V60 Business Edition D4 Modem question

spottedhaggis · Feb 17th, 2020, 23:13

I just picked up a 15 plate D4 Business edition V60. Lovely drive. I have a spare data sim, but I cant for the life of me find the modem, is there a modem, and if not can I fit one to the car?

There's nowhere to fit a data SIM on mine. The car will connect to wi-fi but it then doesn't do anything useful... the built-in browser is horrible to use!

I did use my phone as a hotspot and use the Tune In Radio app which wasn't too bad.

Although just as easy to operate it from my phone directly.

There's a radio app??? Every day's a school day!

I find the infotainment system horrible to use via the rotary input method... why on earth wasn't it touchscreen with a virtual QWERTY keypad? After using our Sportage it's one of the things I really dislike coming back to.

ah, yes I took a better look around today, no modem, thats a shame, I have a data sim I would ahve liked to use in the car. Wifi works fine using my phone, and glimpse is a nice feature for the wife to not worry so much. Dab radio is a first for me, and its nice to have such a wide selection of channels at last.
HDD is a bonus, thugh it is tiny at 10GB.

Anyone know if its possible to add a reversing camera to this model, ie is the wiring in place already.

You can use the Volvo VOC app to Input your nav destinations. Far more comfortable. With Internet in the car you can use realtime traffic after an additional Software Installation. It is worth it!
