Bluetooth streaming audio (BT)

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
Any Bluetooth media players used must
support Audio/Video Remote Control Profile
(AVRCP) and Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile (A2DP). The player must use
AVRCP version 1.3 and A2DP 1.2. If older
versions of these standards are used, certain
features (e.g., scan or random) may not
function.
Not all cell phones or media players are fully
compatible with the vehicle's Bluetooth system.
A list of compatible devices is available at you Volvo retailer or at www.volvocars.us.
