I'm practically only tempted to go back to my iPhone right now because of my #VolvoCars #XC60Recharge.

I hate that I can't get #AndroidAuto simply because the car's running #AndroidAutomotiveOS. Barely functional. Terrible OS.

Whereas iPhones have full CarPlay functions!

I wonder when, if ever, @VolvoCars will have assistant functionality to voice activate opening windows and sunroof.

I look at BYD, and their assistant controls almost everything. Can even open passenger windows to x%!

Also, I still find it such a shame that my #XC60Recharge can’t park itself, and that it doesn’t have active steering wheel assist without turning on Pilot Assist.

Had these in my old Kia that’s half the price.

Just discovered that the Volvo app on my Apple Watch tells me the petrol level in my #XC60Recharge. The Android and iOS apps don’t tell me anything about the petrol level.

Need to try the Remote Start and Climate functions from the Watch tomorrow. Not working currently.

Even thought it’s only 40 mm wider than my previous car, after almost a year, I’m still not good with driving the #Volvo #XC60Recharge in tight spaces.

I think I’ll have to get a smaller SUV next time.

I’m also still hating how it doesn’t have an auto-parking feature.
I used to use it all the time in my previous cars.

In 3 years, Australia should be sufficiently electrified for me to switch to a full electric. Perhaps an #EX30 or a #XC40Recharge.

Apple Maps via CarPlay makes better use of the HUD and driver display than Google Maps or Waze in my @VolvoCars #XC60Recharge.
CarPlay is better than #AndroidAutomotive in every way. Even Android Auto is better than AAOS.

Volvo should’ve stayed with Sensis instead of using AAOS.
