Default S90 momentum plus AA

Hi, just recently collected my s90 at the start of march (2020 reg).

I was wondering, do all these cars come with android auto and apple car play or is it an optional extra. I can't seem to find the option within the car screen.

It's an option which can be retrofitted if not originally specified.

Apple Play and Android Auto are part of Smartphone Integration and it isn't standard on the S90.

It can be obtained as part of the Harmon Kardon sound system option or as a separate option.

Cost as a separate option is £300 if specified when the car is built - not sure of the cost of a retrofit - time for a conversation with your dealer I think.

Its £350 for it to be retrofitted, or at least that's the list price for it.

I had it added to mine early last year, and i dont think the cost has changed since.

What are the benefits to having it installed?

So you can use Apple Car Play and Android Auto?

I have the Android Auto support in my V90, but I never use it. It integrates in a rather clumsy way on the centre console screen, so I just found it rather annoying. I would recommend seeing it in action before paying 350 pounds to add it to your car.

I was offered this option by my dealer as a retro fit when I was enquiring about something else and rejected it as it sounded rather expensive for not a lot of benefit. I think that was a wise choice.

I have it and think that it's worthwhile. BBC Sounds, podcast, audiobooks, and Spotify are all much easier from Android Auto.

Google Maps and Waze can often do a better job of bypassing traffic jams too.

You can get the same experience with a phone mount, but Android Auto is so much easier.
