I had an early 2010 xc60 before bluetooth audio, just had bluetooth phone.
workaround for me was to buy a very cheap bluetooth receiver from your friendly auction site that plugged into the 3.5 mm aux plug in the armrest holder and I hardwired a cheap usb power supply to the fuse box in the footwell using a piggy back fuse and tucked it all under the side panel of the centre console.
downside to this setup is you have to change tracks with your phone as the steering wheel controls wont work for the aux,
get a decent phone holder and i turned on gestures so a quick swipe changed tracks without looking.
Not ideal by any means but a working solution to use spotify for less than £15 and an hour or so effort
My next volvo was a v60 that had the bluetooth audio
hope that helps
