Bluetooth streaming audio (BT)  - Auxiliary equipment - Audio - Volvo XC90 Owners Manual - Volvo XC90

The vehicle's audio system is equipped with Bluetooth , which makes it possible to play streaming audio files from a Bluetooth device such as a cell phone or personal digital assistant (PDA). Navigation and control of the device can be done through the vehicle's center console control panel or the steering wheel keypad.

On certain external devices, it is also possible to change tracks from the device itself.

In order to listen streaming audio, BT must be selected as a sound source  and a Bluetooth device must be connected (paired) with the audio system.

NOTE
