My 2016 T6 Inscription has started losing it’s position on the sat nav, randomly jumping to a nearby street or suburb and trying to align its travel with streets that it is not on. Switching the car off and on doesn’t fix it, I have tried locking and walking away, but that doesn’t help either. Eventually it will come good.

Has anyone else had this issue, thoughts on cause? I had the maps update by the dealer last week and it happened again yesterday.

Are the date and time accurate and set to automatic?

I had the same issue twice. The first time it fixed itself after several on and off’s. The second time I took it in and the dealer just updated the maps, at a charge of course. They said the maps have to be updated or you run Into this issue. Sounds fishy and I have done my own updates via a usb from volvo we’d site for map updates. Try that first and if no luck, head for the dealer who may charge you.

Thanks. The dealer updated the maps a few weeks back and it is still happening. That’s why I posted here…

Looks like a bad lock on the gps satellites. Could be related to a bad antenna.

Did you ever get this fixed? My 2016 just started doing the same and didn't fix itself after a USB maps update. I have an appointment with the dealer next week for a full system update at $230.00....

 

[kevviek]

No, they did a software update and it has kept happening, every few weeks

Maybe your VCM module needs new battery, but better to visit dealer to read diagnostic codes

Maybe your VCM module needs new battery

This is an interesting statement...
Does the VCM use a battery like the Cell Battery on laptops to keep the time & date for the BIOS? Do you have a picture of it?

 

[KentXRS]

Do you have a picture of it?

Yes, see below

 

[XC90_K100]

Dear

Nice

 

[KentXRS]

Looks that it on back side of VCM module. (found it in web)

[edit]
After short research... it seems for newer Volvos than mine...

Yes, looks that battery was changed after 2016.

No, I mean my VCM doesn't go with a battery at all... Volvo must have changed the architecture...

Hi Row57, Thank you, but the one you posted is the new design.
See description on the bottom "exchange for":

Since I was deeply disappointed by Volvo, I did look for an aftermarket alternative and this solution does fit to my expectations
Just installed it on my 2016 XC90 and it works perfectly

It calls ISUDAR Wireless Apple Carplay... you can find it here: Auto-Radio Xyingly
