The 2017 Volvo XC60 did not originally include the Apple CarPlay feature, but it was introduced in the following 2018 model. During the same year, Apple CarPlay was also integrated into other Volvo models like the S60. Many automakers are embracing digital online streaming services for their entertainment systems, leading to the phasing out of the once-popular CD player in vehicles. This change mirrors the shift away from purchasing music on CDs, as people now consume music primarily in their cars rather than in other settings.

I was informed by a UK Volvo dealer that a 2017 XC60 Momentum Pro with a 67 plate (which was registered in November 2017 but is a 2018 model) can receive a software upgrade for Apple Car Play for £300. I'm wondering if anyone can verify this. The specific car I'm interested in features a new portrait center screen but lacks a full virtual cockpit screen behind the steering wheel. It seems to only have a central digital speedometer with an up and down rev counter on the side (not another dial like the full virtual cockpit screen). The display also shows other information such as the fuel gauge and temperature at the edges, but reportedly does not offer a navigation option on the cockpit screen.
