Russian owners of Volvo cars were disconnected from the software by order of the Swedish automaker as part of the sanctions policy. Drivers cannot open the app and enable remote car warming. Salons will not be able to program new keys to replace lost ones. This was told to Izvestia by an employee of a car dealership.
Previously, Mercedes-Benz completely disconnected Russian dealers from its software. Access, among other things, is limited to online services that allow you to quickly detect the cause of a breakdown and eliminate it.
Automakers BMW and Audi, following Mercedes-Benz, have limited access to their software for Russian dealers. Car owners do not have access to maintenance history or item updates.
