Volvo Drivers Can Use Spotify Connect For In-Car Music Streams

The Spotify Connect option has come as something of a godsend to music lovers who also enjoy connected technology, but things have officially gone next-level with Volvo revealing that all its new cars will allow drivers to use Spotify Connect to stream music in the vehicle.

What's unique about the Volvo-Spotify Connect tie-up is that it allows for integrated access to Spotify streaming, meaning drivers don't need to use their smartphones to control their musical streaming. Users have to be signed up to a Spotify Premium account, and new users can enjoy the service for free for 30 days.

Ultimately, the use of Spotify Connect to stream music in Volvo cars is part of a push to make connected technology more integrated without always having to depend on one's smartphone.
