Quick Remote Start tip for iPhone 6S and higher users: Firm press the VOC icon to access remote start directly. It immediately loads the app and starts the remote start procedure, a quick fingerprint touch to authenticate and you're away.
Screenshot attached. :wq

So must tried this before driving off in the car. I think its going to need a bit more working out. After the remote start and then switching on the ignition, heads up display was not in the correct place, auto seats and steering wheel heating were switched off and climate setting weren't as they were last left.
I thought the head up display position had been saved in the profile, but I could be wrong. As for auto seat and steering wheel heating, these have been switched on for the past few weeks and never deviated. So not sure which saved setting the remote start is picking up. I'm assuming it can't really be profile related, as at the point of remote start, the car doesn't know which profile will be used next. Having said that, I only have one profile setup and associated with both keys. Might have to resort to the manual! :wq

I haven't worked out if this is linked to the VOC start yet, or a by product of the profile lock change. Either was, it needs more testing. For the time being, I've turned off the profile lock as I think that's the issue. One other weird side effect is the temperature in the car keeps on changing to 27 on the driver side and 22 on the passenger side, when the engine is restarted!?! This stopped after I removed the profile lock.

Engine remote start (ERS) means that you can start the vehicle's engine remotely to heat up or cool down the passenger compartment. During ERS, functions such as seat heating, heated door mirrors and rear window are also activated (if selected in the center display). Quite what 'if selected in the centre display' means I don't know! Also, to quote from the bottom of this article: Engine remote start (ERS) is available on the following markets: Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Canada, China, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden and the USA. I still predict the function will disappear again here in the UK. I also wonder if the above is related to the fact its not quite working as expected with reference to settings, maybe is been incorrectly enabled for UK via VOC, but our cars aren't properly configured for the function. :wq

Ah, maybe I shouldn't be so sceptical. I've just received an email from Volvo UK,

To access this new functionality, and an explanation of how you can use it, simply download the latest version of the Volvo On Call app today. If you would like to learn more about all the features of Volvo On Call, you can access our new digital brochure and explore all the benefits in detail from our website So, looks like it is an official feature! Yippee! :wq

This is very very handy for summer. For winter it's pointless for aux heater crowd but gives the functionality to those who saved on heater. |

In fact, have just checked in App Store an latest version for IOS was 12th September. Might not be completely pointless for aux heater crowd (efficiency argument aside), as with the engine running you can in theory have heated screen, mirrors, seats and steering wheel too. :wq

In summer - yes. After a round of golf to get into a cool car - nice.
