Factory build called Smartphone Integration

Both cost £300, so here is my question.......

Volvo Head Office informed initially that there is a difference and if i knew i wanted it, order as part of the build as its a different setup/hardware from factory build. Where as the dealer supplied is literally just software.

I called Volvo again to try and understand the difference and told there was not any.

So over to the knowledgeable crew on here...... Any clarity

I don't think there will be a difference until Volvo launches the Wifidirect version from what I have read. So with Wifidirect it will need newer hardware in the head unit but no need to plug the phone into a cable / usb port.

You may want to check with Volvo Head Office on timescales for this...
