XC70: Information - Remote control for Sensus

apersson850 · Mar 5th, 2012, 20:34

Just in case anyone wonders, I can tell you that the remote control, that's normally delivered in conjunction with the Rear seat entertainment system, also works fine in a Sensus-equipped car, even if it has no rear seat screens.

You can use it only in the Front setting, of course, not Left nor Right, but that's logical. Enables a rear seat passenger to mess with the playlists on USB devices and such easily.

No coding is necessary. I got my control from an S60 that was a wreck. It worked immediately.

My SE Lux V70 with Sensus came with the remote and I can't say that I ever use it.
Still can't believe that when you press the radio button it doesn't necessarily come up with the band you are listening to.

Does it not? When I press RADIO, it positions me on FM1, which is the one I'm listening to.

No when I am listening to DAB1 and press RADIO it goes to FM2 usually! I then have to press RADIO again to get it to DAB1. Seems to work differently if I have only just gone onto radio.

I see. DAB isn't popular around here, so I didn't buy that option. Having only the standard radio unit, I don't see your problem.

I have the same issue listen to DAB 1 get out of car, return a while later starts on FM2. Annoying.

I sometimes have the same issue, but not always.....if I've been listening too DAB and switch to USB when I go back to the Radio its on FM2.

Can't understand why it's FM2 and not FM1....!!!!!
