Volvo just showed Android P on the Sensus system on an XC40. https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/9/17...google-io-2018

This is what I want. They say it will not be available until 2020. XC40 looks just like what is selling now in hardware.

Love the Google Maps instead of current navigation. Would prefer WAZE.

So the real question is will Volvo provide a software update for current 2019 models? Will it be free?

I need a new car by Oct 2019. Am seriously thinking of the XC40. Getting Android P would be a major decider.

Glad to see that someone is finally integrating Google services directly into the infotainment system. Not sure why this took so long to happen in the first place. I don't know if this new system could simply be implemented with an update as its looks to be built from the ground up. It was previewed in a current XC40 though, so who knows.

When I inserted the USB in one of the two available slots, the car is re-ordering and sorting the songs alpabetically and I...

  3. Screechy radio?

    Electronics, Audio, and Lighting
    I have never had such a lousy radio in a car. Even my '60s cars I get better reception on FM than in this car. I lose signal entering garages where I used to have reception with my former car, an Evoque. In canyons, in particular, I get lots of high-pitched, intermittent screeching.

  5. subwoofer control gone

    Electronics, Audio, and Lighting
    I have a type R with the upgrade audio system. Just go 20000 mile with system up date for a 2019. Now in the audio controls the subwoofer slide control and bass and treble are gone,.its like the stock system with no subs ???? any one have this happen //

  6. Entertainment Source Reset

    Electronics, Audio, and Lighting
    Hi there, Last month I had my 20k service performed along with a software update, and ever since then I have noticed that when I get in my car the audio source has changed to FM. I never use FM; always CarPlay or Sirius. I thought maybe the key profile got messed up, but it should remember the...
