Cars equipped with Sensus Connect have access to a number of apps. The Storytel app allows you to listen to audiobooks in your Volvo while you drive.
Storytel is a digital subscription service which streams audiobooks via an app in your Volvo or on your mobile phone.
You can also download audiobooks to your mobile phone so that you can listen to them in offline mode (not possible in the car).
To use the Storytel app, you need a subscription and an account. For instructions on how to create an account, enter your e-mail address in the Storytel app in your car and follow the instructions sent to you.
You can try the service without creating a subscription. Register your e-mail address and access all audiobooks in the catalogue for 30 days. Your Storytel trial will only work in the car and not on your mobile phone.
See the table below for specifications on how much bandwidth your mobile phone uses when using Storytel.

If Storytel does not work, make sure you have an Internet connection and a good signal strength. For information on how to set the Internet connection in your Volvo, see Connect to the Internet via a personal SIM card (Volvo On Call), Connect to the Internet via mobile phone (Bluetooth) or Connect to the Internet via mobile phone (Wi-Fi).
Available selection of apps is dependent on the market and on whether the services are supported by Volvo's third party suppliers. One or more apps may not be available on the market in which the car is sold or used.
