Google Software

All my contacts show and are shared. It just won’t allow me to use the voice function to call them.

I had this - could voice call contacts, and then I couldn't. The solution was to clear the cache in the account. I can't remember exactly how, but I did it with the very helpful tech at Rybrook Preston, and it's been fine ever since - no problem voice calling contacts.

With reference to Porker1972 post on previous page, That is some list of issues, cannot help with all but with regards to

Faults with the Sat Nav so far - multiple personality failures:

(Assume you have tried the centre screen reset when your issue starts - usually clears any issues, for the connectivity are you getting the small x in the data signal display on the top left ?)

Parking sensors
- slam on crash prevention braking when there's nothing there.

(Are the sensors going off, assume you are talking about when in reverse ?)

Mirrors:

- randomly decide if they are going to tilt down for reversing.

(Would you have pressed the left or right mirror button when reverse is engaged ? if you have pressed the mirrors will tilt down, this is a feature)

What???!!! I'm picking up MY24 XC60 next week, and one of the big selling points was Google rather than Sensus. I didn't realise it no longer showed/alerted traffic cameras!! I may have to sell it quick.

Does it at least show traffic cameras if you have the map showing?

With AAOS you can use Waze as an app with all its usual alerts but it only works on the main screen.

I have just discovered if you start waze first and then switch to google maps and set your destination, waze carries on working invisibly in the background, so if you prefer googlemaps and the centre display, you can, and if waze is set to alerts you still get a voice over "camera ahead" or whatever - usefully the camera alert on waze only comes on if you are over the limit....

Only downside, is when you stop, you have to first resume waze and then switch and re-set googlemaps, because resuming waze initially disconnects your route in google maps.
