2023 XC90 internet/SiriusXM questions
Hello! First time Volvo owner - picked up my 2023 XC90 B6 Ultimate a couple of days ago. I have a couple of questions that I haven't been able to find the answer to and was hoping someone might be able to help.
I originally looked at a 2022 and that car had wifi in the car (as an option). I assumed the 2023 model would have the same option but I can't seem to locate a way to turn on in-car wifi. I asked my sales associate and he said he doesn't think it has it anymore. My bad for not inquiring when I ordered the 2023, but wondering if there's a way to add in-car wifi (I have two little kids who use their wifi-only tablets in the car during trips). Right now I use my phone's wifi hotspot but I'd prefer in-car wifi (my X5 had AT&T Connected Car).
Also, is there a way to display the song playing on the SiriusXM screen (the screen with all the stations, not the full-screen display for one station). I mean when the list of stations appears on the screen, I'd like to see what song is on each station so I know if I want to turn it to that station. There was an option in my BMW to have that display but I can't seem to find it on the Volvo. Asked the sales associate, he said he didn't think it was possible (but since I know it was possible in other cars, I would be surprised if it wasn't possible in the Volvo).
I have tried Googling the answer and haven't found much (and that's where I realized there seems to be quite a difference between the 2022 and 2023). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

2023 XC90 recharge Ultimate (2 weeks old)
I have the same questions as OP below about SXM and wifi, plus additional ones. I did read on Edmunds before buying that they didn’t like the Google controls as much as the previous software, but I never dreamed they’d be so limited!
1) can’t find a way to tune to AM radio (for local MLB games), and I don’t want to use I heart radio app. Online googling shows a “library” button that seems to exist only in the previous software (the Sensa?)Even asking Google to play the station gets the response I want “ok, now playing” or sometimes “now streaming” but nothing happens!!!
2) Can’t tune to the 800’s in SXM which also has the home stream! My account says it’s in the “free trial” mode, but in my other cars, that trial was platinum (fully featured)
3) can’t set SXM to start at the beginning of the song (I think this is called “Entune”?).
All my other cars could do these things (VW Atlas and before that Toyota Sienna momvan).
There are so many things I’m hating about my new car. I was ready to buy an X5 PHEV in stock in another city 3 hours away but got unexpectedly delayed by my dog’s vet procedure so went to drive the XC90 recharge one last time. And they made me a great deal (plus the cargo space in X5 smaller).

My friend, I'm sure I'm hating on you, but there are also good casinos with open mostbet, I personally place all my bets here and I have no doubts at all, I recommend you to do the same because it's kind of indecent to sit on the same casino all the time, you should always look for something new until you find your ideal. Personally, I didn't find it very quickly, it took me years to find it, but it was worth it. I hope my speech made sense to you, because only players will understand each other.
