The Polestar 2 comes with a similar Harman Kardon audio system to what you'd find in its Volvo cousins. No Bowers & Wilkins option, but this HK radio still does a great job. You just have to get used to the infotainment.

thank you for the ride and the sound experience

@ScottLeapman 2 года назад

BTW, you CAN put the Polestar 2 into a form of "Accessory" mode like a regular car. Just press the Play/Pause button above the shifter and you won't need to put it in gear to play some tunes.

@ScottLeapman 2 года назад

And a later software update has fixed that issue with climate controls covering the settings and Play store buttons.

@@arthursilvamartins6330 I think this is the car manufacturer's fault, B&W in the BMW cars is also not as good as in Volvo's cars. There must be a reason for that, like they give less freedom to the sound engineers than Volvo.

I have a Polestar 2. 3:30 If you select “Driver” then the driver becomes the focal pt for the speakers, it takes everything to the next level… you seen to have missed that one. I also think you seem to miss some of the finer pts of navigating the UI, it’s actually brilliantly simple once you understand it.

@thecremeegg Год назад

This sounds incredible compared with the base stereo in my W205 Merc - truly, truly the worst speaker system in any car, ever. I wanted the Burmester but you can't get it without the Pano roof which, being tall, meant I couldn't fit haha!

@rarelyaccurate6252 2 года назад

I have a Polestar 2. This car with youtube premium is amazing. You can say "Hey Google Play ..." any song and it will immediately play that song. RU-vid music also plays "my mix" which it creates. I'm sure it's algorithm-based, but the suggestions are really good based on what I am currently listening to. It doesn't need inputs, since I don't play music from my phone, the car/youtube music has all of the music.

@pyramusk3264 10 месяцев назад

I'm getting mine in a couple of days. How well does it integrate with RU-vid music. Should i just go right ahead and switch to Spotify or does YT-M work just as fine?

Have you found out what brand the speakers are?? Would they be worth upgrading to something like Dynaudio or Morel??

@snoks 3 месяца назад

The Polestar 2 has with the Plus Package a Harman/Kardon System.

@mjm050380 2 года назад

Picked up my polestar 2 last last Monday and was excited to check out the audio system based on your review. I was very disappointed and expected so much more. Doesn’t feel powerful at all, especially on the bass side of things. I’m hoping as the speakers break in it will get better. I did notice the bass sounded much deeper with the front windows cracked a bit. The lexicon system in my 2015 K900 was light years better! That system made me want to drive, just to listen to music.

@TrainsFerriesFeet 2 года назад

Did you get the H/K with the Plus package or the base stereo?

@mjm050380 2 года назад

@@TrainsFerriesFeet I have the HK system. Low end has improved a little as the speakers have broken in (or my ears have adjusted) but still not impressed with the system overall. The Lexicon system in my previous Kia K900 was light years better.

@christopherrmcg 2 года назад

The Harman / Kardon in the 60 and 90 series Volvo’s sounds a good bit better than in the Polestar2 and XC40.

@Rasmushed 2 года назад

Some of this is incorrect. Inside the center console (if you lift the armrest up) there is two USB-A jacks. One of them is marked with a white line going around and that one can be used to play mp3 from USB. It is the same jack that now enables Apple Carplay when connecting an iPhone.

@MultiDc12345 2 года назад

also incorrect about sirius xm app being available.

@mjm050380 2 года назад

As an owner of a Polestar 2 (for only 1 week) your comment made me get out of bed to check on this because I had never noticed it. I can confirm that there are ZERO USBs in the center arm rest (2022 model) so not sure what you’re talking about.

@timefly4221 2 года назад

Is this essentially the same as the XC40 system? My wife has an XC90 with the HK, and we have an XC40 loaner today with the upgraded HK system. I can say that the XC90 version is better. The last loaner we borrowed had the B&W system and of course that is amazing. PS. Volvos are in the shop a lot.

What a crap it can’t stream music from a USB drive that’s shit. Why didn’t you plug the phone in and then stream music over Bluetooth i guess it’s not so good. Or you cant do that either?
