How to enable the wireless phone charger in a Volvo EX60
If a phone does not start charging on the pad, first check whether the vehicle’s wireless-charging control is enabled. This gives you a clear starting point before investigating the phone or its placement.
Checked against the US EX60 2027 manual on 27 October 2026. Match the controls to your car and use its current in-car instructions if a software update changes the screen.
Select vehicle symbol → Controls → More → Wireless device charging, then turn the charger on.
Check the vehicle setting before changing the phone
Make the setting change while parked. This tutorial covers enabling the car’s charger, so keep that question separate from whether your particular phone supports wireless charging or is positioned correctly on the pad.
Switch on wireless device charging
Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.
If enabling it does not solve the problem
Record whether the vehicle switch was already on and what the phone shows when placed on the charger. Use the wireless-charger usage instructions and your phone documentation for the next checks rather than assuming the menu switch proves compatibility.
Common questions
Does the charger need to be enabled first?+
Yes. The source explicitly says it must be enabled before use.
Does this setting also pair the phone with the car?+
This is the charger switch. Bluetooth phone pairing is a separate procedure in Connectivity.
