It depends what type of reception problems you have. I have an 850 wagon, they don't have a traditional mast antenna; it's printed on one of rear windows and gets very weak FM reception. Anyway, I bought an FM signal booster from Crutchfield (about $20 I think) and wired that in and just zip tied it in place behind the stereo head unit. It gets a 12V power wire and then plugs inline between the existing antenna lead and the antenna plug in on the back of the head unit. It definitely improved the reception in my case, not sure how well it will work in the XC90.
