This feature is released globally in Volvo Connect. No services are required to see the release notes, though access to Volvo connect is required to be able to see them.
The release notes are shown in the Assets tool in Volvo Connect. To view the software release notes, go to the Assets tool, select a vehicle, and click Vehicle Details.
Note: If an ECU is updated several times, identical release notes will be displayed.
Services and Entertainment Module Release notes will always display the latest available version, even if the vehicle still has an older version. The Services and Entertainment Module Release notes are not unique per vehicle.
Note: Currently, due to known limitations, the Services and Entertainment Module Release notes are also displayed in Volvo Connect for vehicles that lack a SEM.
The ECU release notes are split between Current and Pending in Volvo Connect.
Current refers to what is installed in the vehicle. The release notes use the same content for workshops and customers, and they are generated on the specific vehicle. Currently it will display all software updates performed from November 1st, 2023, and reported as successful by either Tech Tool or Features Online.
Pending release notes are displayed when a software update is stored in the vehicle and are ready to be programmed.
