New XC 90 D5 Inscription observations in the first 2 weeks
I moved from Audi Q7 to XC90 as I was super impressed by the quality & quantity of technology available in the XC 90 in comparison to Q7. However here are a few annoying bits
1. The ambient lighting is a huge letdown in comparison to the one available on Audi's. It took me a week to figure out where is it exactly as I was able to change the colors but couldn't see the color change as I was expecting it to be present around the dash & door arm-rest but it turns out to be a led light next to the reading lamps which don't do anything. 2. I can't seem to access the radio channel library/other media on the driver display unit which was easily accessible and available on Audi Virtual Cockpit. 3. The diesel clutter and vibrations are felt on the gas pedal & the steering wheel and it's very uncomfortable over long journeys. Does anyone else feel the same? 4. There is a constant whistling sound coming from the blower unit, I am assuming it isn't normal and needs to be checked. 5. Why do I need to change the driving mode every time shouldn't it pick the last one by default? 6. No door puddle projector lamps. Has anyone tried replacing the door puddle lamps with Volvo logo projector lamps? 7. DAB reception is very intermittent, I still live in the same area and never had any issues with the Q7 but Volvo's DAB is terrible and there is an echo which isn't there when I switch to FM. 8. There is a black box and an ugly black thick wire underneath the driver seat which is protruding out. Is this normal Any thoughts, observations or suggestions are welcome. Thanks for reading.

Are you moving from the current Q7 or previous generation?
I'm currently considering a move the other way! Grass is always greener on the other side and all... Quote:

I have R-Design trim, so maybe some of my comments aren't 100% accurate.
1. I have downlights which run along the top of the dash and door trim. I've never tried messing with the colours but I assume these are what you were expecting. Not sure if there are any light in the footwells too, I don't have the car with me. Maybe you have an issue there. 3. Not something I've ever noticed. 4. Don't have this noise on mine. 5. A one second job, but I agree. 6. I'm sure I have puddle lamps, also lamps to illuminate the recess behind the handles. Maybe I'm not reading this right, but if you don't have puddle lamps, how are you going to change them for Volvo logo bulbs? If you are missing puddle lamps could there be a link between this and your missing ambient lighting? 7. Not experience any problems with mine. But then again it's my first car with DAB so nothing to compare it to!

Had this on my XC60 for almost a year as well, but it was affecting fan speed 2, 3 and 4, depending on the outside temperature (worse in cold weather). Brought it in for a fix under warranty, and apparently they changed the entire blower main unit. This did not only solve the noise problem, but also made the entire climate system in the car way more efficient...more air simply came through at the same fan speeds compared to before. To me it sounds like you have a faulty unit.
