Volvo has added Android Auto smartphone integration to its 90 series models.

Android Auto integration is now available in all S90, V90, V90 Cross Country and XC90 models.

Available now on all S90, V90, V90 Cross Country and XC90 models, the technology is now available as part of a new Smartphone Integration package that also includes Apple CarPlay.

The technology enables users of Android smartphones to connect their device directly to the Volvo Sensus media system, making a wide range of Android-optimised apps – including Google Maps and Google Play Music – available directly via the car’s touch screen. Users can also make and receive calls, and send and receive text messages using Android Auto or via the car or phone’s voice control system.

Jon Wakefield, managing director of Volvo Car UK, said: “It’s more important than ever for our customers to stay connected while on the move. Our Apple CarPlay integration was already the best in the business, and the introduction of Android Auto brings our class-leading smartphone integration to a whole new audience.”
