You can actually move the buttons under the Car functions menu by pressing down on a buton and move it to the position you want. I find that very useful.
private locking is for locking the glove compartment like a security box at the hotel. There is no place to lock it with a physical key so this is the way to do it.
The default driver mode is "standard" and no option for user to select any other modes as default unfortunately. I too have wondered that and asked the same to a salesperson (Sweden).
Thanks Kris for this great video. I have 2018 XC60 and everything seems to same (I have also updated Spotify to the recent version) However, I have a question since the beginning why instrument cluster theme do not change with the drive mode. I mean, I was expecting to see performance theme once I select dynamic from the selector. As far as I know it was the case for previous Volvo's (pre-spa) Please comment...
Last year there were many reports of this system being very slow, and prone to failure. Some users reported that the whole system would often lock up, and need to be rebooted. Has Volvo fixed the problems from the earlier versions of the system, or is it essentially the same as in the 2018 Volvo XC60?
Hi, good review! Spotify is not lossles though. It is compressed at 320kbps. Lossless would be a format like e.g. Flac. Sensus plays Flac via USB in SPA models :-)
Sheik Yerbouti that’s correct! But I was talking about lossless transfer from source and to device. When you stream over BT you loose alot of the quality from a 128kbps or 320kbps source. But when you the app in Sensue you don’t 😊
You need to let the system know that you want to play Spotify from your phone by choosing the ^Bluetooth^ option, instead of logging into Spotify from the car itself.
Are you sure its lossless quality ? Spotify only offers 320kbs quality to premium subscribtions, unless they have some special deal with spotify. Awesome if it actually is lossess.
namehereitis ah yes, I mean there is no loss in quality from the audio source to the sound system like you get with bluetooth streaming. Which makes a huge difference!
We have T5 XC60, we are able to drive 8l/100, but its so booring, there is so much fun you can do with Volvo so your brain won't allow this :D Otherwise average 9.8l
After watching the video, my POV is Volvo’s Sensus is complicated and needs a lot more refinement. It’s trying to do too much, making it confusing to use.

Thanks for the video. Is it possible to have an idea of the interior lighting?
Oh yes it has that feature and I have tested it in the 2019 S60 Momentum
There are like 10 different settings under the settings tab
A pity that we don't have connect safety function yet in Europe. Only in Norway and Sweden I believe.
Very good review. Could you do an in-depth review of the car settings? I mean to go through all menus - My cars, Sound, Media etc.
will it play a dvd while standing my old ec 60 will and is great if youre waiting for someone

Actually, private locking allows to prevent the tailgate to be unlocked, e.g. when you leave your car for service or similar situations...
What are the main differences between the 2018 and 2019 version? I only see the connected safety. Rest seems similar.
has anyone figured out how to make the individual drive mode to be the default mode every time you start your Volvo?

Does Apple CarPlay also work lossless like spotify in the volvo? Thx

Jim Good Volvo have to my knowledge fixed this issue and made the Sensus faster.
Is it possible to download playlists on spotify onto the car itself?

Did you find any thing new compare to 2018?
Yes I would love to know the top ten apps you would recommend a Volvo owner install in their car in your opinion
Had my S90 for over 6 months and I don't think I am aware of half the features.
Very good review thank you
3:50 this will be obsolete in 2020 when Volvo releases the Google I/O system

If your trying to control Spotify in Android Auto, you need the cable connected to the phone.
Volvo ad on this video 🤤
What a luck!
Hey Kris, reat job. Thinking about getting the new S60 when it arrives here in Morocco. Does the infotainment system have Android Auto?
I dont know how to feel about this system, it is pleasant to the eye but looks cumbersome and convoluted
Great video. Do you have the Volvo On Call service in the car. If so could you please demo the options it gives?
My friend called me and I had no idea how to end the call, help me out here plz
press ok (middle button on the right side of steering wheel). Or use arrows, under rpm clock you have details what's picked
thanks for video

Kris Rifa totally agree with you. I was just hoping for true lossless from Spotify, as you can get from Tidal. Thank you for the clarification !
looks like nothing got changed since 2016 xc90 first release on the ipad like infotainment system, responsive-less still
I can see the fuel consumption is very high

25 degrees is boiling weather in Norway? Perspectives 🤣🤣🤣
ardska that's hot when sitting inside a car with no ac in a shirt and pants 😂🙈 That's warm weather in Norway, 30+ is boiling here 🔥
There are so many points in here where you really did not know how it works. Not worth watching.

Should have done his homework before he made a video.......
Just bought 2020 Volvo and I regret not getting familiar with this beforehand.
Holy shit it's like 2010's tech. Horrible.
