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.

  1. Auto Lights on with wipers.

    Electronics, Audio, and Lighting

    Electronics, Audio, and Lighting
    I have a 2020 XC40, the manual lists English UK as an option for the voice control. However there is no option for this when I triy to switch from US English on the control panel display. Is there a way to change that annoying US accented voice control?

  3. LED Logo Welcome Light Installation

    Electronics, Audio, and Lighting
    Has anyone successfully changed the welcome lights under the front doors with logo LED projector lights? I was able to do this in my XC60 pretty easily, but the lights in the XC40 don’t seem to have enough cable to pull them all the way out of the door. Just wondering if I’m missing something or...

  5. Rear LED Turn Signals

    Electronics, Audio, and Lighting
    My old car is/was full LED except the rear turn signals. Exterior only, all interior lights were bulbs. I didn't care about the interior so much, but why does the XC 40 have full exterior LED's except the rear turn-signals? And, I don't really need the know why, but the how to switch to LED's, -...

  6. Playing Music

    Electronics, Audio, and Lighting
    I have a USB (flas drive) with all my music in it and all the music is in different folders according to Genre eg. a folder with rock, another with pop music, and so on. When I inserted the USB in one of the two available slots, the car is re-ordering and sorting the songs alpabetically and I...
