There is zero chance this '22 car can ever be as reliable as the previous years and it is by design.

 

anna-ru,

We just bought a new 2022 XC60 B5 about 3 weeks ago. The map on the console and the switch to turn on wireless charging did not work. The dealer did a reset and that was fixed. You can do this yourself if needed.

At about 500 miles, we were driving on the freeway and the check engine / emissions light came on. We took it to the dealer the next day and after opening a tech case with Volvo and checking for leaks etc., Volvo determined that the O2 sensor needed to be replaced with an updated version. About 2 weeks later no issues as of yet. Great car overall!! Sometimes there are some speed bumps with a brand new model. Hope that helps!

 

Thanks for the update, good example of what a warranty is for. It's a shame some who do not own the car want to shamelessly write about everything that 'might' be wrong but they need to feel important so..... Like I said in a previous post above, the service department I was in for my flat had already set up several cars bought from other dealers that didn't completely prep (PDI) their car prior to delivery. Glad yours is 'now' giving you what it should.

Rain is finally starting to leave the area here so after a week of 'soggy', it's time for a car wash.

 

Not to hijack the thread, but there is a software fix for the iPhone 12. Did it to our 2021 T8 and it works OK.

 

How can I do that? The map and main screen sometimes turns off while driving, hopefully reset would help.

Volvo is a great car, I agree. My previous car was 2015 nissan rogue so 2022 Volvo now is like a spaceship for me.
I just wish this Android system worked better.

 

For a reset:

There’s a wheelie at the bottom right corner of your display, that’s Settings.

Scroll down to System.

You’ll see Reset Options. Personally, I did both the factory reset and network reset.

Also check under Software update, too, just in case. It’ll tell you if you need an update.
I turned on the toggle for “automatic software download.”

For anyone looking, the XC60 is a fantastic car. Someone else noted that the only reason people post is because they’re having problems (I confess I did initially) but this forum has been incredibly helpful.

I have 2 vertebrae that are almost bone on bone, and I don’t get sore in this car, not even after 3-4 hours.
The interior is incredibly quiet and comfortable on the interstate roads, some of which need resurfacing here
(I have a ‘22 loaded Momentum B5, it drives like a dream). I’m an account manager covering 3 metros/states and I don’t regret this purchase at all! Love this car. It’s a sweet ride, my husband is jealous. Yes, right now it’s a quirky interface. But run your apps (SiriusXM, Spotify, etc) off your iphone on Bluetooth, you’ll have a great experience.

Good luck and let us know if the resets help.

p.s. I couldn’t get an appointment for 2 weeks when I called the dealer, and I just drove it in to the closest one. They looked at it right away. The schedulers are probably trained to stave off drive-ins?

 

I have all the same issues. I feel like the dealer is minimizing the issues. I have had the car a month and it’s been in the dealer more days than at home. The manufacturer is not taking responsibility.

 

Just noticed an update to the Google OS in the owner's manual. It speaks of version 1.7, which should be rolling out soon. Included in this update include SiriusXM and a bunch of other functionality. Stay tuned. I'll give an update once it downloads.

 

Same here. I live in Sweden and no support from Volvo and the list keeps growing. It truly is the worst car I've ever had.

3 months in now and the following:

TPMS random errors.
No Radio, all DAB apps just say "Loading...."
Bluetooth issues. Can make call but no sound through speakers
Rear sensor for opening boot never worked.
Volvo on call. Remote Heating dosent work. Remote starting sometimes works. No other features such as driving journal etc available on new model.
Google maps crashing during driving.

The now the worst one and most recent.....
This automatic braking when reversing just kicks in for no reason. Had to disable that. Nearly took the head of my kids.

 

OMG, so sorry you 2022 folk are having to deal with this, it's starting to become pretty clear the pie wasn't fully baked. RE: your most recent issue with the automatic brakes. When I took delivery of my 2021, my sales guy who was pretty good on the tech side showed me all the settings and recommended a few settings from information his customers relayed to him. On mine if I remember correctly there is a city settings for the emergency braking with three levels. He suggested the least sensitive setting and that one still keeps me from backing into someone even if they're walking three car links away. I think it was in the master settings but your 2022 manual would be the place to look. I hope that can be of 'some' help. Best luck going on. I'm sure they will get all this fixed, sadly they took the pie out of the oven too soon.

 

Did Volvo fix that issues ?
Picked up car yesterday and have already the restart issue every 5 minutes

 

they did. The actually just updated the system. I was told it wasn’t a technical issue, just an android glitch

 

Anybody else got a quality survey from Volvo? They asked lot of questions in there.
I expressed all my concers and problems with glitchy android system, google maps, no remote start, no apple carplay

etc.
hope they’ll read it.

 

My first post here and I want to share my experience with my XC60. Even though mine is European model with a diesel engine Android Automotive is the same. I got my car in the middle of July and so far I put about 8 000 miles on it. It is very reliable car engine wise and mpg is great thanks to diesel engine. Now about the problem child: Volvo really rushed this system and left a lot of options to be added later. I didn't have any major issues with the system except once that it was completely frozen and I could not control a/c or anything else. Simple shut down of the engine, lock and unlock of the doors and starting again fixed the problem. My car doesn't;t have a built-in data modem so I have to use Bluetooth tethering. This slows down android whenever there is a disconnect between the phone and the car. SOmetimes it takes a couple of minutes for google maps to start getting real traffic data or they just freeze until I establish a data connection. Spotify sometimes gets frozen and the only fix is to go and force close it in the settings/apps.
I am super happy with the car and this is not the first time that I get an unfinished product. The last one was my cell phone that was supposed to have dual SIM functionality working but the software was updated a year later to enable that feature. I am now super happy with the phone.
I feel the same for Volvo. In a year we will get a lot of new features and all the bugs will be fixed. This is the price that we pay for having the latest and greatest. I am patient and looking forward to new updates. I hope they give us Waze or at least Android Auto that I can run Waze of.

 

I got my new xc60 2022 2 months ago for my "60" birthday, but what a disappointment. Like many of you the radio was not working, unable to connect my iPhone, my key doesn't work properly so the car doesn't lock, cant open the hatch and a check engine light came on. But the worse part is that it took 3 weeks to get a service appointment. I am ready to trade this car is not worth my time and frustrations.
