Digital services

The digital services include in-car connectivity to Google services and other Google apps built into your car.

When you buy a new car, you'll receive a complimentary 4- or 5-year period of digital services1. After this complimentary period, you'll need to purchase an extension of the service to keep the in-car connectivity to the Google apps and services.

 Note

You can use your phone’s tethering feature to share its internet connection with the car.

You’ll be contacted before the complimentary period ends with the option to extend your digital services, when available. Until then, no action is required and your services will remain free of charge.

 Note

The complimentary periods will begin to expire in 2025, depending on the date of your first registration. Only owners of cars with Google built-in from model year 2022 and later need to buy an extension of the service after this period.

Cars with Google built-in of model year 2021 will keep these services without needing an extension, as long as long as they are offered by Volvo Cars and supported by the car's technology and network capabilities. Volvo Cars reserves the right to reduce functionality when it is no longer practically possible to maintain full functionality.
