port Audio/Video Remote Control Profile
(AVRCP) and Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile (A2DP). The phone must use AVRCP
version 1.3 and A2DP 1.2. If older versions
of these standards are used, certain fea-
tures (e.g., scan or random) may not func-
tion.
Not all cell phones are fully compatible with
the vehicle's Bluetooth system. A list of
compatible phones is available at you Volvo
retailer or at www.volvocars.us.
