Remote start and stop are both very slow to operate since updates, over 35 seconds in my case, with good internet speed, car parked outside house. Phone using Virginmedia fast broadband. I noticed this after the update 4.12.1 but may have been the update prior to that one which effected the response time, now on 4.14.2 and has not improved. (Android)

When i sent location to car i got this straight on main screen with icon Go to.
If miss that one i still can find it in navi sat library. Of course if app will be able to send it out

Remote start worked great today on returning to the car in the baking sunshine.

Also noted today if you miss your destination sent from the app to the Sensus screen, it saves it in recents.

Yes, it does but it’s still a faff. If the sat nav decides to take a while to start up, then I have to sit there like a lemon before I can get to it.

Entering a post code into the Sensus sat nav is pretty much the worst sat nav experience I’ve had in any car. Even the “send to car” is annoying if you miss the prompt or the sat nav boots too slowly.

I’d really love it if the VOC app could send a destination to the car and for it to be automatically set as the current destination.

I agree about the post code entry being overly awkward. The satnav on my old Passat was much easier, although it then defaulted to a numbered post code rather than letters! Hopefully with Google being used in the future then this will all be better :)

I started the car remotely today whilst stood next to it. It took 9 seconds to fire up. Despite the car sending message continuing to complete.

How are people getting on with the VOC app with Recharge vehicles, I find the info given is not accurate, would be good to have an idea of batter changing progress, hardly ever seems accurate.

A new update was offered and that seem to give no charging information at all, I’ve reverted back to the old app, it also seems to report cable disconnect quite a lot when no problems withnit and the green light flashing.

VOC version 5.0.4, now known as "Volvo Cars", appears to have lost the option to remote start the car, unless it's buried somewhere.

I just check my app also I have version 5.0.4 and remote start is in Home tab as used to be.

Try to reinstall your app it could help
