Update, regarding the non connectivity to my iPhone to my V90.
It would appear the system sh@t itself. As it wouldn’t connect to phone and lost all contacts/favourites.
I was dreading my 2.5hr drive to Solihul this morning.
Well after turning my phone on and off a few times yesterday. Hey presto everything connects as it should.

I even got the at bat to provide alternative routes and traffic update. Fingers crossed it lasts. I’ll hold from calling the dealer for now.

Another question.
Is there anyway for the Sensus to use the profile pics for contacts from the phone rather than display the blank silhouette?

I don't think this works with iPhones; it's an Apple restriction.

Works great with Android though

Sensus on my car does display the contact's profile picture, (iPhone 7).

Strange, there's various reports of it not working on iPhones and it doesn't work with my mate's iPhone and his XC90. The assertion was that Apple hadn't implemented the relevant Bluetooth profile. Perhaps it depends on the particular iPhone model.

Carwow XC60 4 month review https://youtu.be/BlHsf3e858Q

Interesting that he claims Bluetooth coonectivity is the easiest he’s come across.
I suppose it is when it works.

Bluetooth on my XC90 (same system as XC60) is also the best of any car I've had. Works 100% of the time with my Android Nexus phone.

Bluetooth is quite a complex system and depends upon both the car and phone having compatible and well implemented profiles (these are the routines which perform particular tasks). The problem may be with your phone, not the car.

I pretty much agree with the likes and dislikes especially the sunroof switch and the traffic info which I've found to be increasingly unreliable since I first got the car. I just ignore it now.

After first year service and appears my iPhone contact profile photos now sync with Sensus. Bonus.

Yes same for me - I think there was a system update a couple of weeks ago which I did via the iPhone and I now have profile photos.
