2023 Volvo V60 Radio Owners Manual

Linking between DAB and FM

The function makes it possible to change from an FM or DAB channel with poor or no reception to the same channel in another channel group (ensemble) with better reception, within DAB and/or between DAB and FM. DAB to DAB, DAB to FM, and FM to DAB are all supported. Linking can be activated under Settings in the radio app.

Sorting

When DAB/FM linking is activated, the channel list only contains channels with good reception, and duplicates with poorer reception are removed, irrespective of whether it is an FM or DAB broadcast. When DAB/FM linking is not activated, the DAB channels are at the top in alphabetical order, followed by the FM channels sorted by frequency.

Quick commands

When the app is used, it can also be controlled via quick commands in the home view.

Radio messages

Different types of radio messages, e.g. traffic news and societally important information, can be set under settings in the radio app.

Starting from the center display

Start the radio app from the home view(The app can be accessed from the home view if it is one of the last apps used.) or app view
Select the desired radio channel from the list of available radio channels, or from your favorites.

Starting with voice control

It is also possible to start FM radio using voice control by stating a frequency(When using voice control, only FM frequencies can be stated, not names of radio channels.)

RDS radio

(Option/accessory.)

RDS (Radio Data System) means that the radio automatically changes to the strongest transmitter. RDS provides the ability to receive e.g. traffic information and to search for certain program types.
RDS links FM transmitters into a network. An FM transmitter in such a network sends information that gives an RDS radio the following functions:

• Switch automatically to a stronger transmitter if reception in the area is poor.
• Search for program category, e.g. program types or traffic information.
• Receive text information on a current radio program.

Note

Some radio stations do not use RDS or only select parts of its functionality.
When broadcasting news or traffic messages, the radio can switch stations, interrupting the audio source currently in use. The radio returns to the previous audio source and volume when the set program type is no longer broadcast.

Setting radio favorites

(Option/accessory.)

It is possible to add a radio channel to the list of radio favorites that are shown as a separate tab in the radio app.

Radio Favourites

To save radio channels to your list of favorites, proceed as follows:

1. Open the radio app from the home view or app view.
2. Tap on the star next to the radio channel that you want to add to your list of radio favorites. The star is then filled in blue to confirm the selection.

The radio channel is added to your list of favorites.
DAB channels sort in alphabetical order from the top, followed by the FM channels sorted by frequency.
To delete a radio channel from your list of favorites, tap on the star again. The blue fill disappears to confirm that the radio channel has been deleted from the list of favorites.
