2022 XC60 Volvo Radio
Radio
The radio can be operated via the center display, the steering wheel keypad, or voice control.
More radio apps can be downloaded from Google Play.
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.
Start Radio
Starting from the center display
- Start the radio app from the home view 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.
RDS radio
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 categories, e.g. program types or traffic information.
- Receive text information on a current radio program.
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.
