AM RADIO RECEPTION BECAME VERY WEAK WHEN MY 2004 XG350L WAS ABOUT 16 MONTHS OLD. ONE DAY, THERE WAS NOTICEABLY MORE STATIC ON ALL BUT THE 2 STRONGEST STATIONS, COMPARED WITH ALL THE PREVIOUS DAYS. I LIVE IN A METROPOLITAN AREA, AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF STATIONS WITH A STRONG ENOUGH SIGNAL TO GET CLEAR RECEPTION ON MY WIFE'S CAR, AND MY PREVIOUS CAR, CIRCA 1992. I AM SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DEALER LOOK AT IT. *JB

I HAVE HAD MY XG350L FOR A YEAR AND I LOVE THE VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR THE AM RADIO. THE AM RADIO IS VERY POOR AND HAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF FEEDBACK AND BUZZING. IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE AROUND BUSINESSES WITH ELECTRIC SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT NEVER DOES CLEAR ON THE STATIONS, THERE IS ALWAYS A LOW VOLUME BUZZ OR WHINE. THE DEALER INSTALLED A CAPACITOR AT 2000 MILES. TOOK IT BACK IN AT 4000 MILES, NO BETTER AND THE DEALER SAID THAT IT JUST THE WAY AM RADIOS ARE. WELL I HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF VEHICLES AND THE OTHER VEHICLE WE OWN DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 5700 MILES AND THE AM RADIO IS AWFUL. VERY ANNOYING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT....ESPECIALLY WHEN I GET IN OTHER VEHICLES OF DIFFERENT MAKE AND THEY DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS AN INFINITY SOUND SYSTEM, BUT APPARENTLY THAT DOESN'T EFFECT THE AM RADIO FUNCTION. *AK
