Smart Phone Integration - XC90 Inscription Pro
I am considering ordering a new XC90 T6 Inscription Pro with bog standard audio.
On the 'Build your Volvo' web site at https://www.volvocars.com/uk/car-con...acks?s=B23RE75 I don't see any Smart Phone Integration mentioned as being included, that is unless I actually upgrade the audio to either the Bowers and Wilkins or Harman Kardon sound systems. A spec' for the regular audio doesn't seem to be mentioned. Have I got the inference correct in that with this, there is no smart phone integration? Last edited by Begonia; Aug 18th, 2019 at 11:38. |

If you want Android auto/Apple carplay it cost £300, I think this is a rip off but others are happy to pay for it. Again it works with standard audio system.

The only other thing I would add to nu11eaf's comprehensive post is that without smartphone integration, the car will not deal with WhatsApp etc messages, only text messages.
I have smartphone integration and use WhatsApp most of the time over texting, so this is a major benefit.

Can you tell me how I reply to a text by voice control? Mine just says it's not available. It will read texts but not allow me to send any.

Depends on your phone as to whether it is available.

For that reason and the fact i have Amazon Music i decided to pay the £300. Also i like google's maps to any other system I've seen on cars. I like the satellite feature that displays actual buildings etc especially in areas that i have never been before. I've not got the car yet so cant give you any more information. However i have heard that Volvos will soon be moving to Android AU which will make Android Auto obsolete, which makes me think.......... is that then a waste of £300. |
