Is it just me or are Volvo user manuals difficult to find anything in! When I select reverse I get the rear view and guide lines. I can't for the life of me find out how to activate the 360 view! Any help gratefully received.
Thanks

On ours (MY22) it always starts in 360 mode. Daughters MY24 is always reverse camera view. We have not found a way to permanently with it to 360 view. You can press the 360 button when the camera first starts. We have also found that putting it in reverse and then quickly into Drive fools it into using the 360 setting.

360 camera is the default on mine unless I've previously selected the rear camera in which case it becomes a "sticky" default.

Quiteman, you should see the below:

Jfdit, thanks for going to the trouble of sending the photo. I haven't seen the 360 button, I'll give it another go tomorrow.

Tried touching the screen in multiple places but no No.2 360 symbol showing!

Silly question, but does your car have 360° camera?

I'm starting to think you're right. It's the B3 Dark Plus. The car they gave me to test drive had the 360 so I, possibly wrongly, assumed my car would have it. I'll call in to the dealership this weekend and have a chat. Thanks very much for your help, I'll let you know how I get on.

That was going to be my question as to do you have it? I seem to remember someone recently saying that on the latest model year it has been dropped and replaced with BLIS on the Plus.

That's a real shame as after having just the rear camera on my first XC40 I find it really useful being able to switch between 360 and rear view and sometimes front view as well.

I'd much rather have the 360 rather than BLIS.

On first start with mine, 24 MY, it defaults to 360 but if I then select rear view it stays on that for sometime.

Each to their own, but I think BLIS and RTA preferential option to that of a 360 camera.

Found out today that I do have both front and rear cameras.
