#1 of 14 Weak radio signal? by lostchild Oct 08, 2007 (7:02 am)
Does the XC90 have a very weak radio reception? Some of the FM stations that were normally very strong in my other cars were weak at the XC90, and some of the AM stations that were normally okay got no signal at all at the XC90. Is there anything I can do to boose the radio reception?
#3 of 14 Mounting GPS Question by dortor Jan 14, 2008 (6:50 am)
Hi. I am looking at purchasing a GPS - probably a TomTom. But the dash mounting looks like it may be a problem. Has anyone else purchased one - any good/bad experiences and recommendations? Thanks!
#4 of 14 Headlights by nonna1 Feb 22, 2008 (6:37 am)
I'm driving a 2006 XC90 V-8 AWD and love it except for one thing. My headlights go on and off spasmodically. I get a message...bulb failure low beam...but since they are on a lot it's not the bulb. My dealership (under warranty) performed a computer update to try and resolve the issue...did not help. When I kill my engine and restart they come on again. Sometimes if I simply turn the light switch they come back. Has anyone else had this isse? Replies to this message: jimmc2008 (Apr 25, 2008 6:28 pm) pmein (Oct 15, 2009 5:12 am)

Replying to: nonna1 (Feb 22, 2008 6:37 am) I have the same headlight problem with my 2004 XC90. Have had the right low beam bulb replaced twice in one year so it is either really bad bulbs or some electrical problem with the car itself. I am having the same "on and off again" headlight problem right now and have a service appt. next week. I noticed that Volvo dealer never seem to acknowledge that the XC90s are problem cars and that they, of course, always want you to pay for Volvo's inherent defects. I had a clogged sunroof drain that flooded the passenger side floor of my XC90 and the dealership in Austin, Texas acted as though this was not a common problem--I heard from a friend that clogged sunroof drains on the XC90 are a problem.
#7 of 14 XC90 Navigation software installation by aalqudwah Jun 07, 2008 (10:58 am)
I purchased an updated map software for my XC90 T6 navigation. doaes anyone know how to replase the existing software with the new one. Someone told just all it takes is to eject the old DVD and insert the new one. My problem is I can't find the eject button on the DVD player which is located under the driver seat. Has anyone done this before? Replies to this message: carluver92 (Jul 09, 2008 4:17 pm)

Replying to: aalqudwah (Jun 07, 2008 10:58 am) to eject the navagation DVD slide the cover down on the front of the player, then the dvd will eject, make sure your xc90 is on
#9 of 14 Navigation System losing location by abvbynd Jul 29, 2009 (3:29 pm)
We have a 2005 XC90 V8 with Volvo Navigation system. We have updated the maps every year. In the last few months the system just looses where we are and sometimes it will relocate us on the GPS but other times we have to shut the sytem down and it may not re-locate our position for a day or two (which is frustrating when travelling!). We also purchased a Garmin to take with us in case...Has anyone else had problems like this with the Volvo Nav system? We re going to take it in to the dealer to check it out, I am sure it should be covered on our Extended Volvo TotalCare Warranty, at least I hope since it comes fro the factory! Anyone else had this problem with their Nav system? Thanks! Replies to this message: my2005xc90 (Sep 02, 2009 1:37 pm) nav7 (Oct 27, 2009 2:22 pm)
#10 of 14 NAV system not bright anymore. by sundance6 Aug 11, 2009 (2:54 pm)
I would really appreciate any input about my built-in Nav screen on my 2003 XC90.   I tried the dash board dimmer and the NAV settings for screen brightness and it can not get it back from what appears to be 60% of what the screen brightness used to be.   thanks
