Volvo rolls out new over-the-air software update

Volvo has launched a new over-the-air software update, designed to make the infotainment system of its cars even better for Apple CarPlay users.

This latest software update will make Apple Maps and other supported navigation apps available in the driver display behind the steering wheel. Mirroring the latest over-the-air update to Polestar's cars, the driver display of your Volvo is also now able to present call information, and drivers can answer, reject, and end calls using the buttons on the steering wheel.

The CarPlay tile in the centre display now also features media information, making it easier for you to play, pause, and skip between songs. Drivers will also now be able to switch between driver support functions using the steering wheel buttons and choose whether the wing mirrors should fold or not when locking the car with this latest update.

Volvo states that its previous update has brought the total number of delivered over-the-air updates over the one million mark, and it expects this update alone to be sent out to a record high number of over 650,000 Volvo cars.
