FYI - Google-powered infotainment system flaws

VOLVOL0VER · Aug 8th, 2021, 02:00

To the ones who ordered a MY22 Volvo, here's a video of a guy named Kristian, a devoted Volvo fan, that helped me making my mind when I was indecisive about getting a Volvo or a BMW. I chatted many times with him by Instagram on his personal account. Nice guy. Knows a few things about Volvos. Actually a lot. 😄👍

After seeing his video on YT , I hope Volvo will make some software updates and change some things, over the course of years to come. Because right now I wouldn't change my MY19 for a MY22.

Take a look. Here's why.

Wow, really pleased I got my Volvo before that was the dash. I really dislike Rev counters that go the opposite way to Speedo.

Wow indeed. What a massively retrograde bunch of changes. Well done Volvo bean counters. Google now has its tendrils well and truly embedded in another part of your life, with zero net benefit.

I've said before that my current XC60 will be my last Volvo (over 20 years with the marque now), and this only reaffirms that decision.

Happy to get my v90 before google have arrived 😂

Do these models run on Android Automotive 10?

Was reading this article:

https://source.android.com/devices/a.../start/release

about version 11 and wondered if it’d made its way onto anything yet?

Also this chap is not impressed with the Google infotainment in his my22 V90 inscription. He has a series of short videos on his YouTube channel.

I meant exchange. I know you guys understood but it was cellphone keyboard's fault. Just a detail but i don't like to write wrong, even if it wasn't my fault. Cheers 🤜🤛

Oh.

This doesn't look good at all. I somehow feel that my next car won't be a Volvo.

It does seem to have some issues. We are a couple of years out from replacing ours but would prefer to stay with the Volvo brand. Hopefully the issues will be sorted by then.
