My car is now sitting dead at the dealer waiting for a replacement TCAM. Going through the forum, noticing a lot of LTE and TCAM related issues. Bored and missing my car, so I thought I'd kick out a poll to see how widespread the issue is...

Mine is heading to the dealer tomorrow. I lost GPS signal although I still have internet and the SOS button needs service.

After the software update (1.8) my LTE is present. Sometimes I will lost the signal for 2-3 minutes and it will come back.
There is something I noticed yesterday - during the heavy rain I will lost LTE and GPS. They came back shortly after the rain intensity decrease. Talking about heavy torrential rain. We had that yesterday. Came back home and took my plumbing camera and checked for any leaks top of the ceiling liner under the TCAM. All dry. My antenna cover gasket is fine. I know heavy rain will damp the signal.
Anyone loosing LTE or GPS in heavy rain?

Voted for "MINOR" issues here -- but a quick data point:

1- we had our AC charger die (search my thread on such) and while it was being replaced we had the TCAM "leak" TSB performed

2- during that visit, we also ended up getting 1.8.1 installed at the dealer

3- since then, we've had 99.9% stability in our TCAM (LTE/GPS) performance

Not sure if these are related or just dumb luck. But we just completed an 1800+ mile journey over 6 days from Ohio to Georgia and the up-time on the TCAM was again 99.9% working --- the app was still flaky at times but that seemed more connected to the Volvo server issues than the car itself. In-car driving the TCAM/GPS/LTE were great!

PS: Prior to the v1.8.1 upgrade (and TCAM TSB + AC charger replacement) -- we had the typical LTE drop issues that plague most people. I'd have voted the "significant" section -- so not sure what "fixed" our issue (SW, TSB, etc) but knock on wood we've been going strong for ~1.5 weeks!

Well there is hope then! We’re booked in for the 18th of Jan for shark fin antenna leak, intermittent LTE issues, driver’s seat heater inoperative and software update (we’re still on pre-V1.7). Fingers crossed everything gets fixed!

Ours knocked out a few days ago. We had about 8 inches of snow on the roof, so a leaking seal is a reasonable explanation. None of the "reset" options in other threads have worked. LTE/GPS still not working. Stuck with the 6amp charge limit grayed out.

My car stayed in an airport underground parking for a week. I had hopes that, since it worked for others, TCAM unit would miraculously come back to life. Picked up the car, drove 70km. Nope. Nada.

 

[Alan Davis]

I have had 2 occasions where the LTE/GPS were unavailable for about 3 days. Each time, just as I was about to take some action, it fixed itself sometime overnight. The first time was with 1.6, more recently with 1.8. I haven't been offered 18.1.

Bumping this out of curiosity... These poll numbers look pretty bad for Volvo.
Oops, didn't realize poll was closed.

I've had my '21 P8 since July and had absolutely no isues with TCAM/LTE until the1.10 OTA update. Now hoping 2.0 will solve it.

Absolutely the same as you.

 

[He Keith]

My 21 had frequent LTE issues. Our 22 XC40 and C40 have had it intermittently. Almost always after being locked for some time and something will come back online after a few minutes otherwise rebooting has helped.

 

[Speed_Bump]

mine has build of 4/21 and has had no issues in about 9000 miles

 

[improvius]

12/21 build ("2022 Late"), no issues at 3000 miles. Currently on 1.10.

I thought I'd read that there was a fix planned in 2.1 (late Apr) rather than in 2.0.

 

[Vatorney3]

Problem is this (as I understand it): How can I get 2.0/2.1 OTA to fix it unless I have an internet connection? Trip to the dealer, I assume?

Yes, or it may start working again on its own after 1-7 days.

Be nice if the 1-7 days was just a joke and yet sadly it is a reality

Come on volvo get a real tcam fix.

On day 4 now, so maybe it will start working soon. Starting to feel the frustration of others. Up until v.1.10, my P8 has been near perfect. Love the hardware, not so much the software. But I bought the car for the hardware, so I can't complain much. Still a thrill to drive.

Oh good I hit install in a moment of haliyboptimism this morning … and Margo has been perfect.
