horrible radio reception/quality?
ive lived in NY all my life and NEVER had an issue with radio reception or quality in any of my cars.
however the quality of the sound when listening to the radio in my XF is HORRRRIIBBLLEE!! its not the speakers because iPod and CD's come out great.
Ive got the BOSE system, does anyone else have the same issue?

AM Radio
Long Islander, I went back and looked, and you are correct!
However, that is my issue, so anyone with insight (as opposed to LI, whose life appears to be just wonderful, and who is not interested in local sports or talk radio or news) as to how to improve AM radio reception.....please respond.
LI, just keep on enjoying the fantastic existence you have created for yourself.

PM,
Shame on me for not updating.
Last time in, I asked the dealer to take a look. They said that infrequently, because of the sequence of assembly, paint will get on some of the radio wiring connections. So they detach and clean the ends of the wires and reattach.
They did this, and now the AM comes in like it should! Huge improvement, so perhaps your dealer can implement the same solution. My dealer is Mission Viejo Jaguar, so if your guys don't know the procedure, maybe they can call MV and discuss with their service dudes. Good luck!

Just got my beast and both AM and FM reception was nonexistant. Read a post elswhere in this forum that if Sirius radio (came on my Jag, wouldn't have purchased it myself) is on, radio by antenna is dead. True! Turned Sirius off and both AM and FM came back normal. Now perhaps someone can tell me why FM reception in a car is so much better than on a fairly expensive HK receiver in the house.

CD/AUX in my 09 are much louder and clearer. The radio doesn't sound bad or fuzzy but they just don't compare to CD/AUX. The 2012 XF with HD radio was much better on the one I test drove. I have the B&W system. I've never used AM for anything so maybe I'll give that a try to see if there is any issues.
