Getting started with Spotify with Sensus Connect

Note

Volvo does not save information that is used in the Spotify app with the exception of locally stored data that is necessary for the app to work. Your password is never stored and if you have signed out of the app, you must provide both username and password to log back in again.

Delete user details

To delete user details, log out of the Spotify app via the settings menu. The user details are also deleted at a factory reset of the center display.
