Sensus Connected Touch - Upgrade available

volvodriver · Feb 26th, 2014, 20:07

Got in the car this morning and noticed an update available (via a new icon in the status bar on Sensus)
Has anyone else seen this or done the update?
It looks easy.

It would be interesting to know how many people have got connected touch. I was going to have it until my car was upgraded to MY14.5 and with sensus connect I decided it was not worth the extra money. Has anybody else had it fitted.

Is there any difference in functionality other than you can presumably operate by touch screen? And how much extra is it - can't see it in the brochure/pricelist? As you say, Sensus Connect is now standard across the range but only with Nav models, otherwise you have to pay £500.

Connected touch is around £1000 for extra apps, touch screen, wifi (if you don't have VOC) and requires the dashboard of the car to be dis assembled to fit. If it were a factory fit for say around £400 it might be worth considering as a top up to connect but I think Volvo have scuppered their own sales. I would have considered it if connect had not been available, in fact it was on my order but removed it. I would think they will factory fit it at some stage but needs to be priced better.

I haven't found the touch version in any brochure, pricelist or online either

It's looking like SCT has been a short lived item. Mine was fitted in June 2013 and was the first that the dealer had fitted. Now it seems to have disappeared. I have had two updates on mine. Sitting on the drive it connects to the home wifi but to update I have had to download a file to the home computer onto a USB memory stick and then upload to the car via the USB socket on the SCT interface box in the glove box.
