And I suggest that when you have the eq settings fixed you post a pic for those of us (yes, me) with a tin ear who could never accomplish this on our own. Yes, I know it's subjective, but give me something to compare to.

I was trying to use Favorites to save different equalizer settings for bluetooth and CDs! Couldn't get it to work, but I wanted a different sound with each mode. If I could figure out how to load pictures, I'd be happy to do that, but thus far, the picture loading skill has eluded me.

Arowens, could you go into your MyCar/Settings/Information/Map&SoftwareVersion, and post your Software and Map Version levels for us here, please?

Would be helpful to know what I'll be looking for, as I have little doubt I will be my dealer's "guinea pig" on the software updates.

(FYI, my S/W version is 0995 (way old!) and my map version is V30.11.02 (which I just installed this week - just got my NAVTEQ update DVDs a few days earlier)).

I brought my S60 in today (XC 60 going in next week) for some regular recall items and minor warranty rattle issues... the dealer is putting Sensu 3.0 in both cars, no questions asked... Nothing else is getting done, no oil change, service etc... just warranty work....

Software version: 0BC2 Map version the same as yours: V30.11.02.
There are some funky voice command patches that didn't come automatically. Techs had to call Volvo and their response was, Oh yeah. That should have been included in the update.

I would second that. It would be awesome to look at your settings. Plz

Thanks for all this good info. I'm going to have to warn my service writer about all these "looks fors" (voice command patches, making sure I get all the updates since I have an early '12 VIN #, etc), because I know he doesn't have too many tech-savvy customers (Pensacola/Gulf Coast is not exactly a techie hotbed!) - he tends to simply attach the vehicles to the system and just "let it do whatever it does", and since I live 125 miles from the dealership I'm not about to go back and forth to get any lingering issues resolved. It has to be right the first/only time.

Just make sure that you play with it and do all that you expect it to do before you leave. That's how I found out about voice command. I had taken another car out for awhile prior to deciding on indash so knew the fundamentals of voice command. I stopped just as I exited the service bay to play with it. When mine wouldn't do it, thought, uh oh. My salesman was so irritated at the service area! Once service called Volvo to see what the deal was and they got the right patch, it took less than 15 minutes to update and install.

I have a 2011 that I picked up in Sweden last April. I received a box of DVDs for the map update and had no luck with the install. It says the install can take 4 or 5 hours and that it will pause and restart when you stop and start the car. I got it started but it would not restart after stopping my car. This partial installation also deactivated the voice commands. My dealer said to bring it in and they would do it for free. They couldn't get it to work either and had to keep the car for two days to get it all sorted out. They ended up upgrading to Sensus 3.0 in the process.

I noticed several improvements with the new version. 1) It seems to connect to my phone faster and easier. (It is a Motorola Photon Android phone.) I had to futz with it previously to get it connected. Now, since I had to redo all my connections and settings, it connected right away. 2) There is a new listing of "Trip Statistics" that lists trip duration and some other info that I haven't fully explored yet. It is in with the "My Car" settings, etc. You can set it to reset after every trip or not. It is a good addition. I have wanted that information several times since getting the car.

I am in process of apply the DVD update on my Sensus 3.0 system. It has failed to automatically restart the update a few times saying it has "paused". I eject the DVD, switch to Disc, then reinsert the DVD. It then resumes after a period of "Reading disc...". Is this what you are experiencing?

 

[drat19]

I had similar experience on my DVD map update...had to repeat re-inserting the disc a couple of times along the way in order to get it to finally reach the "reading disc..." phase and then have it proceed, but eventually I was able to complete the process. You'd think they'd have a better way to do this (via Volvo computer, or a thumb drive rather than slow DVDs)...ugh.

There's a new map update or is this the version we share? Another glitch I discovered: none of my cds will play. Either the unit won't accept them or it pulls the cd in then spits it out. I stopped by my dealer this morning. The service receptionist thought I'd need a new nav unit. I asked if a manager or tech could sit in the car and let me show what it's doing. They think it needs another mysterious patch....

Yes. Exactly.

Not eligible for Sensus 3.0

I asked for Sensus 3.0 today for our 2011.5 XC60 during factory scheduled maintenance. After looking through their computer, I was told by the service advisor that it wasn't available yet for our model.

Did anyone else that has a 2011.5 get Sensus 3.0 yet? I will be stopping by the the dealer next week, so maybe I can request it again at that time.

I have a 2011.5 that I got last May and had the dealer install 3.0 a few weeks ago.

 

[avery1317]

Picked ours up in Sweden April 29th 2011. Is that 2011.5?

Noticed some other changes with Sensus 3. Now, hitting the advance buttons on the steering wheel while using Sat radio cycles through the presets instead of moving to the next station on the dial. Also when you use exit and go out to the main menu your current choice is the starting point instead of always starting at the top with Nav. Seem to be some other changes with the Nav menu but haven't isolated them yet.

Sensus on the XC60 was introduced in the 2011.5 model.

Here's a nice video review of the new features in 3.0:

my dealer updated to Sensus 3.0 on my 2012 S60 at the 7,500 mile service last week - no issues or cost getting it done

I called for my 7500 mile appointment today, asked for Sensus 3.0 and was told they'd do it if it was "available." I don't know if they were saying "We'll do it if it's available at all" or "We'll do it if it's available for your specific VIN."

You can never tell what the service writers are aware of and what they aren't. IMO, I shouldn't have to wait another 7500 miles for them to get familiar with current Volvo technology that's applicable to my car by learning on someone else.

It is available for any MY12.
