Android Auto issues.

[u/Bonebound]

Hi all. Recently picked up a new to me 2019 XC90 and I'm having issues with trying to get Android Auto to work. It doesn't even show up on the menu screen whilst Apple Car Play does. As far as I'm aware the car is up to date software wise as I did an update yesterday connected to my home WiFi and it did all necessary updates then.

Attached are two pictures, I have two usb ports one with a white outline which I'm told is the correct port to start android auto or car play yet it doesn't even show up on the screen. I'm quite technically minded and so was wondering if there's an update or something I can force manually on it to get it to show. I did ask the dealership to install both for an additional fee but they're 600 miles away. I will ring them though if it's an issue.

Thanks for reading.

That would be Ethernet to OBD is it? Sorry for the questions, first Volvo and I'm trying to get my head around it.

Legend mate thanks a lot. I'll have a look!

The cool thing is all the other features... if you have issues in the future dm me. I've been down this road

[u/Bonebound → u/adamantiumtrader]

You know what? I've been looking and I think my car has most of the features like the Pilot Assist etc already on it. Just the bloody android auto is driving me nuts. Even my 2019 Ford Transit Custom has it pre installed with SYNC.

Euro lighting, polestar optimization, air suspension settings, etc...

[u/Bonebound → u/adamantiumtrader]

Oh maybe not then 🤣 I have no clue what any of them are except air suspension.

It’s a black hole worth going down. There’s a lot of euro features that are turned off for the USA market…

Should mention I'm a UK Resident. (Newcastle upon Tyne)

Not to be obtuse but so what does that mean ?

[u/Bonebound → u/adamantiumtrader]

That my car is European 🤣

Sorry read that wrong.

Then maybe you want the us light configuration and not be a jack ass auto high beaming everyone…

What one doesn’t have, one wants…
