Volvo XC90 Teams up with Apple at Maxwell Volvo



The Volvo XC90 SUV will be making its way to Maxwell Volvo in North Carolina later this year.  The Volvo XC90 will feature Apple’s new iPhone-based in-car technology called, Apple CarPlay.

Volvo is one of six automakers that will offer Apple’s CarPlay. Among these automakers include Ferrari, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo.

Apple’s CarPlay will bring features similar to the iPad, iPhone or iPod into the center console touch screen display of the Volvo XC90. The Apple features and services will be able to be accessed through voice and steering wheel controls.

Basic iPhone applications such as phone, messages, music and navigation will be just a few of the technologies offered with Apple’s CarPlay.  Additionally, popular music streaming services like Spotify will be easily accessible right in the center console!

No need to worry about switching between the Volvo automotive content screen and iPhone screen, with CarPlay both can be displayed simultaneously.
