Volvo Cars Media Server

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.

This release brings support for Android 7+ as well as bug fixes and stability enhancements.
