The map maintenance process now is very different from the download the whole set of maps, it is possible to do it country or region at a time, collect the data via a 4G sim either directly in the car or use the wifi hotspot on the smartphone to retrieve the information via 4G or 3G service while one is driving. The navigation system is not disabled while the data is being received but is applied when the engine is stopped. So an almost transparent to the user type process.
My thoughts are that if one was going to a foreign land you would not download the map updates until you were in the foreign land or when driving to the ferry port as long as it was about an hours drive away. However this may all fall apart if the foreign mobile phone networks charge UK users as if they are from a different part of the world.

Holdcroft Volvo - Stoke-on-Trent
Took my MY19 XC60 T5 for it's first service on Friday 27th Sept. The service from Holdcroft in Stoke was absolutely sublime from start to finish. Great comms on progress. Car was absolutely spotless inside and out when I picked it up with a complimentary bottle of water and mints in the centre console with an apology for moving the drivers seat position. Courtesy car was also spotless. John and Sonia did the brand proud!

Squire Faunux Leatherhead - my car will never go near that place again. Expensive and utterly terrible service. My experience with Volvo Swansea however was excellent, absolutely could not fault them.

Following from my original story. Having waited for collection availability for customary two weeks mine came from the visit to resolve software update failure. To remind, that was attributed to computer problems when I confronted them but never mentioned to me in service report (got a nice software update booklet in fact). It has magically been updated with no computer issues. Two services in a row - fail to update software but it works when I insist afterwards. The easiest explanation is usually correct - my dealer systematically fails to update software during service relying on costumer not noticing and then makes up lame excuses when confronted.

I did raise with volvo uk. Once is an error but twice is a pattern. They didn’t seem that concerned, asked my permission to pass my complaint to the dealer. But, honestly, I don’t want to waste time on this. I will gain nothing but stress from this. I did want to warn others to watch out but it seems like an isolated thing as most people seem very happy with theirs.

"The full software update is a mandatory part of the service "
... is there any (easy) way to tell if this actually gets done? |
