Some Volvo S60 owners report experiencing issues with their radio randomly jumping stations during drives. This problem may stem from malfunctioning steering wheel buttons, which could inadvertently switch stations if they are overly sensitive or pressed accidentally. Additionally, internal faults within the radio system might necessitate a replacement to resolve the station jumping and mode changing. Poor antenna reception is another contributing factor, and enhancing it with a kit, such as a brass strip for better contact at the antenna amplifier, could alleviate the issue. For more complex problems, owners are advised to seek professional diagnosis from a certified Volvo mechanic or car audio specialist to ensure proper repairs. Lastly, user interaction with the radio controls, particularly on the steering wheel, can also trigger unintended station changes, so being mindful of control usage while driving is recommended.
