Haha!! Do you use the self parking thing at all or was it just a novelty? Does it work?

I'm kicking myself I missed this to be honest...!! Still loving the car though.

Me too, but hoping Volvotech will have a kit to retro fit a camera or sensors soon. They say they have a agreement with Volvo not to sell kits for any models under 2 years old.

Have to admit I've not really used it. it's so easy to park with the 360 cameras that it's not really necessary. I might start using it for the next few weeks and report back :-)

Just ordered the flaps and some running boards from ebay. hoping they're easy to fit!

Decided to try using the pilot parking this weekend - managed zero successful attempts! I just couldn't find an opportunity to use it.

I remember when we were test driving, we managed to test without issue, but it meant that i was hunting around for a tight spot between two cars. This weekend, I was torn between testing the auto park in a tight space, or parking in a lovely parent and child space with loads of space either side!

I chose the lovely parent and child space.

Hopefully with a child on board

Can't have been at Tesco then - there are a woefully inadequate number given the size of the store!

I've had my XC90 for just over a week now. Tried the 'self parking' for the first time today, for perpendicular parking (reversing into a parking bay, with cars on both sides).

The car managed to find the spot easily, and parked itself so effortlessly. I was amazed. Kids were shocked to see the steering wheel rotate on its own.

I'll definitely use it again. Parallel parking next time :-)
