How do you program the radio in a Volvo s60?

Volvo radio is messed up please help!?

• i have a 93 Volvo 850, it's a really nice car and blah blah blah, but i bought it with the original radio which has a tape player in it. anyways i decided to upgrade and bought a compatible CD Volvo radio from a 2001 s60? not totally sure but after about two weeks the FM radio keeps cutting out. i have found it is related to the connection to where the antenna plugs into the head unit because if i wiggle the radio signal comes in and out. it works perfectly fine on my older radio and on the newer one i re soldered many of the ground connections and it hasn't helped. if you know a solution or what you think the problem can be please let me know! Thank You!

• Answer:

  Some of the antenna male plug in connectors have a spring like metal that has grooves in it where you can expand the metal so that the plug becomes a bit wider allowing for a more solid connection.Also inside the stereo where you see the middle connector that connects up the positive centre lead of the male antenna connector can develop a crack or tiny circle around the soldered circuit board connection.Note this does happen to grounds for the antenna or to other soldered connections within the stereo, also the male connector may have a bad connection so check it over closely.Note that sometimes using a different male antenna plug helps but usually if it's not a soldering issue the metal can be widened and the problem is solved but maybe using a antenna extension cord that has a female connector and male connector at the other end might fix the problem. Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way I think that you're on the right track bec any stereo that old will have weak or bad soldering connections due to solder wears out or wears down bec of the o-zone and also the circuit boards are soldered mostly be robots and most of them all have some kind of improper/faulty solder connection from the very start, plus most problems are ground related.
