I get FM reception, but not AM...what gives?

Asked by circacar Sep 08, 2014 at 09:02 PM about the 2009 Volvo XC70 3.2

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just bought this one-owner car. It's a 2009 xc70. When I try to get AM radio, all the
numbers show up, but absolutely no sound, not even static. FM is OK with great sound
quality. I could not find anything in the owner's manual. Help?

This is a well known and almost common problem of Volvos of that vintage. Search the web for further details. The problem is in the AM section of your audio unit and to fix it will require that the whole unit gets removed and replaced. Unless you're under warranty, expect a bill approaching $1,000 usd.
