Remote Controls
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2014 Volvo XC90, 2013 Volvo XC90, 2012 Volvo XC90, 2011 Volvo XC90, and 2010 Volvo XC90. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
There are two different remote controls for the infotainment system. One is used for audio, radio and TV remote control. The other is used for remote control of the navigation system.
The remote controls can be used to activate most of the functions which can be controlled via the keypad units on the infotainment control module (ICM) and via the buttons on the steering wheel.
The remote controls transmit infrared signals to the receiver unit which is in the left-hand keypad on the infotainment control module (ICM). The signals then go via the directly connected cable to the printed circuit board which controls the selected function.
