2023 Volvo XC90 Apple CarPlay

 

Apple® CarPlay®

CarPlay gives you the option to listen to music, make phone calls, get directions, send/receive messages and use Siri®, all while you stay focused on your driving.
CarPlay works with selected iPhone® models. If the car does not already have support for CarPlay then it is possible to install it afterwards. Contact a Volvo dealer to install CarPlay.

Information about which apps are supported and which iPhone models are compatible is available on Apple’s website: www.apple.com/ios/carplay/. Please note that Volvo does not accept responsibility for the content of CarPlay.

When using map navigation via CarPlay, there is no guidance in the driver display or head-up display, but only in the centre display.
When navigation is started through Apple CarPlay, ongoing native turn-by-turn route guidance will be ended.

The CarPlay apps can be controlled via the centre display, your iPhone or with the steering wheel’s right-hand keypad. The apps can be voice-controlled using Siri. A long press on the steering wheel button  starts voice control using Siri and a short press activates the car’s own voice control. If Siri breaks off too early, hold the steering wheel button  depressed.

Using Apple® CarPlay®

To use CarPlay, Siri® voice control must be activated in your iPhone®. The device also needs an Internet connection for all functions to work.
Connect an iPhone and start CarPlay
Note
CarPlay can only be used if Bluetooth is deactivated in the car. A phone or media player connected to the car via Bluetooth will therefore not be available when CarPlay is active.
  1. Connect an iPhone with support for CarPlay to the USB port with a white frame. If CarPlay has been used from the phone previously then CarPlay is opened automatically.
  2. If it is the first time that the phone is connected, read and accept the conditions for connection.
    >CarPlay opens and compatible apps are shown.
  3. Tap on the desired app.
    >The app starts.

CarPlay runs in the background if another app is started. To show CarPlay again – tap on the CarPlay app in the app view.

Tips for using Apple® CarPlay®

Here are some useful tips for using CarPlay®.
  • Update your iPhone® with the latest version of the iOS operating system and ensure that the apps have been updated.
  • In the event of a problem with CarPlay, disconnect your iPhone from the USB port and reconnect. Otherwise, try to close the app on the device that is not working and then restart the app, or try closing all apps and restart your device.
  • Using Siri® it is possible to write/dictate and read out messages. Messages are read out and dictated in the language selected in the settings for Siri. When you write/dictate messages, no text will be shown in the centre display, but the text is shown in your iPhone.
  • If the device is connected to the car via Bluetooth, the connection will be interrupted when CarPlay is used.
  • CarPlay only works with iPhone.
Note
Availability and functionality may vary depending on market.
