Can't pick up any AM radio stations

When pressing the AM radio button, I cannot receive any of these stations. FM is fine, but don't even receive static over the radio waves on the AM waveband.
Anyone else had this?

Must try AM, don't think I've ever had it on that frequency.

Never used AM, but turn it on today just to try it out. Can't get any stations or static so going to give the dealers a ring. Only had the car 18 month's.

Could be worse, found the AM button, gave it a try, ended up briefly listening to something from the 70's. Embarassed
Is there a moral to this?

use AM a lot to listen to Clyde 2, not as good reception as FM, but acceptable.

AM has stopped working on ours too. Will get resolved under warranty when I get round to calling the stealers. Also need to get the loud buzzing through the 'Aux' input sorted, together with the engine speed dropping when approaching junctions (only intermittently) and the fact that during the recent cold spell, it seemed to want to crank over before the glow plugs had been on long enough, leading to some pretty rough and hesitant cold starts...

Always used to listen to Talk Sport 1053/1089 on my travels from Devon to Holland, used to be able to get it all through the night. Nothing better than listening to all the drunkards calling in and having a rant about everything. AM still has its uses even in this MP3/IPOD/DAB age Sport LE Lago Grey

I had the same problem. Took it to the dealer who thought maybe the antenna came unplugged when I told him of the problem. After troubleshooting they said the AM amp module was fried and he would have to order me a new one. It's only been 3 weeks and I still haven't heard from them.

Do they not have satellite (Sirius/XM in the USA and Canada) radio in the UK?

I have SiriusXM Satellite Radio in both of my Land Rovers and my Mustang and nothing, absolutely nothing beats SiriusXM I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop.

Oh ok. I guess Satellite is our version of digital.

I also noticed when I was in the UK y'all get FM stations with an even number for the decimal.

Such as 98.4

In the USA I've only seen them end with an odd number. I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop.
