Hi everyone, a question please. I’ve bought S90 2019 model. It’s lock and unlock flash indicator lights don’t blink. Is this a fault or some setting to enable them to blink when i lock or unlock my car?
Finally! I was super interested in this car but this was always holding me back. Thanks for sharing. In everyday use is the slow infotainment start up time annoying?
Finally. I am about to order a new XC90 T8 Recharge, and mainly use Waze as my goto navigation in my current car. can you please demonstrate how waze works on this screen, and how it looks?
I like the infomation of this video. BUT - please just stop waving endless with the camera from left to right the dashboard. Put it on a wide angle and we all can benefit from that without getting ditty.
This is for Volvos with the Google based system. Not the Sensus system. It varies from model to model. If you have the full screen CarPlay it’s Google. If it’s half screen it’s the Sensus system.
Can I download Google maps if I have Sensus infotainment system? Volvo xc90 2021 model. Also, is it possible to have full screen car play with external plugin device?
I love the look of Volvos and s safety features, but the infotainment is such a downer for me, especially in this price class! In the end of the day you’re sitting inside the car so outer looks are secondary. This small tablet, cable connected car play, Tachymeter not connected, looks slow too. I’ll rather get a Lexus for that money + longer guarantee
I've been able to control Apple Music/Spotify with the steering wheel buttons (play/pause/skip) There is also a button on the wheel that activates Siri. I'm on a 2016 XC90 Volvo so those features are still included in newer models.
Hi! I just bought a 2022 Volvo XC90 T5. When I test drove the Apple CarPlay was only on the lower half of the screen. It’s not a huge deal to me because my last car didn’t have a screen at all, but is this something that I can change with my year and model?
@@brittanybanner1098 unfortunately not through Volvo. You would have to go aftermarket to get a full screen CarPlay. Only XC90 with the Google based system can get this uodate.
@@brittanybanner1098 personally would not touch it. Worked at a Volvo dealer for 2 years and they are very complex. Though people have done mods: www.swedespeed.com/threads/fullscreen-carplay-module.652515/

My xc60 early 2020 model rain sensing automatic wipers work very slowly, does anyone know how to solve this issue? I end up changing to manual high speed
@@Allcarnews itt senses the rain but upon heavy rain the time between each wipe should be shorter therefore the screen is clean& visibility should improve, but even in heavy rain the wipers wipe slowly as in the time between every wipe is long.
@@RashidKhan123 My volvo doesent have auto wipers so not entirely sure. I would try turning the dial to the max speed setting even while in auto mode if possible and maybe that will fix it? Never heard of this issue
Unfortunately there is no Android Auto on new Volvo models because the standard infotainment is google based. Volvo recommends signing into google services on your vehicle if you have an android phone but unfortunately there is no whatsapp integration unless you use an iPhone with Apple carplay… yes i know it’s very silly
Wait so I telling me that Volvo is supporting Apple CarPlay only via cable ? Big red flag. On my opinion it’s not even worth it buying that car at that point.
I just bought 2024 xc60 and I asked same question to the dealer but in the end I bought the car anyway. Honestly, I don’t miss Apple CarPlay at all. Google system is awesome and maps . Also whenever I got a text msg, Volvo is displaying the txt from the screen.
@@Allcarnews Unfortunately the statement " has always worked" does not seem to be true. I have 2.0 firmware revision in XC60 Early 2022. USB port is disabled, so it is no way to connect anything.
@@ilejncs Interesting. Android auto always was included on the new google systems. I’m sure you are familiar with your volvo but did you plug it in the USB port with the white outline? That is the only one that works. There have been LOTS of bugs that have required a dealer to reset the software.
Hi bro you mentioned "turn vehicle off to save fuel" but playing with your electronics without your motor on is a great waay to kill your 12V battery, the amount of gas burned to power the alternator is practically nothing

Bro, it’s really dumb that much cheaper cars, like the Suzuki Swift, allow for wireless CarPlay. And Volvo’s don’t.
Its an apple issue. They're not working with Volvo.

@@zahidfarooq6208 that sounds like an issue. I would reach out to Volvo dealer
@ thanks mate. That’s what i was thinking. Definitely I’ll talk to the dealer. Thanks again
@ i owned a 2023 S90! Speaking from experience 😅
This is a great layout… Ford should take a queue because they have a gigantic tablet screen and CarPlay uses less than 50% of it.
Are you talking about the Mach-E with the floating knob?
@@chrisconover the Mach-E, the F-150, the Explorer, the Edge…
The ridiculous last minute added and not integrated tablet screen is a reason to avoid buying Mach-E. Big mistake from Ford.
does this work in FULL screen on a 2018 XC60?
No
Finally! I was super interested in this car but this was always holding me back. Thanks for sharing. In everyday use is the slow infotainment start up time annoying?
typically no! i just had the car in accessory start mode (not the engine on) which is why it was booting up.
No it's not, and it doesn't even take that long to load
Wired only? No wireless Carplay?
Unfortunately yes
Hi. It’s possible to use Apple Music and still use google navigation in the Volvo’s android?
I don’t know if you could do it through Volvo at the same time you can download google maps on your iPhone and it would use google maps that way
@@tylerbichsel8193 Will the google maps launched from Apple Car Play be displayed in the gauge cluster?
I have not tested that out yet! I’m going to say no but i’ll test it out
Just tested that. It works perfectly.
Finally. I am about to order a new XC90 T8 Recharge, and mainly use Waze as my goto navigation in my current car. can you please demonstrate how waze works on this screen, and how it looks?
Waze takes up the entire display! I will make a RUclips Short about it if you would like to see.
@@Allcarnews If it is not to much to ask, i defenetly would love to see it.
I just uploaded the video! Hope you find it helpful

