The decision to remove AM radio from the 2022 XC60 was absurd. I assumed I could at least listen to my preferred radio station using one of the available apps. The only one that carries it is Audacy - which Google Assistant seems to know about but isn’t available for the car (like MOST apps). It’s available in Radio.com (which is really the predecessor app to Audacy) but that app appears to have been deprecated.

What solution - if any - has anyone found to getting AM stations and/or getting the above apps to work?

(BTW, the station I’m looking for is simulcast on an HD sub channel of a local FM station… Can the tuner in the car pick up the sub channels?)

 

Outrageous how they took out AM radio station!! I would of never if bought this car. I was not told ! Cannot get by Ny stations. I’m a New Yorker .so frustrating !!! Including the MLB !!! Sooooo mad !! Among other things!!! Volvo app is terrible does not have gps and maps !! Road side assistance is not reliable !
There selling a car and it’s not 100%

 

A couple days after we got our 2022 XC60 recharge ER, we took a road trip and were trying to find the AM radio. At 71 years old my wife and I were laughing that we somehow could not navigate the technology enough to find something simple like the AM radio. We finally called our dealer from the road and he told us the car didn’t have it. I was stunned I have to admit. A radio without AM! Some of us still listen to it. Something about the AM radio signal screwing up something in the car. I too was a bit aggravated I wasn’t told about this when we got the car. It wouldn’t have been a dealbreaker but they should tell you. We use Radio.net. It works but it’s an inconvenience and an annoyance since you have to listen to about a minute of commercials every time you want a different channel. A minor annoyance in the scheme of things. I haven’t figured out if I can put it on the screen and not distract myself using it only on my phone while driving. Personally, I can’t believe they can’t figure out how to keep AM radio in the car. We’ve sent men to the moon for gosh sakes!!

 

Hi thanks for feedback !

 

BTW, we get our sports games through Sirius. We bought whatever package included all major sports leagues. That’s worked well.

 

The reason there's no AM radio is that the electric motor interferes with the AM radio reception. My radio picks up the HD sub channels.

 

The XC60 FM radio doesn't appear to have HD sub channels at all. How are you getting them??

 

I manually tune to primary HD channel then use right arrow to get to any available sub channel which show up as HD2, HD3, etc. Then I save whichever I want to listen to on a regular basis as a 'favorite'.

 

If only it worked like that. The radio doesn't even have manual tuning. It just presents a list of FM stations - primary only, no HD. Next to each one there is what I think to be the HD radio icon but it is not illuminated for any, despite my prior Volvo showing HD stations. (And it isn't like I'm too far away from the signal source or have too weak of a signal - I can confirm with several other radios in other cars in the identical locations that HD radio is available and strong.)

Seems like another feature just missing from some cars and not others. Go figure!

 

Looks like it isn't available.

I heart radio works perfectly. I know its ridiculous that theres no AM station but it is what it is.
