If you have paired the app with more than one car and want to switch between them, see the following section for more information:

Pairing the Volvo Cars app with the car
Before pairing the Volvo Cars app with the car, your Volvo ID needs to be connected to the owner profile. This will be done by Volvo Cars when you buy or lease a car directly from them. If you buy the car from a retailer, they should help you set this up. If you're not connected to the car through a Volvo Cars ordering process or via a retailer, you need to connect your Volvo ID to the owner profile yourself.
Make sure to follow the instructions that apply to your situation.
- You'll first be asked to register as the car's owner (this may not necessarily refer to the legal owner).
- Next, you'll be asked to log in with your Volvo ID. This will connect your Volvo ID to the profile.

Performing a factory reset of a pre-owned car
If the previous owner of your car hasn't removed their profiles and connected phones, a factory reset of the car is needed. You can do this yourself via the car's centre display, but it is recommended to ask the previous owner to remove the car in the Volvo Cars app.
- See Performing a factory reset of a pre-owned car for more information.
Pairing the Volvo Cars app
The process may vary depending on whether or not you have paired the app with the car before. Make sure to follow the instructions that apply to your situation.
- If you have not paired the app to other cars before, press Add your car on the welcome screen.
- If you've already paired the app to other cars, go to the profile tab > Your cars > Add car.
- Admin users: If you want to connect as an admin, sit in the driver's seat with all the car keys. This is necessary to set up the admin profile.
- Other users: If you want to connect as an additional driver, sit in the car with one car key.
Enabling data sharing for the Volvo Cars app
Data sharing for the Volvo Cars app needs to be enabled in order for the app to access data from the car. This is needed for functions such as climate and lock/unlock doors.
