Smile So close

Well it's only showing three weeks to go on my Volvo as mine is a company car I was not able to get any extras. I'm starting to check my Volvo more often as it's so close.

Sorry for the kid in a candy shop my first ever new car and I can't wait, can it start with some stupid questions?

1, how long before the car is to arrive does it move to production?
2, can the Volvo dab radio have music streamed through it?
3, can anyone in west Lothian or Glasgow recommend a window tinting company as I need to get that done ASAP?

Also I'm buzzing big time can't wait sorry for the repetition post but I'm losing my new car virginity and it's all good!

Thomo.

The Volvo site takes forever to update sometimes. You may find you take delivery before it changes!

Yes, assuming you mean via bluetooth from a mobile phone. Accessed via the media button.

MyVolvo site moved into production for me 2 weeks before scheduled hand over date from dealer, takes around 10 days to arrive at the dealers, depends I think on how many the dealer is expecting with a "full transporter load".

It should also change to "transport to dealer" whilst in transit, I got the feeling it took a day or so to update but others report varying disappointments.

Thanks guys I have been checking religiously and My Volvo has been better than my Dealer. It has always been on the money and she has been weeks behind. Till I explained and she actually checked and confirmed the same date.

I have used the music through the blue tooth in the Skoda I have at the moment seems really good that's why I asked about the music streaming.

Thanks Thomo

Whilst I've only just ordered mine, i got a quote of £200 from these people - I want to go darker than factory.

Mine seemed to miss production and went straight to transportation to dealer, must have been made quicker to produce than it takes to update the system, lol!

Someone here said the production only lasts 1 day, so easy to miss!

Yeah that's what I heard must have stopped production while mine was being built lol. I've spoken to a few people and I'm going limo tint.

The pressure is on as I'm away for a week so if it's not ready in 2 weeks I'll have to wait 4 weeks booooo.

It's been a long wait has this improved since May time?

Gbwarrior this is a big stepping stone to getting the car.
