Quality of life updates. Nice. Didn’t even know the front windshield had heating elements and likely will never ever use them living in SoCal.
It was frustrating this winter with the relentless cold. Blades would end up re-freezing on longer drives. Before, they would only turn on with defrost, which will also cook you.

“Reduced steering wheel vibrations at highway speeds”

Ok how in the hell do you do this with software?

Not that I’m complaining, because I was just being annoyed this morning by a vibrating steering wheel on the highway.

If they can fix that with software, it gives me some hope they can address some of the erratic suspension behavior I continue to have.

I hadn't realized they ever used the wiper heaters at all...didn't seem like it. But I tried not to use the front defrost much since as you said it'll cook you alive. Every other car I've had with a heated wiper park turned them on with a separate button. The rear defrost was usually tied to the side mirror heaters though.

I had the coolest idea for wipers way back when I was in High School: put the squirters on the wiper arms! That way, the whole windshield gets wet instead of just two spots.

Then, just a few years later, GM actually did it on a few models. Don't hardly see it anywhere anymore though. I wonder why. Sure there is the issue of the fluid hose getting worn out, but that should be easily replaceable.

They are not packaged with regular updates, so don't expect notes on it here.
So you think they haven't released the notes for the A+ updates yet, but you think there will be updates with this release? It's weird they would provide half the notes in a release if that is the case.

I, too am hoping they figure out the whole connectivity issue with the XM radio. Since the last update I am having DAILY ongoing issues with keeping connected. I have resorted to just streaming it off the app which is a bit of a PIA sometimes too.

Volvos have the washer jets on the wiper arm.
