2022 Volvo XC40 Download Center
Download Center
Download Centre is started from the app view in the center display and enables:
- searching for and updating specific software
- updating map data for Sensus Navigation
- downloading, updating, and uninstalling apps.
Updating software via Download Centre
The message New software updates available See Download Center is shown in the center display’s status bar when a new software update is available.
Search for updates
- Go to Download Centre in the center display’s app view.
- A search is started. If a new search has already been made since the start-up, the system needs to be restarted before a new search can be made.
- If an installation is already in progress, no search is made.
- Select the software area to view which updates are available.
Starting an update
- Select one of the installation options in the Download Centre’s list of available updates.
- The download of selected software starts.
- The update can be canceled during the download phase by pressing the cross next to the selected software.
- When the download is finished and the installation has started, it is no longer possible to cancel the update.
The speed of other online services may be affected during the download. You can cancel the download and restart it later, or prioritize the update by switching off other online services, such as Internet radio.
If you switch off the ignition and leave the car, the update resumes the next time you use the car.
Tips in the event of problems with updates via the Download Centre
No connection to the service
If the No connection to service message is shown then this means that the connection to the service is not working. There may be several reasons why the connection is not working. A number of possible causes and solutions are listed below.
Your car has no Internet connection
Make sure your car is connected to the Internet by means of one of the following options:
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth-connected phone
- Car modem (P-SIM)
Then restart the app by going back to home view, then press Download Centre.
The Internet connection is working, but the remote updates service is not available at the moment
Restart the app by going back to home view, then press Download Centre. A new search is then started and the inquiry is sent to the remote updates function. If the error message is displayed repeatedly for more than 12 hours, the service may be temporarily out of action or down for maintenance. If the fault persists for more than 48 hours, contact your Volvo dealer or Volvo Cars Customer Service for more assistance.
The service has been inactive for 12 months
If the Download Centre service has not been used for 12 months, it will take longer to start the next time you use the service (approximately 60 seconds). The remote updates service will start more quickly the next time you start it, as long as the service has been used within 12 months.
The car loses its Internet connection while updating
If the car loses its Internet connection while an update is in progress, check the Internet connection and then restart the function.
If an update or download in progress stops responding despite restarting the car
If you experience that an update or download in progress stops responding despite having restarted the car, please visit a workshop to have this rectified.
Too many apps installed
The space for apps is a maximum of 10 GB. If the space is full it is not possible to perform updates from the car. It may be full if you store a lot of music offline, for example. Free up memory by deleting an app or storing offline music, for example.
If the infotainment system restarts by itself during an ongoing installation/update
If the car’s infotainment system restarts by itself during an ongoing installation of an app or a system update, try to reinstall the app or system update. If you find that this doesn’t help, visit a workshop for further assistance.
If a map update stops in the message Leave car with the engine off to finalize
If you have completed a map update and get the message Leave car with engine off to finalize and the message does not disappear after a restart, visit a workshop for further assistance. If possible, wait 14 days and the message will disappear by itself.
More help
If you have not received answers to your questions and need more help, contact your Volvo dealer or Volvo Cars Customer Service.
Note
An update may be interrupted when the ignition is switched off and the car is left. However, the update does not need to be completed before the car is left as the update will be resumed the next time the car is used.
Note
Data downloading can affect other services such as transfer data, e.g. web radio. If the effect on other services is experienced as problematic, the download can be interrupted. Alternatively, it may be appropriate to switch off or cancel other services.
