Not sure. This video is for a 2019 model. Was your vehicle a pre-owned? These Volvos were able to operate 2 types of navigation. One navigation system is the Volvo Sensus navigation that is optional equipment installed on the car. The other is internet based navigation which required a subscription to activated a connection to volvo internet services and it featured navigation maps. Check your settings/app menu and look at the navigation icon. If it says something like "internet" or "web" then the car does not have navigation. Its likely that you saw maps because the car had an active subscription and then it expired or was cancelled by the previous owner of the car. Make sure the app in the car says "Navigation" and NOT "internet"

@@HollywoodRoseJack Cool. Yes, it was actually a very common thing from buyers at the time, they would see a vehicle with a screen and would automatically assume it had onboard navigation and of course that wasnt the case. Ive seen people return to the dealer next day after their purchase wondering how the navigation works only to find out the car never had that feature. Nowadays just about every newer car has a screen since they need to have back up cameras but the same still goes, screen doesnt necessarily mean it has navigation.

On smart phone link,can you use your phone on this for Goole maps?
@GWoodCars3 жыл бұрын
If you mean having the system project the google maps application on to the screen and operating it via the screen, no, I dont believe so. The best and I think the only way to do that is to have a system with android auto or apple car play. This system was used at a time when smart phone integration and syncing on cars was just getting started so there was not a whole lot of support for apps or other more robust phone functions beyond making/receiving calls and playing your music. This system had its own navigation app you had to buy, download on to the car and your phone though I doubt there will be much support for it now.

this was the older infotainment system used in GM cars at the time (around 2014-15). Apple carplay was still fairly new and wasnt widely available for most cars since many car manufacturers hadnt caught up and secured licensing to use the software in their cars including GM. It was available soon after on some of their models in 2016 when they updated to the next gen MyLink system.

GM vehicles have 3 settings for the courtesy light(s) Off, On, and "Door". If the light s arent turning on when opening the door, its because its set to "off" On this truck, I believe its the switch on the roof near the dome light seen at 11:06, (the small button with a picture of a truck with the door open) if not then it will be the dimmer switch, seen at 3:00, just increase the illumination till the light comes on.

Is the TLX cabin quieter inside than the 2018 Accord ? Also which car drives better..and why ?
@GWoodCars4 жыл бұрын
It is night and day. Contrary to what some believe, the TLX is not a rebadged Accord. They are different platforms. The TLX has much more sound absorbing material and higher grade material making for a quieter cabin. The door panels are thicker, theres covers in the wheel wells and Acura has a small noise cancelling microphone inside the cabin to help in reducing outside sounds. Acura also has triple layer side windows (glass, laminate, glass) you can see when you roll down the windows. All you need to do is sit in both, just by slamming the door you can tell the difference. Which drives better is subjective. The TLX 4cyl has more power (206 vs. 190 on honda) and puts it down to the ground better, imo. The 2.4 NON turbo engine+the traditional 8-speed dual clutch tranny has been used for years, Honda reserved this only for Acura's, I believe and at this point, its as reliable as you can get. The Honda uses a pretty small turbo engine (1.5L) which always tend to have a little lag. Although it puts out enough power, its a big car so its working hard which translates to noise. It also uses a CVT tranny which although are getting much better, they still feel odd sometimes and kinda mushy. Overall, The Honda is geared towards value and economy, more stuff for your money while Acura is geared towards a premium drive and performance. Acura also offers all-wheel drive options on their cars that really elevate handling while Honda does not offer this on theirs.

@@GWoodCars i totally agree with you. One time i was in an Accord 2.0t Uber, and i was thinking OMG! It’s so noisy compared with my TLX V6. I got the base V6 FWD and the dealer gave me a price of $30,600 brand new and I’m thinking it cost less than an Accord 2.0T that has leather. So my whole take on this experience is to always to get a base biggest engine Acura instead of an upgraded Honda.

I bought the same base model but 2019. Things I love: Exterior styling, LED headlight design/illumination, LED taillight design/illumination, very quiet cabin at all speeds, smart entry sensor on door (not just a button), decent sound system and fake leather interior (I'm vegan). Things I hate (with a passion): Front passenger seat cannot be raised. Several adults have told me it's too low for their comfort. No spare tire...just a cheap fix a flat kit. Had to purchase a $150.00 spare donut tire for peace of mind. Two infotainment screens are totally unnecessary and clutters the dashboard and it takes way too many inputs to turn on the heated seats. Come on Acura...my daughter has a 2018 Hyundai Elantra 4 door which cost $15K less and it comes with a spare tire, the front passenger seat CAN be raised, has a much better looking dashboard with 1 infotainment screen and only one push of a button turns on the heated seat.
@GWoodCars4 жыл бұрын
Yes, the interior infotainment is criticized alot for being outdated. I personally like to dual screen as I like that there is one screen dedicated to the radio and the other screen to everything else. Im not sure why so many manufacturers have opted to delete a spare tire from cars. Ive heard many things from saving weight for fuel efficiency to cost savings to avoiding state tire taxes. I know California has a tire tax and if theres a spare its extra cost but mostly it has to do with MPG regulations. less weight means the manufacturer can most likely give their car a higher MPG rating to meet more strict MPG regulations. This is why SUV's and trucks over a certain weight have spares because they are exempt from such regulations. The hyundai elantra is a very efficient, light car and having a spare probably didnt effect its ratings much.
