Spotify has teamed up with Volvo, to launch Sensus Connected Touch, a voice activated in-car music system for its vehicles. The Sensus Connected Touch, will allow drivers to stream music through their dashboard with 3G/4G dongle or with a smart phone connection. The system will be voice activated, so all you have to do is say the name of the song you want to hear and the song will start playing.

Volvo says the Android-based system will be updated on a regular basis. Apps that will be included with the Android-based system are Google Maps, iGo powered GPS navigation and TuneIn. Sensus Connected Touch will be available with all new Volvo cars in the beginning of May 2013. New Volvo cars that will include Sensus Connected Touch are V40, V40 Cross Country, S60, V60, XC60, S80 and XC70.
