Just published on Volvo page!

Updates in software 1.5.2
Software release date: 6 March 2025

Note
This update will be available as an over-the-air download about three weeks after the software release date.

Digital Key
You can lock, unlock and start the car by using your phone as a digital key. The digital key is stored in your phone's wallet app. To start your car using the digital key, bring it with you inside the car or place it on the card reader. Digital Key is currently only available for Apple devices.

A digital key lets you use your phone as a key card to unlock, lock and start the car.
To pair the car with your phone, open the mobile app for your car and start the guide. If the pairing is successful, your digital key appears in your phone's wallet app.
Before starting to set up a digital key, make sure that:
    your car is updated to software version 1.5.2 or later
      your phone is updated to the latest software version
        the EX30 app is updated to software version 1.7.4 or later
          the car is stationary and the phone is in the car
            all of the doors are closed
            you have connectivity in both your car and your phone
              Bluetooth is enabled on your phone
                you have a valid key with you, such as a key fob or key card

                The owner can also share their digital key to another compatible device or move their main digital key to another device, for example when getting a new phone. To share your digital key, the person you share it with needs to have the same brand of phone. Their phone also needs to be compatible with the digital key.
                Some devices might not be compatible with the digital key. If you're not sure if your device supports digital keys, check with your phone's manufacturer.

                General Improvements
                The air conditioning system now has better performance to reduce the likelihood of condensation on the windows and improve the air flow from the footwells.

                This update also contains some tweaks and fixes. Including improvements to:
                  Radio performance

                  Fantastic! It seems Apple are finally getting their game together.

                  I also saw this in the news, looks like the odd NextGen CarPlay feature is starting to roll out to various models too at last. Only a feature for Waze so far…also one we probably won’t get! But we will eventually be able to control the car systems with Siri pretty soon. What happens to the display is a mystery!

                  But it said: "Deze update zal beschikbaar zijn als over-the-air download ongeveer drie weken na de releasedatum van de software." So it will still be coming OTA and your dealer will also have to be able to download it into your car at a later time. Was just announced this morning. ;-)

                  You might be right since it says: "Releasedatum van de software: 6 maart 2025" and "Deze update zal beschikbaar zijn als over-the-air download". So it might be an OTA update only?

                  First Apple Carplay, not Android Auto. Then Apple Watch app, no WearOS app. Now the Digital Key only for Apple. Volvo sucks. :cry:

                  And..As I understand, It will be only the Digital Key, not the Plus. Only NFC. Not UWB yet.

                  'improve the air flow from the footwells.'

                  So, i will be able to send hot air to the footwell as i did 40 years ago in my ford fiesta? Great!

                  They can't even manage to get the android app to open at frst try, were you expecting to operate the car with the phone only? :lol:
