When choosing this car I done lots of research and watched lots of videos. Here is my quick tour in the Volvo XC40 digital display. If you want to see anything else or ask my opinion please leave a comment.
Is there any way to make the map in the centre of the driver display to be 2D. The default 3D display is useless given that any turn more than a couple hundred metres/yards ahead is off screen!!
Sadly, since upgrade to Android Automotive, there is no more customizations available for driver display. Hopefully they will address this in future software updates.
When you turn off the car with your new gauges theme and when you turn on the car do the gauge themes stay like that or it resets btw I will use the performance theme this helped really much
They remain the same until you change them. All the settings can be saved to a certain key or profile so if someone else is going to drive the car they can have their own settings saved and to s different key. The car will recognise this when the car is started and change them automatically
I've been thinking about buying the R design , can you tell me if there is mood lighting included , or is it an option and also reversing camera is that as standard ?
You’ll need to do your homework on the models as the new 70 plate has had loads of options taken off. From what I have read the 20 plate is better. I have the mood lighting and to be honest it’s so subtle you barely notice it. I got some packs on mine so I got the 3D camera which is amazing but I believe you get a normal reverse camera as standard. With the 3D is also allows you to change the camera to the sides and front. There’s a really good Volvo XC40 page one Facebook that will be able to help
Hi, is it only the sensus navigation you can get in the middle? OR can you get GoogleMaps through CarPlay in the middle of the drivers display? Thanks in advance.
My screen is dark when I go inside the parking area.Not able to see the 360degree car inside to parking.Can you help me what setting I need to do?Before it was perfect don’t know what I pressed it’s dark now.
What do you mean when you say inside the parking area? It can go like this if it’s really dark when parking as the cameras do not have lights. If it is ok in the daylight it might be that the parking area is too dark
If you look at anything that’s touch screen it’s always going to get dirty. I keep some screen wipes in the drawer u see the seat and I blank the screen by holding the button and clean it with the cloth that come with it.
Screen has proximity touch sensor, meaning that you don't have to physically touch the screen for your input to get recognized. It's enough to move your finger close enough (ca 5 mm). It takes some practice to master.
