Streaming audio via Bluetooth

General

If the car is equipped with Bluetooth

hands-

free* and a mobile phone is connected then the
audio system can wirelessly play back stream-
ing audio files from the mobile phone. Naviga-
tion and control of the sound can be carried out
via the centre console buttons or via the steer-
ing wheel keypad*. In some mobile phones it is
also possible to change tracks from the phone.

To be able to play back the audio a device must
first be paired and connected to the car. For
information about pairing and connection, see
page 272. BT must also be selected as audio
source, see page 248.

NOTE

The Bluetooth

mobile phone must support

the Audio/Video Remote Control Profile
(AVRCP) and Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile (A2DP). The phone should use
AVRCP version 1.3, A2DP 1.2. Otherwise
some functions may not work.

NOTE

Not all mobile phones available in the mar-
ket are fully compatible with the
Bluetooth

function in the car's audio sys-

tem. Volvo recommends that you contact an
authorised Volvo dealer or visit
www.volvocars.com for information on
compatible phones and external media
players.

RDS functions

Radio Data System - RDS links FM transmitters
into a network. An FM transmitter in such a
network sends information that gives an
RDS radio the following functions:

•

Automatically switches to a stronger trans-
mitter if reception in the area is poor.

•

Searches for programme form, such as
traffic information or news.

•

Receives text information on current radio
programme.

Some radio stations do not use RDS or only
some if its functionality.

Programme functions

In FM mode, the radio can search for stations
with certain programme types. If a required
programme type is located the radio can
switch stations interrupting the audio source
currently in use. For example, if the CD player
is in use, it is paused. The interrupting trans-
mission is played at a preset audio volume, see
page 257. The radio returns to the previous
audio source and audio volume when the set
programme type is no longer broadcast.
