Radio reception- what have you done? XC90

posted by  someone claiming to be abe on  Tue Sep 28 14:40 CST 2004 [RELATED]

The radio aerail on the XC90 is actually a printed film antenna below that black roof section. An amplifier will not work with that system.
Your owner's manual may be of some help as the Dolby feature makes the FM crackle if it is on if the signal strength fall below a level that is needed for it to work. The signal level needed for Dolby is far above what is needed for normal stereo FM to work with good sound quality.
This is something that can be turned off in one of the radio's menus.
