Only suggestion about Bluetooth and Volvo I can offer is to

be sure to run the latest updates for the Volvo equipment.


As for bluetooth transfer between iPhones or iPhone and MBP,

this is not a feature of iphone, iPad or iOS, never has been.

Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree

telephone devices/headsets, some keyboards,

some peer-to-peer apps from the app store and internet tethering

where provided by the carrier.

Other than this it will not connect to a phone/computer/device.

(thanks to ckuan for the wording)

You are correct in your understanding - there is no bluetooth

file transfer between iPhones or iPhone and other cellphones or

devices.


Car bluetooth is tough to diagnose. I can connect to a Nissan Rogue

with both iPhone 4 & 5 while the car's owner cannot with his iPhone 5.

Perhaps the Volvo fora/discussion boards might offer a clue.


Thank you for the feedback. And hope you get the iPhone and Volvo

to work together.
