Sadly this will not work as the V70 (and all the other current larger
volvos) use dual diversity active aerials, one in the rear bumper, one in
the rear glass, so there are two aerial feeds at the HU.


It'd be interesting to see how well the radio tuner performed with the
bumper aerial disconnected. If it seriously reduced reception, it
really does leave you struggling for a solution! If on the other hand
it worked, you could then go down the FM modulator route.
