Just read in my car mag that Volvo has launched an app that allows owners to check items such as fuel and fluid levels on their smart phones when they're away from the car. Can't wait to get this, can you?? Doooogh...

Yes, I saw the Android app when browsing the Android Market.
It will only apply to 2012 m/y cars onwards so not much use yet.

Snipped from Android Market:-

Starting from model year 2012, Volvo now brings you the abillity to access your vehicle from your Android device. This requires that your vehicle is equipped with a Volvo onCall Telematics unit. If your vehicle conforms with these requirements you will, depending on your model be able to:

- See vehicle dashboard values, such as fuel level, trip meters, and more, in the App.
- Control your fuel fired parking heater, if the vehicle is equipped with a fuel fired parking heater.
- Locate your vehicle on a map or using the vehicle signal horn and turn indicators.
- See the current status of doors, windows and locks for your vehicle.
- Lock and unlock the vehicle.
- Request road side assistance from the App.
- Have an electronic driving journal, that will create trip reports for every trip made with the vehicle.

Even though you do not currently own a Volvo conforming to the requirements above you can still install the App and use it in demonstration mode, in-order to see some of the functionality offered by the Volvo onCall Telematics system.
