Thats just the standard remap without any input from me about what I want from the map. I last had a VW Passat mapped and that included multiple rolling road uses and road tests to get it right for me. It ended up almost spot on for my uses.
Also, it doesnt go to Volvo for servicing. A trusted local independent is great for that. So no hope of an overwrite.
So, all things considered, I dont think I will use Volvo.

Back to the original question.
Experiences of remaps?
In particular Shemtech 😉😉👍👍
You won't have any input in a Polestar remap. It's a standard polestar upgrade bespoke to each model of Volvo.

Ps I got Polestar not long ago for £675. I got them to reduce the price a bit by taking advice here by shopping round the dealers and it worked.

The reason I went with Polestar was that it meant my Volvo selekt warranty would not be invalidated and if I ever needed a software upgrade from Volvo, the Polestar would not be overwritten, whereas third party mapping would be.
