Unsafe: Volvo forces to Accept Terms of Service, while driving, every time I drive, to listen to Spotify music | SwedeSpeed

Posted on March 12, 2025 By rehan.rafique No Comments on Unsafe: Volvo forces to Accept Terms of Service, while driving, every time I drive, to listen to Spotify music | SwedeSpeed

We love our XC90 but a software update recently has absolutely ruined the experience driving this car.

They just rolled out a software update that forces you to acknowledge their Terms of Service for Volvo apps every single time I drive the car.

This is ridiculously draconian and unsafe. Why can’t this be done ONCE like any other normal company. Has anyone found a solution to this? For anyone else having this issue, I suggest you call Volvo until they fix this:

Owner Support Telephone1-800-458-1552
Volvo subscription 1-800-550-5658

By the time Android Auto starts up and connects with Spottily, I’m already driving my car. Worse yet, it means I’m pulling out onto a road or out of a parking lot and then I’m presented with a screen that I need to approve their Terms of Service while I’m driving.

And then it takes me to another screen with a QR Code and ANOTHER button to press.

I would never have thought that a Swedish carmaker could come up with something so appallingly badly designed for useability and unsafe. Many of our drives are for short distances and we always use Spotify for music so now there’s no music until about a minute or two after we begin driving and then we have to accept these Terms of Service over ad over again.

If we stop at 4 places, that’s 4 separate times to accept their terms of service. How is this reasonable or safe?

I’ve heard people say you can uninstall and reinstall the Spotify music app and this has not worked.

Every. Single. Time. we drive the car we now need to wait two minutes for all the screen to load and they go through two separate screens to acknowledge their terms just to listen to music.

Spotify is not some random app for us. It is our music payer and how we listen to music in the car and we need it to turn on with the car and start playing music without nagging us to death.

For Volvo to come and cripple our music player in the car, it’s almost like we don’t own the car we bought.
