Hi all,

Classic FM switched to DAB+ on 2nd January and now I can't receive it (message is "no reception").

According to the Volvo website, MY21 XC40s support DAB and DAB+ so does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be?

Thanks,
Stanno

Have you tried a new search for Classic FM?

From my handbook ...

"Searching manually makes it possible to find and tune to stations that are not on the automatically compiled list of the strongest stations in the area"

Ours picks it up with no problems - even using voice control

Tried search and voice without success. I can receive other DAB+ stations, including the CAPITAL ones mentioned on the ClassicFM website, so I am assuming it's not a car problem.

It's funny how some cars are slower than others to do things. I had problems with voice control playing Radio 2 DAB whereas JFDIT'S had been fine for weeks but then suddenly my car starting playing it. Same software updates etc. so why? Makes no sense.
