The 360 camera is definitely worth it and (actively) use it every day.

It is better to have it than not have it, but I do think it could be better.

I Would like to see a further distance looking back behind the car.
Much better quality video at night.

Mine superimposes the yellow/orange/red blocks on the 360 camera, I thought this was standard. Your comments seem to indicate that yours does not. So when you are in the 360 camera mode and you approach another car do you not see any visual warnings? just the sound from the sensors?

Sometimes the blocks superimpose but at other times the camera blanks out leaving just the car outline and the blocks.

It's not a biggy so I haven't tried to figure out under what conditions it does this.

What I would really like Volvo to update is, show the 360 and reverse cam in split screen.
Though I know it would be tricky because of the portrait screen oreintation.

Exactly, and this is what BMW's do, the sensor screen is largely redundant when you have 360, so why you don't at least have the option to default to 360 I shall never know. I raised this on a thread a couple of years back!!

Is it not voice activated yet?
Press the button, wait 15 secs for a response, shout the command four times in different accents while it suggests an array of irrelevant songs, press button again, wait another 15 secs, then shout cancel.
Sensus, what a slick system!

My god I was shouting at Sensus what ever it was called the other day, as it could not make a simple phone call, I know it was probably my fault, it would help though if they actually made the commands logical, still I might get to learn it by the time I sell the car

Love the 360 camera, very accurate. Agree I wish it was easier to select manually and night time vision could be better, also built in recording on the cameras to save having a separate dashcam. Still an amazing bit of tech though.
