When using my iPod Nano to play music through the USB port, I find that that Sensus fails to recognize a USB device every other time I start the car. In between, I need to physically remove the Nano from the USB port and then reinsert it. After making this hardware switch, do you have any issues with Sensus recognizing your USB devices?

Does anybody know what this software "Application, for vehicles without double USB port in the center armrest Part. No. 32204602" do?
(it's in the Volvo instruction for the 2 usb upgrade)

Is it required when when upgrading from 1 to 2 usb ?
According to this thread the 2 usb module seems to work fine without it.
May be it is only required when upgrading a car without usb?

Two threads going on this topic. VCNA and my dealer have both confirmed the accessory mentioned above is for model year 2016 to support two USB and have Android Auto installed. No word on pricing yet as dealer is waiting for word from Volvo Corp. VCNA did send me a 30% discount up to $200 to apply towards this accessory. Waiting to see actual price prior to pushing them more as I have Carplay already and was also told Android Auto would be a free upgrade at some point.

Dealer did my 2016 XC90 a couple weeks ago. Cant remember if i paid for carplay or not, but the upgrade to two usb ports was free to include software that resolved the faulty operation of it.

Im sorry to drag an old topic up, but in the interest of not duplicating a thread.

Im undertaking the change myself on a 2016 XC90, but wanted to know if anyone knows if the Software update is CCF driven?
I have no idea what "CCF Driven" means, but I am pretty sure you need an active VIDA Setup with valid subscription that includes the software installation capability.

O have your dealer install the software.

I've already got CarPlay and for some time I've been trying to understand the need for 2X USB for Android Auto. I've got a MY16 XC90 with single port. Right now as a Pixel user I've got an old iPhone plugged in and use this for Maps, Spotify etc.

Question: Has anybody enable Android Auto via VDash with a single port only? I'm aware I need my CEM PIN for this operation. I did email / raise a ticket with D5T5 some time ago without response...

In other news; there is a deal here in the UK currently to get both ports installed and CarPlay / Android Auto installed for ÂŁ180 direct from Volvo instead of the usual ÂŁ300. But I prefer the ÂŁ30 VDash option if it'll work - im also looking to enable a Subwoofer.
