SOUND, MEDIA AND INTERNET
Sound, media and Internet
The audio and media system consists of media
player and radio. You can also connect a phone
via Bluetooth to use handsfree functions or play
music wirelessly in the car. When the car is con-
nected to the Internet you can also use apps for
media playback.
Overview of audio and media
Control the functions with your voice, steering
wheel keypad or the centre display. The number
of speakers and amplifiers depends on which
audio system the car is equipped with.
System updating
The audio and media system is continuously
improved. When the car is connected to the Inter-
net, it is possible to download system updates for
optimal functionality, see support.volvocars.com.

Audio settings
The audio system is preset for optimal sound
reproduction but can be adapted according to
needs.
The volume is normally adjusted with the volume
control below the centre display or with the right-
hand steering wheel keypad. This applies, for
example, during playback of music, radio, ongoing
phone calls and active traffic messages.
Optimum sound reproduction
The audio system is pre-calibrated for optimum
sound reproduction by means of digital signal
processing. This calibration takes into account
loudspeakers, amplifiers, passenger compartment
acoustics, listener position, etc., for each combi-
nation of car model and audio system. There is
also a dynamic calibration that takes into account
the setting of the volume control and vehicle
speed.

view under Settings Sound:
