I had to wait 6 months for current V60 and it now looks like being the same, or longer, for this car.

tem.
don't bother about what Volvo site says, its never accurate.

Dealer has a better idea. and more accurate

maybe mid October for you

Thank you.

Yes, that's what I've used but in matt. Went on perfectly first time.

My top tip is to align it along the bottom edge of the screen as it's 2mm shorter than the screen itself so if you align it along the top, as I did, you see the gap at the bottom. If the gap is at the top it'd be much less visible.

The gap is deliberate so that you can find an edge to remove it later on.

My Volvo always seems to lag reality.

To give you an idea of timescales (from factory system): my new car was due to enter build 16 Sep and scheduled to leave the factory on 19 Sep. Arrival at UK port 26 Sep (today, woo-hoo) and delivery to dealer 29 Sep.

Yes I was wondering if the off road setting would allow me to get it up the stairs.

It does help but I have a tight turn at the top of the stairs and would've struggled without the 360 camera.

Typical, some folk do things the hard way.
You are supposed to remove the Sensus unit and take it into the bathroom.

You can always rely on the Scottish to add some common sense.

I was wondering if the park assist would be able to park it automatically between the toilet and sink.
