Internet connections

[Sherwood]

On mine, Spotify (which I don't have installed) and other apps are available via "Download Centre" and then "New Apps".

Any installation is likely to depend on having one of the forms of connectivity active. (Car Internet, WiFi, Phone via Bluetooth, etc.). I have car internet enabled (though I installed Weather and Search via WiFi).

Sorry Eugene, not very constructive .. I've tried various searches under differing criteria and not found the information I was hoping for .. it looks like there are a couple of others in the same boat too.

Apologies Steve. I suggested a search on the forum because your problem can be caused by various reasons and those have already been discussed.

From your description it seams you managed to establish a connection (globe icon on screen) but there’s no data through other apps. If the only app option you see is uninstall, then I would suggest uninstalling the apps and reinstalling them again. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

Thanks Eugene ... unfortunately it would appear that I could uninstall ok as the option is on screen (afraid to hit the button in case they're gone for ever) but have no idea how to (re)install .. I'm not having much luck with this
Should I be able to do this through some sort of menu purely via the car internet or are these apps only available via a cable connected phone or are they altenative routes ?

Uninstalling apps will not make them disappear for good. Go to Download Centre where you’ll find every available app for download, also the ones you have already uninstalled. Currently, there are a total of 8 apps available for Sensus.

Thanks again .... I'll give things a try tomorrow .. I'm becoming a bit self-concious - the neighbours think I'm living in the car

Picked my car up yesterday and dealer was not aware of a Sim Card, nor did he provide one!!!

Dealer is talking utter rubbish. Go back and ask to speak to someone who knows what they are talking about!

Ive emailed Volvo UK and awaiting their response
