So have had my XC90 for about two months now. Loved the nice large screen until I bought my BMW X3 M40i.
You see, when you park the XC90 and approach an object the sensors go off and the screen changes showing an outline of the vehicle and the area where the object is. However there is no button to push to switch to the 360 view showing your surroundings. You have to back out of that view, swipe left I think, and then select the camera option and then select 360 view. My need for the 360 view is to see parking lines, curbs, etc. I’ve got the 21” rims and would like to keep the curb’d free for a little while longer.
Also when reversing you only get the backup camera which is partially cutoff at the top by the park assist options of park in or park out. This blocks the upper part of the camera and limits your view of oncoming cars, kids, etc.
And the backup camera view is at a weird angle which skews the view a bit.
On my BMW, when I put it in reverse I get the backup camera and the 360 camera all on one screen. Also when pulling in forward to park when it senses an object the same screen pops up showing the 360 view plus front view.
I’m definitely a fan of the BMW system, so much so I may not be keeping the XC90 for more than a few years. I had planned to keep for at least 8 and longer if there were no major issues. I purchased the 7 service visits and 10/100000 extended warranty. May be calling Mike up to cancel them.
And, when I initially starting the car and putting in reverse the backup camera will flash on and off since the sensus system is still loading. In the BMW it’s instantaneous and doesn’t turn off to wait for the system to boot.
Not feeling the XC90 so much since we picked up the BMW. The need for the third row is keeping us from getting the X5 for now. I won’t even discuss the XC90’s 2.0 versus BMWs inline turbocharged 6 cylinder.
