Now that Volvo have delivered on CarPlay and Digital Key, what would you like to see next?
The only things I feel I am missing from the perfect experience are:
- a shortcut to fold the mirrors in when I’m in reverse
- a shortcut to enable performance mode (either on the contextual bar or the steering wheel hotkey)
- ability to use the cameras as a dashcam
- ability to view the 360° camera in full screen like on the EX90
What would you like to see next from OTA software updates?
in order
- use cameras as dashcam
- use cameras as sentry
- more than one timer for climate and timers based on location
- auto fold mirrors on arrival to home address
- the cameras are already there, other cars can do this so legal arguments are surmountable
- subtly different than dashcam but obviously connected. I remember that Tesla implemented them at different times, first one, then the other.
- for example, i want the car to climatize at 5:30am at home, but at 3pm at work. currently there is only one timer and no location smarts
- a lazy nicety for those of us with a skinny garage

Android Key(prefer Samsung Key), Android Auto, rear mirrors flip down on reverse parkin, foglights icon on main screen(or customizable screen), Google Home that can make routines working...and a dream...RAB for Plus Model. I think they are not crazy requests. Maybe the RAB...just an illusion.

Turn off the car by continuously pressing P for 5 to 10 seconds.
Turn off outside lights by continuously pushing the high beam stalk, for 5 to 10 seconds.
Add more options for the personalizable steering wheell button, perhaps letting it apply multiple functions, like turning off all driving assists and monitors, even if it had to be confirmed by steering wheel ok button.
Volume increase/decrease by side sliding the volume button, but just one touch, instead of click, look for the volume indicator, and then slide it.

yeah, I like the suggest for quick AWD on/off. I haven't done AWD yet because it turns off regen and one-pedal driving which I like. The TY has concurrent one pedal and AWD so I don't get Volvo's restriction.

Will likely never happen, no external memory available on the EX30 (like SDcard or USB pendrive) and the internal non-volatile memory would be destroyed in few years or even months due to the continuous massive writing/erasing.
The EX30 Android Automotive system must last for at least 10 years: have you ever seen a smartphone heavily used every day and lasting so long?

I would use the speed limiter more if it could be permanently selected. Also give it automatic recognition of speed limits.
