Getting started with the Volvo Cars app

The Volvo Cars app provides access to connected services and functions that make it possible to control your car remotely. If you are using the Volvo Cars app for the first time, there are some steps you need to take to get started. The steps vary depending on car model and model year, so be sure to read the section that applies to your car.

Downloading the Volvo Cars app

The Volvo Cars app is available for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch as well as Android phones. You can download it for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play. The app is updated regularly, so make sure that you have the latest version on your phone.

 Note

Make sure that you have downloaded the Volvo Cars app. The Volvo EX30 app can only be paired with Volvo EX30 cars.

Volvo ID

You will need a Volvo ID to log in to the Volvo Cars app. If you don't already have one, open the Volvo Cars app and select the option to create a new Volvo ID or go to volvoid.eu.volvocars.com/Account/ and follow the instructions.

For security reasons, two-factor authentication will be implemented later this year. This means that when you sign in, you will also need to enter a code that is sent to you via SMS1 or e-mail.

Pairing the Volvo Cars app with your car

Before you can start using remote Volvo Cars app functions, such as lock status and climate features, you need to pair the app with your car.
