Hi, very useful tips thank you. I've had a 2020 XC40 from new and have a very frustrating issue, not sure if you've seen this: If I turn the engine off with the phone attached after playing any audio though carplay (which I do a lot) the next time I start the car, it loads FM radio. If I use the broadcast radio it's always DAB, never FM so why is it defaulting to FM? And do you know of a fix? Cheers
Newer volvo with usb c connections have been reported to work with apple cables or apple approved cables. Very strange as the older versions with usb a slots didn't have this problem
On my 2018 s90 the screens the same as yours but does not have the outlined usb box in middle compartment. So wont work as i rang volvo they said ure car being the momentum pro does not have this facility and front camera facility on vehicle.
I have had a 2024/25 XC40 for a few days and I am supposed to be able to download Waze and Spotify via the Google Play Store. I have an internet connection but it just shows as pending the whole time. Any ideas? TIA.
@@carcodesecure thanks, I have it connected by a lighting cable. The phone works, Spotify etc but the apple play screen isn’t visible, or the tab to open it on the car media screen
Is it possible to get google Maps shown on the virtual cockpit via Apple CarPlay? Instead of the standard Volvo navigation (volvo s60 2020)
Were you able to figure it out ?
that's what I would like to know as well

Hi, I also have this issue with my volvo it is frustrating. I haven't found a way to fix this unfortunately.
My new volvo only works with CarPlay after I had to purchase an original Apple USB C to lightning connector. None of my other cables worked with it.

A volvo this new will have the AOS which works completely different to this in the video.
Anyway to enable the full screen?
Volvo don't offer this feature. You have to buy aftermarket unit to enable full screen
When I plug my phone in like you say, nothing happens. Car play is greyed out on the app screen in the Volvo. Help.
How can we enable voice command?
@@carcodesecurehave you got any aftermarket products you recommend for the full screen?
@@carcodesecurewhich aftermarket unit?
I just can’t get Apple car to work! My phone is connected by Bluetooth but no Apple play screen?
Once it's connected via usb swipe your screen to the right and check options
@@carcodesecure ok. I’m going out now to see what happens
I just can’t get Apple car to work! My phone is connected by Bluetooth but no Apple play screen? There isn’t a button to activate it
Hey apple carplay is via cable only
@@carcodesecure thanks, I have it connected by a lighting cable. The phone works, Spotify etc but the apple play screen isn’t visible, or the tab to open it on the car media screen
If you have an android phone unlucky
no wireless apple CarPlay? Wtf? Definitely not buying a Volvo. For that price and no basic feature?
It is a bit weird. Every crappy rental car has wireless apple.
Wireless carplau being rolled out on newer cars whereas on first gen carplay cars all cars were wired except bmw
We just purchased a 2025. Hopefully this is software upgradable at some point. Thanks for a useful video.
Just bought a 2021 Volvo V60 and I can’t find Apple car play on it anywhere 🫤
Looks like it's not activated. Contact your local volvo dealer
@@carcodesecure I will do
