A new OTA (Over-The-Air) update to compatible Volvo cars brings Apple Music integration to the car’s infotainment system. Volvo says over two million Volvo cars will benefit from this integration.
As part of the update, new and returning Apple Music subscribers will get up to three months of Apple Music for free.
Apple Music arrives in more than 2 million Volvo cars
Several car manufacturers have rolled out native Apple Music integration to their infotainment systems. This allows you to directly access your Apple Music library from the car’s infotainment system.
After the update, you should see a dedicated Apple Music app in your Volvo car’s infotainment system (via Exame). Since the app runs natively on the infotainment system, there is no need to connect an iPhone through CarPlay first.
Volvo is the latest car manufacturer to join this list. It is rolling out an OTA update to most of its vehicles from model year 2020 onward to add Apple Music integration. The compatible vehicles are as follows:
- EX90
- ES90
- XC90
- S90
- V90
- XC60
- S60
- V60
- XC40
- EX40
- EC40
Owners of the Volvo EX60, EX90 and ES90 with the optional Bowers & Wilkins audio system will enjoy an even better sound quality, with Apple Music Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos support.
Do note that the OTA update may take a while to roll out depending on the region.
Eligible Volvo owners get three months free
Apple and Volvo are also providing three months of free Apple Music trial to new and returning subscribers. Apple typically offers a one-month free trial to new subscribers.
The offer runs through July 6, 2027. So, there is a lot of time to take advantage of this offer. Eligible owners can redeem the complimentary trial through the Volvo Cars app.
