ahwman Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Just got my X920BT installed and it seems to work well with the exception of AM radio. FM stations come in strong, however I can't tune a single AM station. Anyone else having issues? Could my installer have missed something Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HuskerSMJ Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I've got the same problem with mine. Previous radio got AM stations fine but this guy has horrible reception in the AM band. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
totalauto Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 I have the same problem. Are you using an antenna adapter, like 40-CR10 or 40-GM10? I've seen this on many Pioneers we install to VW, Dodge, GM, Smarts, Mercedes. I am using the BT audio to stream my AM stations in my local area. Cant believe this radio and other nav radios from Pioneer have terrible AM reception. Also seen it in older Fords that didnt need an adapter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MuthaFunk Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Add me to the list. I can't get a single am station. I have a VW Golf Wagon. It pisses me off because I can get regular traffic updates every 10 min. on AM but FM is a little harder to consistiently find them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cpkdude Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I like AM every now and then - anyone get this fixed? Pioneer used to be the kings of aftermarket tuners - what is happening to this company? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Guys most foreign cars have an AM antenna amp that has to be connected in order to get AM reception. The power wire for the amp is usually connected to your antenna adapter. You might want to have a look and see if this applies to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MuthaFunk Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 In my Volkswagen Golf I had to use a powerd antenna adapter to get the FM reception to work. It works well enough but I still don't get any AM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
