2007 XCV70 No am Radio:

[Dana Lewis]

Just acquired this car. with 167k miles.
Only issues are, fog lights not working, and am side of radio has No reception. FM mode is fine.
When I press the am button, station preset buttons or scan mode nothing happens.
I'm wondering if there's an antenna issue or Is there a programming process for the am side of radio?
Thanks for your attention.

AM radiowaves are very long -- the length of a football field, so there isn't any external antenna for an AM receiver. That points to a failed component in the radio. A good replacement unit can be found by Googling the "HU xxx" model number of your radio.

Sounds like the head unit is bad. A used unit would be the way to go. Make sure it’s the same year (for both color and compatibility).

A place like Erie Vovo, which has a huge selection of used parts and a lifetime guarantee is the way to go.

It’s an easy job, but disconnect the battery first. When you take out the Climate Control module below it (for screw access) you interrupt the CAN BUS. If electricity is flowing between modules, this interruption will cause an airbag (SRS) warning that can only be reset by VIDA...

Ask me how I know...
