You will want one, everyone who’s been in mine loves it. Given I have had jaguars and Land Rovers the Volvo is so much superior.
Mine done too, need to test to see if they have been able to add the in dash info and steering wheel controls but they aren’t a biggie for me just a nice to have.
Do phone controls work in Volvo since the firmware update?
For those with Volvos, did the update improve functionality? I’m wondering if it is worth the hassle to update the firmware since everything is working well before.
Thanks!

They didn’t work before the update and still don’t (or at least didn’t yesterday) it’s worth the upgrade though as it connects quicker, sound quality is better and its more responsive on screen.
I use Siri for most things so not too worried about the controls.
I’ll update this morning. I did the “do not update “ yesterday for 12.12 and it did nothing to fix the Jeep. So not really holding out hope for anything. What do I have to lose anyway? It’s already a $160 brick.

Update: 12:13 update did nothing for Jeep. As expected. Nothing to see here. Move along. I’ve even given up emailing them at this point.

If it helps...which it wont...I ordered another one from them and it still hasn't been shipped yet...days ago...
I have been told.....but it works for me
This one is for my wifes Ibiza which doesn't work yet, but it will.....OK everyone, I figured out the jeep problem. So to those with jeeps on this forum I’m going to post a video and the steps to show had a make it work every single time. Then I’m going to let the seller know exactly what’s going on. There is still one problem, when CarPlay in her face does come up on the screen you cannot touch the screen with one finger you have to have one finger on the screen and then tap with another finger to make it work
Has anyone actually driven around to validate whether the GPS is working properly? The wireless CarPlay specs require a speed sensor and GPS hardwired. Obviously, the CarPlay2Air works a bit differently so as long as the phone is kept somewhere where it can pick up the GPS signal, I assume it will be fine.
The speed sensor and GPS are part of the vehicle...not the dongle...and yes it works fine.

Still no changes with Ford on today's version. Not really into a janky device that has to be constantly messed with to work, I wish I could just have the version back before this "new system" as it worked fine. Probably going to return mine if they don't have it fixed by next week.
Still blank screen on mine.
Can connect to the WiFi, disclosed the new update “don’t update” unplugged dongle, and same, nothing.
