My new S60 get great FM radio reception but extremely bad AM reception. I am a talk radio fan and listen to lots of AM stations. Any ideas besides going back to dealer?
Thanks

If the problem is noise, the usual reason is a bad connection to the body at the antenna. But doing anything about it really is the dealer's headache.

It is possible that you have an aerial integral with the window glass. If so you may find a break in the AM loop. This can be mended with a template and conductive paint.
All the best, Peter.

The rear electronic differential can cause AM static. A ground strap from the DEM to frame will correct the AM static. Any Volvo dealer should know about this and can correct a static problem. The above will not help poor reception.
