The Volvo infotainment system is an intuitive, fun, and easy-to-use system equipped in every Volvo vehicle. This system features Google Built-In for access to navigation and all your favorite apps. What's even better: Pairing your Apple® or Android smartphone with your Volvo infotainment system has never been easier. Seamlessly pair your devices to stream your favorite music and podcasts, answer phone calls, and much more.

In this guide, we're diving into the features of this advanced infotainment system so you can explore what you can do with this innovative and intuitive technology.

Volvo Infotainment System: Google Built-In

Your infotainment system features Google Assistant™, Google Maps, and Google Play, all easily accessible right from the center screen. You can talk to Google in your vehicle for navigation and directions, call or send messages to friends and family, and access your favorite media.

With Google Assistant™, you can control your infotainment system without ever having to take your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road. Say, "Hey Google," to activate the assistant, and you'll quickly be able to control navigation, music, your vehicle's climate-control system, and even seat heaters.

The integrated Google Maps allows you to navigate to your destination easily, and it will also locate charging stations along your route. This feature is beneficial on longer road trips and can help eliminate range anxiety for all-electric vehicles.

Controlling in-vehicle entertainment and comfort features is great, but your infotainment system can even stay connected to your compatible smart home devices while you're away on vacation. Once you're on the way back, bump up or turn down your home's temperature and turn on the lights so you can arrive at a well-lit, comfortable oasis.

Using Your Volvo Infotainment System

The infotainment system is the hub for many settings and features in your vehicle. The first step when using this technology is setting up your Driver Profile. It's recommended that each person who will be driving the car should set up their own profile for customization of the infotainment system based on who is in control. Each Driver Profile has a curated home screen with dynamic tiles displaying your favorite and last-used apps like navigation and media.

You can pair your smartphone with your infotainment system with the Volvo Cars app. Download the app, create your Volvo ID, sign in, and then you will be ready to sync it with your vehicle.

Features of Your Infotainment System

These over-the-air updates ensure that your Volvo vehicle will stay on top of the latest features to make your ride as comfortable and convenient as possible.

Another benefit of this technology is the climate control function, which can help cool down the media center display if it ever becomes overheated. If this occurs, the Volvo "Cooling Infotainment System" message will be shown on your instrument panel, letting you know that it is working to bring the temperature down.

If you experience connectivity issues or the center display response is slow, you can reset Volvo infotainment system settings from the settings menu, where you can choose a Factory Reset or Reset Personal Settings.
