System updates
System updates are handled via the Remote update service app in the centre display's application view. A tap on the button starts a download application in the home view's bottom subview. If no search for available updates has been performed since the last time the infotainment system was started, a search is performed. No search is performed if a software installation is in progress. An icon in the download application's button System updates shows how many updates are available. A tap on the button shows a list of updates that can be installed in the car. For more information and answers to common questions regarding function and to download certain system updates, go in to support.volvocars.com.
