First Problem With V90. - Page 6

tem · Aug 24th, 2017, 10:06

Since I had the May update carried out, I have not experienced any more problems.
On the 'Home Screen', I replaced the Weather App, with Driver Performance and now only listen to TuneIn.

Hi,

it seems like many people have had sensus problems. Personally mine has been fine and I think it is brilliant. The best interface I have on any car by miles.

I also find the voice recognition faultless. It may be that my accent matches what the system expects.

Other issues though: the turbo pipe blew off and the radar/camera module fell off the windscreen. Both fixed brilliantly by the dealer.

I knew I was doing something wrong, I need to speak to the car in a Scottish accent.

I am afraid although I have live in Scotland for 30 years I still have a generic London/ cockney geezer accent.

Seems like Sensus was trained by a proper diamond.

We should all learn to speak 'geezer'!

I like the v90 and started to this forum. Frankly, amazing the amount of troubles you guys have. Put me offbuying a new Volvo for a while. For some wondering why it works for 6 months and start playing up... It is clearly the app you install / disinstall. Like you windows pc. It works great then gets clogged up by applications.

Incidentally, pretty sure sensus is windows based. on that basis, it will never be 100% reliable. Volvo knows this. It has signed an agreement this year with Google to move to Android. Best to wait a couple a years... Dreaming of a coupe 90 personally ;-)

That would rather surprise me, applications such as Sensus are often written in a Linux flavor.
Do you have specific reasons to think it's Windows based?

I tend to find if you go on any forum for a specific car you'll soon find many issues that many have... But for most people most modern cars are very reliable - you tend to post on forums when you've got a problem!

sure... but still.. Sensus seems to be way above average in terms of troubles. Make you want to buy an 20 old merc classic when you read this ;-)
