Stream more in a Volvo car with Prime Video and YouTube

GOTHENBURG: Volvo Cars is introducing Prime Video to Google Play for download in all markets where Google apps and services are available.

Volvo is among the first car makers to offer Prime Video in its cars.

YouTube is also coming soon to Volvo cars with Google built-in.

The service will become available as a pre-installed app starting from Sept 18, with a gradual rollout via over-the-air update (OTA), market by market.

“Adding access to services such as Prime Video and YouTube in our cars bolsters the continuously growing list of software and applications to make lives for our drivers better,” said Volvo global head of new car programmes Erik Severinson.

“We are delivering on our promise of building cars that grow with our customers over time.”

For safety reasons, access to video streaming will be available only when the car is fully stationary.

Prime Video and YouTube will be available in Volvo cars with Google built-in globally except China, South Korea and Vietnam.
