About this app

Volvo Media Server makes it possible to watch movies, pictures or to listen to music during the ride.
The media you want to use should be stored on a USB-memory-device, the USB-memory is then connected to the Media Server in the trunk.
The Media Server is compatible with all the common file formats.

Connect Android devices as smartphones and/or tablets via WiFi to the Media Server.
The users in the vehicle can stream the media-files separately (different files to different devices) or synchronized (Same files to different devices, with lip-sync).

By connecting a Garmin Virb action camera to the Media Server, this function gives you the possibility to monitor the children in the rear seat, the dog-cage or the horse-trailer.

With the option Digital-TV it is possible to watch digital-TV on your smartphones and/or tablets during the ride (this function is limited to some countries).

The media server can handle a maximum of six different smartphones/tablets in parallel via WiFi.


Requirements on nomadic smartphones/tablets:
- Android version 5.0 or later.
- Some smartphones/pads can have issues with the media server compatibility even if the software status is as required. The reason can be caused by media server incompatible hardware or system solutions.

Ratings and reviews

A direct reflection on your COMPANY NAME disappointing!!! The day and age we are living in you should be partner with cloud storage companies like Google; iCloud; OneDrive and Box. Nobody keeps videos on their phone anymore, It takes up too much storage. It is not clear of how this application supposed to work You say turn on WI fi but do you mean mobile hotspot on the vehicle it makes no sense with your asking for.

Upon installation and initial use as demo car by the distributor, someone has been so smart to change the password and not write it down. Try to get some support from Volvo to get a password reset... Not...

Pixel 3. App never stops loading. Doesn't work.
