Bluetooth compatibility with phones
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that enables connectivity between multiple media devices. To connect a phone to Volvo’s Bluetooth system, the phone must be compatible with the car.
Compatible phones and functions
Not all phones are compatible with Volvo’s Bluetooth system. The phones that can be connected to Volvo’s Bluetooth system may also have different functions, and not all functions in the system are available on all phones.
Connect the car to the Internet via a Bluetooth-enabled phone
Create an Internet connection via Bluetooth by sharing your phone’s Internet access and accessing several online services in the car.
To be able to connect the car to the Internet via a Bluetooth-connected phone, the phone has to have already been connected to the car via Bluetooth for a first time.
Make sure that your phone supports tethering and that this function is activated. On an iPhone, this function is known as “tethering”. On Android phones, this function may have different names but is frequently known as “hotspot”. For iPhones, the menu page “tethering” must also be open until the Internet connection has been established.
If the phone has been connected via Bluetooth previously, press Settings in the centre display top view.
Press .
Tick the box for Bluetooth Internet connection under the heading Internet connection.
If another connection source has been used, confirm the option to change connection.
Your car is now connected to the Internet via the Bluetooth-connected phone.
Note
The telephone and network provider must support tethering (Internet connection sharing), and the subscription must include data.
Note
When using Apple CarPlay, it is only possible to connect the car to the Internet using Wi-Fi or the car modem.
Phone
A phone with Bluetooth can be connected wirelessly to the car’s built-in hands-free system.
The audio and media system acts as hands-free, with the facility to remotely control a selection of the phone’s functions. The phone can still be operated with its own keys even if it is connected to the car.
When a phone has been connected online and connected with the car, it can be used make calls, send/receive messages, play back media wirelessly and be used as an Internet connection.
The phone is operated from the centre display, but also via voice control and the app menu, which are accessed from the right-hand steering wheel keypad.

Controlling a telephone with voice control
Call a contact, have messages read aloud or dictate brief messages with voice control commands to a Bluetooth-connected telephone.
To specify a contact in the phone book, the voice control command must include contact information that is entered in the phone book. If a contact, e.g. Robyn Smith, has several phone numbers then the number category can also be stated, e.g. Home or Mobile: “Call Robin Smith Mobile“.
Press and say one of the following commands:
- “Call [contact]” – dials the selected contact from the phone book.
- “Call [phone number]” – dials the phone number.
- “Recent calls” – displays the call list.
- “Read message” – the message is read out. If there are several messages – select which message should be read out.
- “Message to [contact]” – the user is prompted to speak a short message. The message is then repeated aloud and the user can choose to send or revise the message. For this function to work, the car must be connected to the Internet.
