  • Volvo S80
  • Volvo S60
  • Volvo V70
  • Volvo XC70

    These Volvo vehicles come with factory-equipped radios that are SIRIUS-ready, and display artist, song title and category when playing SIRIUS. To facilitate dealer installations, Volvo also offers a pre-wire solution as a factory installed option. To obtain SIRIUS service, the dealer must install a SIRIUS receiver and antenna. Pricing is available at local Volvo dealerships.

    When customers purchase the Volvo SIRIUS Satellite Radio kit, have it installed, and pre-pay $142.45 for 11-months of service at $12.95 per month, they will automatically receive 13 months of SIRIUS service, or two additional months at no extra cost. Plus, for a limited time only, Volvo will reimburse customers for the full cost of the subscription. This offer applies to Volvo SIRIUS Satellite Radio kits purchased from March 1 to May 31 of this year.

    SIRIUS is also expected to be available in additional Volvo vehicles in the near future.

Satellite radio was perhaps a bit ahead of its time, allowing subscribers — yes, subscription radio — to listen to music, sports, and talk radio, anywhere in the country. It (brilliantly) worked deals with automakers to work its way into new cars with free trials. And it did so in the space between the advent of the modern smartphone and the introduction of proper streaming media services like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music. Today, SiriusXM boasts somewhere in the neighborhood of nearly 34 million subscribers.
