My car has just arrived at the dealer from an order placed 10 weeks ago, its a MY18 and I had to add front parking and the pro pack to get VOC and the front sensors, I have the hard copy brochure from MY18 as well as the pdf.

If I use the MY2019 spec for spec, its more expensive than the MY2018, I added the pro pack, park assist pilot, 4 zone climate, privacy glass and the 12.3’’ screen.

Hi there. Were these all factory options? My MY18 arrives in a week or so and it was a stock car so i had no influence on the options. I have had Android Auto added for £300 as a dealer option. I would ideally like VOC (Volvo on Call) and front sensors if its possible to add afterwards

Hotbaws,

Before investing in a Mi-Fi unit give Bluetooth tethering a try. It works pretty well if you're on Android. Just remember to turn on Bluetooth tethering in the phone's Tethering & portable hotspot settings page. It's not as fast as Wi-Fi, but for everything except perhaps maps updates, it's fast enough and it automatically connects as soon as you get in the car, so you don't have to think about it.

Until MY19 which hasn’t been delivered as yet, these are extra’s or within packs.

Autodimming mirror is standard though, I’m not sure if it has any controls though, I think its on all the time.

Hmm , thats kind of strange or is this just in the UK , got a MY18 R-Design T8 and I got front sensors , VOC and Autodimming mirror , actually got almost everything on her , two thing I didn't include as I didn't see the use for them , autoparking and stearings gear paddle

Interesting thread.

I too have a R Design MY18. No front parking sensor or VOC. I did get the paddles on the steering wheel (but do not feel the need to use them). Be nice if I could retro fit these options but I guess they would be quite expensive

I have the wifi dongle and it works really well, it connects automatically and the traffic through wifi is orders of magnitude better than through bluetooth. Spotify is fantastic for the music quality with the WIFI, much better than with bluetooth in my opinion.
