My issue isn't with the updates it's the update process. BMW/AUDI/Land Rover have a data plan and the car will auto update as new maps are released, no need to do anything. With Volvo you'll need a USB and several hours faffing about downloading then uploading to the car or a PSIM is monumental amounts of data paid for by the consumer. Doesn't feel very premium to me. |

A data plan? Free, or €€€?
Several hours of faffing, that's not what it takes me to update the map.

What I don't understand is why each update is so big. Surely here must be a way to do incremental updates of the changes only. At nearly 3GB for the NW region alone, that must be a complete download every time surely?

I have 20gb included in my plan every month with unlimited calls and texts. Which costs me £20 a month. The download took about 0.3gb.

Like anything in this world not totally free would be built into the purchase price.
However, good friend has an Audi S4 and has the virtual cockpit which is fantastic and streets ahead. Audi provide a data plan to support that and map updates. I suspect after 3/4 years there will be an additional subscription cost but up until that point you can use as much data as you like! Also Android auto is standard kit (no rip off £300 from Volvo) Other friend has a BMW M140i with the same set up on data, not only that he gets a free subscription to Deezer so no need to pay for Spotify and again Andriod Auto/apple car play is standard. Just feels if Volvo want to be premium they need to be offering these features as standard. |

Remember it's not compulsory to update your system. If you don't want to spend the time or your data allowance ignore it. Personally I don't mind and the car updates itself once Volvo make the OTA update available, usually a few days after they release it on the support site, via the '3' sim in the car.
