Finally. About time. So many ‘poor’ Volvo 2022 XC40 & X60 customers will be so happy & relieved. Volvo dealers can also now stop having to show them how to get Sirius XM in their Volvos using their phone. I, for one, would not have been happy. In a way it is a blessing, is disguise, that I still haven’t got the 2022 Volvo XC60 I ordered on August 15, 2021.
Volvo, as you can see from my above post, has said, since August, ‘November or December’ for the Sirius XM support. Well, it will be Monday in 3 days — i.e., Monday. So, Volvo is on track.
What we don’t know is how these OTA updates will work — & how effective they will be.
What kind of Internet connection will you need to get the OTAs? We still don’t fully know.
OTA is the right way to go. Yes, I have much OTA experience with my Google Pixel phones & my Garmin smartwatches. OTA works well with them. With Volvo? Still an unknown. Knowing Volvo they probably will do their utmost to screw up a few times to begin with.
I can just see it. “Yes. Yes. It is OTA but your car needs to be within 2′ of a Volvo dealership with a Volvo technician seated in the car“. Oh! Volvo!
