Internet connection

Connecting your car to the internet gives you access to more features and over-the-air software updates.
There are a few ways to connect your car to the internet. When the car can access the internet in more than one way, it prioritises them in the following order:
  • Wi-Fi network
  • Mobile network

Wi-Fi

You can connect the car to a Wi-Fi network for internet access. The car can automatically connect to the network whenever it's within range.

Mobile network

Your car has a built-in modem for connecting to a mobile network. As long as the car has an active mobile network service plan and it's in an area with network reception, it can connect to the internet. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop for information about mobile connectivity services for your car.

The car supports mobile networks up to, and including, 5G. The available mobile network speeds depend on the SIM card installed in your car.

 Note

Mobile network connectivity conditions and limitations

  • The car needs to be in an area with mobile network reception.
  • Mobile connectivity services must be active for the region in which the car is located.
  • Obstacles such as buildings, hills and mountains can weaken or block the mobile network signal.
