Data transfer between vehicle and workshop over Wi-Fi

Updated 2020-03-19

Volvo workshops have a designated Wi-Fi network for secure data transfer between your vehicle and the workshop. Your visit to the workshop will be easier and more effective when diagnostics information and software can be transferred over the workshop's network.

When you arrive at the workshop, your service technician can connect your vehicle to the workshop's Wi-Fi network to perform troubleshooting and download software. For this type of communication, the vehicle only connects to a workshop's network. It is not possible to connect the vehicle to another Wi-Fi network (e.g. your home network) in the same way as to a workshop's network.

Connecting with remote key

Connection is usually managed by the service technician, who will use the remote key buttons. It is therefore important to bring a key with buttons with you when you visit the workshop. Pressing the lock button on the remote key three times will connect the vehicle to the workshop's Wi-Fi network.

When the car is connected to a Wi-Fi network, the P5–1507–Symbol in status bar–Wi-Fi connected symbol appears in the center display.

Warning

The vehicle may not be driven when it is connected to the workshop's networks and systems.
