2018 Volvo V90 Hybrid Navigation and Audio System Issues at 117,133 KM

Hey, I totally get where you're at. Exact same thing happened with my 2015 Volvo S90. The interplay between the control unit and the display often gets wonky due to a shaky connection. In my case, my garage buddies traced it down to a poor cable connection between the control unit and the display. They had to perform a detailed inspection of the cable, which, I'll tell you, wasn't a walk in the park. The cable issue actually affected the whole infotainment system, and that could well be why your navigation and audio system are acting up. It's really a bummer, I know. In the end, they replaced the cable and tested the control unit thoroughly to ensure everything was back to its groovy self. It wasn't a giant disaster but definitely vital to sort. So you might wanna find a reputable dealer or mechanic to run a complete diagnostics on your beauty. Good luck and keep us posted!

Hey there, thanks for sharing. Isn't it just annoying how even the smallest wire issue can make our sophisticated cars go bonkers? Your experience got me thinking, can you recall roughly how much that cable replacement and control unit testing set you back? And have you encountered any other issues or any recurrence since fixing it? Looking forward to your reply, cheers!

Hey! Yeah, it's really wild how these cars we love so much can turn into a madhouse all because of one little cable. As for the price, it was around 165 Euro to fix the cable connection glitch between the control unit and display. They had to do some fine tweakin' to dig out the problem, but at the end of the day, it was worth every penny. Ever since I had it fixed, I haven’t had an issue - the audio system's been working beautifully, just like fresh out of the box. It's like my car bounced back to its prime. The control unit and display are working harmoniously together again. These fixes might feel like a punch to the wallet, but it's all part of loving and maintaining this motor beast. Looking forward to hearing how things go down . Take care!

Appreciate it! The figure you gave doesn't sound quite as fearsome as I'd anticipated. You're right about the love-hate relationship; the bliss of a smooth ride is worth every penny that goes into these niggling fixes. I think I'll bite the bullet and have a trustworthy mechanic check it out. Looking forward to cruising with my beast back in its prime. I'll keep you guys posted on how it goes. Cheers for the support!
