Factory radio guide
Volvo factory radios: which one do you have?
Volvo used several different radios between 2010 and 2018, and our CarPlay and Android Auto kits fit only one of them: Sensus Connect. The fastest check is the buttons on your centre stack. A NAV button plus a button with a globe symbol means you have Sensus Connect.

CarPlay kit available
2015-2018
Sensus Connect 7-inch
Volvo Sensus Connect, 7-inch dashboard screen with NAV and globe (internet) buttons
How to tell
- A 7-inch colour screen high in the middle of the dash. It doesn't respond to touch: you use the knob and buttons on the centre stack and steering wheel.
- A NAV button and a button with a globe symbol on the centre stack.
- Pressing the globe button opens internet apps such as music streaming, parking or local search.
- Model year 2015 or newer on an S60, V60, XC60, S80 or XC70.
CarPlay and Android Auto for this radio
With both NAV and globe buttons, either the ZZ-2 IT3-VOLVO or the GROM VOLSCVL2 fits. With a globe button but no NAV button, choose the GROM VOLSCVL2, which is also the one for the XC70. Because the screen isn't touch, you run CarPlay with the knob and buttons, and both kits add front and rear camera inputs.

No plug-in kit
2011-2014
Sensus (2011-2014)

How to tell
- The same dashboard screen and centre stack layout as Sensus Connect.
- No globe button on the centre stack.
- Model year 2014 or older.
CarPlay and Android Auto for this radio
The ZZ-2 IT3-VOLVO and GROM VOLSCVL2 don't fit this system. Call us before you buy anything and we'll check what's possible for your car.

No plug-in kit
2010-2018 (lower trims)
Performance or High Performance audio
Volvo base Performance or High Performance audio, without Sensus Connect
How to tell
- A smaller screen on the dash, about 5 inches, or a simpler radio display.
- No NAV button and no globe button on the centre stack.
- The audio name, Performance or High Performance, may be printed on the radio panel.
Quick check on the screen
Your original window sticker or build sheet may list the audio system as Performance or High Performance.
CarPlay and Android Auto for this radio
The ZZ-2 IT3-VOLVO and GROM VOLSCVL2 don't fit, because both need Sensus Connect with the globe button. Call us if you'd like to talk through your options.
-
CarPlay usually built in
2016 and newer
9-inch portrait touchscreen
Volvo Sensus 9-inch upright touchscreen, the tablet-style display in newer Volvos
How to tell
- A tall 9-inch touchscreen standing upright in the middle of the dash, like a tablet.
- Almost no buttons: a Home button below the screen and a volume knob.
- You swipe left and right to reach more screens.
Quick check on the screen
Plug your phone in with a USB cable. If Apple CarPlay starts, or you see it among the apps, your car already has it.
CarPlay and Android Auto for this radio
Check first: most of these cars support Apple CarPlay from the factory, and Android Auto was added later. If yours doesn't have it, that's usually a Volvo option or software question for a dealer, and the kits we carry don't fit these cars.
Still not sure which radio you have?
Text us a photo of your screen and the buttons around it, or send your VIN, and we'll tell you which kit fits.
