yes but from what i understood from ZenSpeedmaster's question, he was asking if not the drive mode switch, is it possible to choose and activate drive modes?? In that case No. It is not possible.

Like I said, without the drive mode switch the only mode that can be activated is Eco, via the central display.

Such a pity the car doesn't have this switch. A Cross Country without Off Road mode? It makes not sense to me.

No , it's factory fit only .. It is no big loss to be frank .. what not put your money on a Polestar upgrade instead .... you will have all the modes at once and more https://accessories.volvocars.com/en...CC-515657/2021

Yes I saw on their website and it says that my car is approved for polestar optimisation. But without dynamic / polestar mode being available will I actually see any improvement in the car in the standard / comfort mode I'm stuck with? The dealership were unsure. It even says on that link that DMS (drive mode system) should be selected to enhance the experience of polestar optimisation. If I thought it would improve the sluggish gearbox, widen the power band and send more power to the rear wheels I would seriously consider it. But I need to be sure it actually improves the car without being able to switch into the dynamic drive mode before I take the plung as the upgrade is €740 + 21% VAT + labour

I can't say I noticed a massive difference in the gearbox behaviour, mind you coming from a car with paddle shifters I'd already mentally made that switch to "just let the car deal with it unless you really need to override it". Ironically if you look at the numbers for the T5 you'd be forgiven for thinking that it narrows the maximum torque band, but I suspect (in the absence of a power/torque graph) that the original maximum torque is still there but they've got a bit more out in the centre.

Now I'm sorry I forgot to update this thread with the little info I got from Volvo but they told me that retrofitting the drive mode switch in the volvo dealership is a no go. They also don't offer the 14 day trial of polestar in Ireland.
My experience of Volvo Ireland has been extremely negative. They have absolutely no interest in helping out. Their communication is terrible - both Volvo the company and my nearest dealership. I haven't gone anywhere near them since my warranty expired. After they quoted me €400 for an oil change and air and cabin filters I deleted their phone number! I have been toying with vdash and I see that 'drive modes' is listed as an available parameter in the experimental side of the car configuration tab. I have had my CEM unlocked so I will explore this route.

Did you ever get this figured out? I'm in the US and my SPA XC60 does not have a drive-mode switch nor can I go into Sensus and change the drive mode. I only have eco and it defaults to comfort, like yours.
I have asked several dealerships if it's possible to do - I don't know why they couldn't do it. It's just software, the drive modes should be accessible without the physical switch too. And if I get the Polestar tune, I doubt I will get the drive-modes. I just bought a VDASH dongle so I can look around in the configurations for drive-mode enabling. I'm not holding my breath but I feel like it might be in VDASH. Were you able to find the configuration in VDASH? |
