I had VOC many moons ago on my first XC90.
Beside all the safety and tracking features, the selling point for me was the planned OTA updates, which would save some visits to the dealer.
Sadly, this never became available.
Have never bothered with since.

Did give some thought about it, regarding Sensus Connect, but am now convinced that I should be able to do all that is required with desktop/here.com and a mobile phone.
I can see the Android/iPhone app being handy, if as mentioned, one is prone to leaving the car unlocked.

One other point, when I had VOC, the staff at the other end, were not Volvo trained, they were a call service who were there to pass messages on.
They could tell where you we're, how much fuel you had, if doors and windows were closed and the ambient temperature and that was about all.

Footnote:- Around the time that I had VOC, it was stated that all European car manufacturers would be fitting a similar system, as standard, but this has never happened.
