Kind of, but I'm not assuming that Volvo will revoke it after the 27th. Being that this poll only lasts until just after the 27th, I thought it would be interesting to see how many vehicles fall into each scenario based on their deadline.Seems like you're treating Sept 27 as a "deadline".
Got it, thanks.Being that this poll only lasts until just after the 27th
The updates will be sent directly to your car and will complete over two phases: a download phase while the car is being driven, and an installation phase when the car isn't being driven. Please note the car cannot be charging while it is being updated and the new software is being installed, which can take up to 90 minutes.I think I bricked my car. I got the message to apply the update on the infotainment screen. I parked in my garage, plugged the charger in, and then locked the doors to start the process. Shortly after I got a notification from the Volvo Cars app that the update started. 10 minutes later and I got another notification that the update failed. I waited a couple hours because I wasn’t sure if it would automatically retry or not.
After a few hours I checked in my car. The car did not respond to my key fob and I could not unlock the doors electronically. I had to use the backup key to manually unlock the driver door— the cylinder is hidden behind the pull handle.
After getting in the car, the infotainment screen woke up and said that I would need to service the car before updating. It suggested using Volvo On Call to do so. Since it’s midnight here, I decided to leave it alone. Got back out of the csr and I’m unable to lock the car again. No response to the key fob.
oh boy what a mess

Quick suggestion, unplug the charger, lock the door, and see if the update restarts.I think I bricked my car. I got the message to apply the update on the infotainment screen.

Thank you for clarifying @afung and @John M.
I'm guessing that @John M already has the update. I can't distinguish any operational differences between the July & August updates. They are likely the same for North America since I have the June 2nd kernel as well. Therefore, maybe the better voting choice would be a dealer visit is what got you to that version.
If I remember correctly, I think @afung was a part of the earlier 'June' OTA update. I would have thought that the July/Aug update would have been offered as well. I'm puzzled.![]()
You gave us non-OTA folks 24 hours to vote. I didn’t receive the email or the update, and I wasn’t on the forum yesterday.This poll is ending tomorrow. Not as many voted as I had hoped. But, thank you for those that did.
The poll has been active for 9 days. Not the OP's issue.You gave us non-OTA folks 24 hours to vote. I didn’t receive the email or the update, and I wasn’t on the forum yesterday.
