No AM radio - v70 2008
Hi all,
I recently purchased a 2008 V70 with the high performance sound system. Unfortunately there is no AM radio signal, FM is fine. I know the normal problem is the CD player unit but this has been replaced and since tested (broken when bought it so had a new replacement fitted). I understand the next culprit could be 1 of the 2 aerial amplifiers (1 in behind bumper and 1 in roof lining). Does anyone have an idea which it could be and the part numbers? I don't wanna have roof lining out to then find out it's the bumper or vice versa. Can order part in advance too. Thanks Ben |

Thanks for the help! Good job I didn't start pulling out the roof lining! Ha ha
The ICM was broken when I bought the car so had it replaced. The same Volvo specialist then tested it later when I told them I had no AM and confirmed it was fine and suggested maybe an aerial but not sure without investigating further. So based on your points it sounds like I need a new IAM. If I am correct that is he CD player part that sits behind the screen? Does the car need programming or can I just swap it out and go? (Be great if I can pick 1 up on eBay to fit myself and avoid garage fees) Thanks again Ben |

Do you really need AM ? If you bought a Pure Highway 4000 and add it you would get all the DAB stations , USB music input , i-pod interface and AUX input . for 1/4 the cost of a new IAM .
