Volvo Car Connect Plus
Connect Plus lets you use your cars built-in internet connection to run Google services and related apps that are integrated into your car.
When you buy a new Volvo, you'll receive a complimentary 4 year period of Connect Plus¹. After this complimentary period, you'll need to purchase a subscription to use your car's built-in internet connection to run the Google services and related apps with unlimited data².
Note
If you don't purchase a Connect Plus subscription, the Google services and apps will remain downloaded. Unless you connect your car to the internet using an alternative method, such as phone tethering, these apps and services can only be used in offline mode. This means they will have limited functionality.
Cars from model year 2022 and later with built-in Google services will need to purchase an extension of Connect Plus after this period.
Cars of model year 2021 with built-in Google services do not need to purchase a Connect Plus extension. They can continue to use the cars in-built internet connection as long as it is offered by Volvo Cars and the car's technology and connectivity support the use of the services.
