I'll be tethering from my phone, but I do find it amazing that Volvo don't even include RTTI data as standard ... Coming from a BMW with RTTI, having to tether my phone each time I want to use the sat nav with traffic is a bit of a pain...

I thought the 2017MY had 4g modems? I am sure the s90 v90 are listed with 4G modems...

I have just looked at the latest price and spec sheets for the V90 and I cannot find 3G or 4G mentioned.
Under VOC, it just mentions an extra slot for a data sim.
The 68 page brochure has no mention either.

You're correct. That's a bummer.
