Unfortunately, Android Auto is not available on 2016 Volvo XC90 models without additional hardware upgrades. Here are the key points about Android Auto compatibility for the 2016 XC90: 1. The 2016 XC90 was not originally equipped with Android Auto capability. 2. 2016 XC90 models only have a single USB port, while Android Auto requires the dual USB port setup with a white-bordered port. 3. To add Android Auto functionality, you would need to: - Install a new dual USB port module to replace the single USB port - Have the dealer install necessary software updates - The full upgrade can cost around $1300 at the dealer 4. Some owners have attempted DIY installations of the dual USB port kit, which involves: - Purchasing the dual USB port kit (part #32204786)[4] - Installing a new cable harness[4] - Removing interior trim pieces and the passenger seat for access[1][4] - Potentially requiring software updates after installation 5. For 2017 and newer XC90 models, Android Auto comes pre-installed or can be easily activated[1][2]. If you want to add Android Auto to a 2016 XC90, the most reliable option is to have the dealer perform the full hardware and software upgrade. However, this can be expensive. Some owners have opted to use smartphone mounts and their phone's native apps as a workaround instead of upgrading. I hope this helps.

@@njvolvo mega thankx !

same!!

Same problem have you found any thing regardless at least car play ?

@@SHIRO-lu2ex yes. At least in Sweden you have to contact Volvo certified service, and ask if your car model has a possibility of installing/activating CarPlay. It cost around 300$. It seems my car can also be retrofitted with a dynamic display 12” (1000$), navigation (700$), and CarPlay / Android thing (300-500$).

@@SHIRO-lu2ex yes, it’s an additional software update that needs to be installed

Thanks for the questions. Downloading and installing OTA software updates All over-the air (OTA) software updates consist of two phases: a downloading phase and an installation phase. This article is applicable to models with Google built-in.

You can enable automatic software downloads in the center display. Go to iCup-2037-Settings symbol > System > Software update. Enable Automatic software download. If you don't want to enable automatic software downloads, a notification is shown every time you enter your vehicle asking if the software can be downloaded. Installing OTA updates When the software has downloaded, you will receive a notification in the vehicle's center display along with instructions on how to proceed.

@@ohandanotheronebitesthedus6247what happened use to be one of the reliable ones smh

Well it still helped

I was wondering the same thing? Did you find out

The full screen for Apple Car Play is not available on the 2020 model. The 2023 model has a google based syatem and can do full apple carpay diplay.

I did too! I was showing a friend what he doesn’t have in his fiesta as a joke and found that 😂

Yes but like all leather cleaners you should try it on a small spot spot before all seats.

Volvo Cars is technically owned by a Chinese company, but it operates as a separate entity. The owner of Volvo Cars is the Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, which also owns other car brands such as Lotus, Polestar, and Lynk & Co⁵⁷. However, Volvo Cars has recently signed an agreement with Geely to acquire its stake in the joint ventures in China, with the aim of taking full control of its manufacturing and sales operations in the country⁴. This would make Volvo Cars the first major non-Chinese automaker with full ownership of its Chinese operations⁴. Volvo Cars has been growing rapidly in the Chinese market, which is its largest and one of the fastest growing regions globally⁴..

You're welcome 😊

The test is same just in different facilities.

Thanks for the comment.

The power tailgate is an option and you Volvo may not have that feature. You can send me an email to [email protected] with your vin and I should be able to get a copy of the window sticker to confirm what factory features you have.

@@njvolvo Thank you! I will send you my VIN number soon
