CarPlay

[thesecretsanta]

Now that we're well into November, has anyone had any updates on when Car Play and any other software updates will be released?

Picked up our XC90 in July and it's been fantastic so far, other than the voice control which is somewhat temperamental......!

Week 48 or so ive been told,

Altho its been delayed a couple of times already so dont hold me to it

My new car is supposed to have it installed - I didn't want it but the car I'm getting already has it and the rest of the spec matches what I want.

I pick the car up this Friday. I don't have any Apple devices - is it going to be any use to me whatsoever? I guess I could make use of the 3 pin plug socket?

Shame there's no Android integration.

Just received an email from our dealer in The Netherlands informing us that they have stopped installing the Car Play into the new XC90 with immediate effect due to problems.

On the Dutch Volvo forum site rumor has it that it could take sometime to fully correct the problem.

This would not be good news for Volvo as the Dutch T8's have to be registered by the 31 December to benefit from the tax changes because people will cancel their orders.

PS. Haven't heard anything from Volvo UK if they have simular problems with the updates.

Thanks Dutchbird. The car's due it's 3 month check anyway, so may not get told until the day whether their doing Car Play as well.

Mine was supposedly updated to the latest firmware on Friday but i can't see any apple play specific applications. The only new applications are the "Find Parking" and the Internet Radio app.

I haven't actually paired a apple device .. don't know if that could be a reason nothing is being shown.

I am looking forward for the android auto part

Been told I have to leave my iPhone with the dealer on Thursday, when they do the upgrade, so I guess you need to have it set up to at least one device to activate?

I loaded our demo today and had a play once I had done it,

Half the screen turns into an iphone look,

You don't realy need to leave your phone but you do need to fetch your USB lead with you when you come to collect,

Once plugged into car you just get 2 menus to click "yeah" in and then its all go,

Mine booked in for next week for upgrades. How long does it take? Dealer says need car all day, thought I had read somewhere it took about two hours. I presume the Apple Carplay is all included in this "super" free upgrade.
