I cannot figure out how to display the Date

johnskisalot · Feb 27th, 2021, 19:29

Hi I just purchased a 2019 Volvo S60 inscription and I am a bit frustrated----->>> my question:
Any idea how I can display or view the date on the driver screen or main screen? See the time fine but cannot for the life of me figure how to add the date display. Even Google and the manual is short on that info.
I can set the date format in settings [Settings-System-Date and Time] in the center display's top view to change settings for time and date format. but I would love to see an actual date on one of the displays. Much appreciated

Does AppleCarPlay/Android Auto allow you to show the date in the main screen ACP/AA window? I forget as I rarely used it but may be an option ?

One of these in the glove box?

Nice one Ferret but the calender quotation is not quite right.

Does the weather app have the date on it, I uninstalled mine as I never use it so I can't check.

There's nothing in the Sensus system that seems to use the date. My first thought would be the service interval screen, but that only tells you how many days until the next service.

It's possible that some apps might have the date displayed, but I can't get the internet to work in my car at home, so can't check.

Android Auto needs an accurate date to work.

When you sent text messages it will send the date and time, the clock requires the date so it can alter for summer and winter GMT, There may be other functions that require the date like fault logging etc.

Why do you need to be able to see the date in the car?
