In today's world, it can be important to stay connected, and with being able to integrate your smartphone with pretty much everything it has become a necessity. Volvo has made it easier and safer to integrate your smartphone with your vehicle so you can use all your favorite apps through the touchscreen available on your Volvo. Volvo is making it easier than ever to listen to your favorite tunes, get step-by-step directions, voice text and call family and friends.
Apple CarPlay Tips
When using the app, and you want to go back to the Home menu, you can press the round white "Home button" in the lower left-hand corner. You can even use your voice to control features in your vehicle using Siri. To activate Siri, use a long press on the steering wheel button until Siri activates. With the help of Siri, you can send messages, navigate all over Connecticut, and even make phone calls.
Carplay also allows you to enable voice command directions so you could say things like:
- "Hey Siri take me to the volvo dealer near me"
- "Siri give me directions to New York City please
- "Hey Siri whats the fastest route to Providence, RI"
Now Siri voice control isn't already activated but you have to actually activate this feature on your iOS device to use Apple CarPlay. If you haven't been connected to CarPlay before, then you need to connect your smartphone to the USB port located in your vehicle. This will bring you to download the app and you will be all set up!
If your phone has been previously connected to CarPlay, then you should still connect the iOS device to the USB port to start. Here, your Volvo will connect to your smartphone and then prompt CarPlay on your phone to open CarPlay.
