Re: Volvo dealership advises Volvo UK will soon offer better DashCam offerings

That's a random comment, any evidence dashcams stop the airbags working? It's pretty obvious that if you route the cable incorrectly it will inhibit the deployment, and that you're unlikely to find out until the airbags actually deploy. https://www.justcarkits.co.uk/blog/2018/11/21/good-dash-cam-in...

Re: Software update

On a perhaps facetious note, I wonder if the new update will change the ridiculous process of changing from speed limiter to cruise control and vice versa on my C40 Plus (MY24). Seven button presses !!! 1. Cancel speed limiter on steering wheel 2. Press menu button on centre screen 3. Press driving...
