1.5 Update - What to expect?

[Fapmx]

Hey guys. I’m just about to receive my new EX30 this weekend. I was looking at zeekr x, which is a very close relative of the Volvo ex30, and it comes with CarPlay under android auto os. Works wonderful, at least in the time I have the demo one for a full 10 minutes they allowed me to be inside.

I will want a setting to bookmark some settings and have a menu with only those bookmarked option. For example, speed alert, OPD on/off, driver alert system si the user can find them more easily.

Ehat are the dates for those week numbers?

Update 1.4.1: Week starting Monday, August 26, 2024.

Update 1.5: Week starting Monday, November 11, 2024.

Hi! Does anyone know if it's already available the 1.4.1 update? Or any update for this week?

I checked the Volvo website software updates page this morning and it is still showing 1.4 as the latest version.

It's not.

A question for those of you who are eagerly awaiting Apple Car Play. What is the reason for this need? I have only used ACP with a friend's phone in his car, back in 2022, and it didn't offer anything that Android Auto doesn't offer. Yes, just like Android Auto allows you to use messaging functions, which Android Auto allows but not Android Automotive in Volvo... my question comes because I get the impression that the future integration of ACP or A A may not be complete and Volvo may restrict the use of certain applications and functions that may be distracting. I also hope and wish that Android Auto is included and that it reads my messages or I can send them using only my voice, but otherwise, the interface it had in 2022 seemed a bit outdated to me, full of bright colors, and everything a bit cluttered. I also don't know how Android (Google) is going to integrate Siri on its own OS. ACP has normally been integrated on "dumber" or more neutral OS. But this is ultimately trying to run an Apple OS on an Android system. It's like mixing apples and oranges. If it works out well, they deserve a medal, but I'm afraid it will always be better to use A. Automotive's own than ACP. Although I can't give an opinion beyond what I experienced briefly and what I read in Reddit-type opinions and so on.

If only so I could open my garage door using HomeKit and many other apps not available on Android Automotive

You can add your garage door in Google Home and open with Google Assistant. It's work very well !

Any update? There're some rumors about 1.4.2 via dealerships in the week 35, no OTA. Also, the software updates are globally or it will be first in Europe, then America, then Africa...? I don't know how was the last updates, I received my ex30 with sw 1.4 already.

Out of interest, how credible are the sources of the rumours you hear?

New mobile app software release v1.6.1 today. Could be a good sign the car software update isn’t far off…

I have contacted my dealer (Here in Australia) as well, will let you know of any news.
