Streaming audio
IntroductionThe vehicle's media player is equipped with
BluetoothŸ and can play streaming audio files
from a BluetoothŸ device such as a cell phone
or personal digital assistant (PDA). Navigation
and control of the device can be done through
the vehicle's center console control panel or
the steering wheel keypad. On certain external
devices, it is also possible to change tracks
from the device.
In order to listen streaming audio, the vehicle's

steering wheel keypad. See page 256 for addi-
tional information about navigating the various
menus.
NOTE
Any Bluetooth media players used must
support Audio/Video Remote Control Pro-
file (AVRCP) and Advanced Audio Distribu-
tion Profile (A2DP). The player must use
AVRCP version 1.3 and A2DP 1.2. If older
versions of these standards are used, cer-
tain features (e.g., scan or random) may not
function.
Not all cell phones or media players are fully
compatible with the vehicle's Bluetooth sys-
tem. A list of compatible devices is available
at you Volvo retailer or at www.volvo-
cars.us.
The vehicle's media player can only play audio
files through the BluetoothŸ function.

Introduction
The RSE system provides entertainment for the
rear seat passengers by making it possible to
e.g., watch a film, play music, listen to the radio
or connect an external device such as a game
console.
RSE is fully integrated into the vehicle's info-
tainment system and can be used at the same
time as other infotainment features.
For example, if a rear seat passenger is using
A/V-AUX and headphones, the driver and front
seat passenger can still use the vehicle's radio
or media player. However, only one disc can be
played in the media player at a time. You canlisten to music from e.g., an iPod
Ÿ or from
streaming audio files using the BluetoothŸ
function.
The RSE system can be controlled from the
front screen (parental control).
Different media can be played or viewed from
different sources on the various screens (front
center console and/or the respective screens
in the rear seat). It is also possible to play or
view media from the same source on one or
more of the screens. However, it is not possible
to play a film from USB while a CD or DVD is
being played.
