Volvo On call renewal

[hash67]

hi all, so we have a 2011 xc90 and the oncall will expire shortly. It is also due a service and so will get the 12 breakdown once it is serviced.

Has anybody renewed on call and was it worth it?

I would quite like to keep the app functionality but dont need the breakdown bit.

thanks

If you don't renew On-call, you will get an advisory message every time you start the car.
You can cancel the message, but it returns every time you start the car.

Unfortunately not on my 2010 Exec.
These App features are only for the 2012 models onward I think.

Ours is a 2012 model year exec and lots of things are not supported vai the app. I have renewed today for 2 years and will make sure come service time they remove the cost of the breakdown assurance from the service cost.

pid £241 for 2 more years.

Worth saying the sos bit still works without the subscription, it is the app and breakdown service that stop without the subscription.

Cheers

Is the on-call worth renewing when one has an older model ? Have a MY06 XC70 and not sure what features it has to offer for the older model years ?
Anyone experienced the pro's and cons ?
