Yes I believe it does as well as heated front seats and heated washer jets. You can see very thin wavy lines in the glass if it's heated and also if you press the demist button once it should display "electric" in the satnav display. Pressing it a 2nd time also displays "max"

Stock speakers sound good to me. I dropped all my music on a USB stick and leave it in the centre console. I've looked at aftermarket for Android Auto to use Google maps but the solutions I've found looked flaky and expensive

Download the user manual free from the Volvo website

Thanks for the response!

Happy with those answers, will have a read of the manual.

Is the 4 cyl engine 'unreliable' or just not as reliable as the 5 cyl? I'm going to be saving £280 a month on car finance so I have no issues spending the money to ensure the car is well serviced and maintained in that sense.

Is the polestar optimising worth it? How much is that generally?
