Digital key for EX30

The EX30 is prepared for the digital key technology and the functionality will be delivered later via over-the-air (OTA) software updates. The digital key will allow you to lock, unlock and drive your car via your iPhone or compatible Android device. Other future smart services will also be included, such as inviting friends and family to use your car by sharing a digital key. Until the digital key functionality is available, you will be able to use other keys.

Setting up your EX30

To get the most out of your car from the beginning, it’s a good idea to prepare some things in the Volvo EX30 app before you get your car. The app will guide you through a few steps to set up your car. This includes logging in to the app, activating automatic software downloads and setting up mobile internet in the car. You will be able to do more in the app later.

Internet connection for OTA software downloads

The car needs to be connected to the internet through its built-in SIM card while an over-the-air (OTA) software update is downloading.

Downloading and installing OTA software updates

All over-the air (OTA) software updates consist of two phases: a downloading phase and an installation phase.

OTA software versions

Over-the-air (OTA) software updates are released on a regular basis. Information about the updates are available on the support site, in the car's centre display and in the Volvo Cars app.

Software updates over-the-air (OTA)

Updating your car's software over-the-air (OTA) gives you access to upcoming functions and improvements without having to visit a workshop.

Problems with the wireless phone charger

If you are experiencing issues with the wireless phone charger, there are some things you can try.

Security patch in the centre display

You may notice a yellow or red icon under System in the centre display, as in the image below. The icon colour depends on which software version is installed in the car. The icon appears when the Android system security patch level has passed the permitted number of days.
