Software updates over-the-air (OTA)
Updating your vehicle's software over-the-air (OTA) gives you access to upcoming functions and improvements without having to visit a workshop.
Problems with the wireless phone charger
If you are experiencing issues with the wireless phone charger, there are some things you can try.
Security patch in the center display
You may notice a yellow or red icon under System in the center display, as in the image below. The icon color depends on which software version is installed in the car. The icon appears when the Android system security patch level has passed the permitted number of days.

The vehicle needs to be connected to the Internet through its built-in SIM card while an over-the-air (OTA) software update is downloading.
Downloading and installing OTA software updates
All over-the air (OTA) software updates consist of two phases: a downloading phase and an installation phase.
OTA software versions
Over-the-air (OTA) software updates are released on a regular basis. Information about the updates are available on the support site, in the vehicle's center display and in the Volvo Cars app.