Hello mate I have Volvo XC60 2020
I don’t have Car play , how will be install car play?
Do we know for which models this update came out? Im interested in a Volvo v60 from 2019
2019

Would this work on a 2021 XC60 t5 inscription?
you should already have apple carplay, but unfortunately you can’t get the full screen one
My 2018 T6 XC60 has CarPlay too - I’m confused
Ohh nvm I see it’s the full screen diffrence
@@Dooneyluva This has the new google infotainment system, it is a different system than the Sensus system.
Can you control Apple Music/Spotify in Apple CarPlay with the steering wheel and the knops? Or only via touch screen?
I've been able to control Apple Music/Spotify with the steering wheel buttons (play/pause/skip) There is also a button on the wheel that activates Siri. I'm on a 2016 XC90 Volvo so those features are still included in newer models.

That makes sense, thank you! Are there any aftermarket providers you would actually recommend? Or best to just leave it the way it is?

Do u need a USB to connect to carplay or is it Bluetooth or WiFi direct based?
USB only on all Volvos.
@Allcarnews oh that's real sad, I'm planning to buy xc60 but that's way technologywise backward innit :/
How comfortable are the seats in the xc60??
Super comfortable
Amazing even. Nicest seat I've sat in that I own. Even nicer than my 2000 dollar captain's chair in my semi.
I use sometimes and Really nice, but definitely not that comfortable like my Mercedes E 2011 seats. Maybe it’s not the best to compare to my Mercedes, but I use these 2 cars now :)
Does the 2020 version able to upgrade in this feature?
No. Only cars with the Google system can do this.
Can you upgrade to this system in 2018 CX90?
unfortunately not
@@Allcarnews thanks a lot
I installed this in my cx90 and works seamlessly.
@@PYurkevitch if I understand correctly you are able to use full screen apple carplay on a 2018 xc90? That would be really nice!
Do you know if you can get full screen on Android auto
There is no android auto as far as I'm concerned. Likely due to the newer infotainment already being google based.
我买的2018 Volvo S90,启动不了怎么办
Can you do the same with android auto? I think that only works with Carplay
Android auto is no longer available on new volvos
And? How it useful in compare to Android?
Seriously? Wired CarPlay in 2022??
I added WIRELESS CarPlay module to my XC60 2016 for 300 EUR and it works perfectly :)
And it's turning on literally like in 2 seconds (faster then main radio module).
nice!
How did you do it? And does it go full screen? Please advice as I wanna do the same
@@vityay17 может быть вы посоветуете, какая приставка подойдет к xc90 2016 года? спасибо
From what year is the full screen CarPlay available in XC-60?
Only on the new google based infotainment. I believe late 2022- present?
Is this available for the 2017-2018 models?
those should already have apple car play as they are the older sensus infotainment
@@Allcarnews i mean do they have also full screen apple car play?
@@melihors8127 Oh, unfortunately not
Will there be an update for CarPlay on a V60 09/2019?
not to get it like this no
@@Allcarnews sad
i have a xc60 early 2020 model, can my car be updated to support android auto and apple carplay?
With the google based system? yes. the sensus system should already have apple carplay
@@Allcarnews are you sure? Mine is early 2020 (march)
@@RashidKhan123 Is it the google based system or sensus?
@@Allcarnews sensus

Is the CarPlay free?
Yes
Do you eat a lot of donuts as you have dunkin donuts in your carplay? :D
just coffee haha
Might have been good to show us how the Waze and Spotify apps looked on there? Probably the two apps that are used the most when driving. 🤦🏻♂️
My new 2022 V90 has updated to 2.2 but the Apple CarPlay icon does not show up on the center console. What gives?
I would recommend contacting your dealer! It should be present with the update.
how can i read my whatsapp messages with an android phone? seems like i can only read SMS.

It is annoying

yes android auto has always worked on this! it was apple car play that was taking time on the new google based infotainment system.

This used a 12v battery and a 48v battery. It’s a mild hybrid. It’s designed to do this
@@Allcarnews i have a prius the high voltage battery does not help power your car electronics unless its in ignition on/ready mode. maybe for volvo its diferent

better than having an engine running in a closed garage
Hey! I have volvo s90 R design (2018 October ). Any chance for getting CarPlay?🫣 Thank you!
