Re: Center screen with vertical lines

Re: Infotainment display home screen since update

I think the terminology used in the owners manual is being misinterpreted. My XC40 has of late during normal use always restarted with the display showing the last app used on the screen with versions 3.x.x from memory. So I have always made a conscious effort to try to return it to the "home s...

Car was in for about 45mins. No waiting around to be inspected. No charge or diagnostic fee.
Sounds like a reassuring outcome :)

Re: New XC40 sudden power loss - safety issue

Any chance you have a dash cam and footage of the incident to share with your dealership and Volvo UK?
