About Aerial Electrics

The Volvo electric aerial receives radio waves so that you can listen to the radio in your car.

The Volvo electric aerial is fixed to the outside of your car, usually contained within a vehicle section or the window frame on the driver's side. The Volvo electric aerial is connected to your car stereo by an aerial cable which houses the conductor needed to receive radio reception, and the Volvo electric aerial is basically an extension of the center conductor inside the aerial cable.

The Volvo electric aerial is operated by a motor and can be adjusted automatically from inside your car. It is usually operated by a small button which starts the motor. In some cars the automatic aerial may also function when the car radio is switched on or off. You can extend the Volvo electric aerial fully to improve radio reception or retract it back into the body of the car when you're not listening to the radio, which is a useful function in avoiding weather and accidental damage to the Volvo electric aerial.

The Volvo electric aerial, like most electrical parts, does have a lifespan and will eventually need replacing. But careful and regular cleaning to avoid damage from dirt will ensure the Volvo electric aerial lasts longer.

Volvo trivia

  • Volvo is part of the prestigious Premier Automotive Group, which also includes Aston Martin, Land Rover, and Jaguar.
  • Volvo was the first manufacturer to install fog lights on the front and rear of their cars.
  • There's a theatre in Ireland where the patrons all sit in seats from the Volvo S80 luxury saloon. A local Volvo dealer saw the seats being used at the launch of the S80 and asked Volvo if he could have some for his local theatre.
  • Volvo invented the lambda sond, which is a probe that senses oxygen. It is responsible for cutting down exhaust emissions by 90%, and has been called "the most significant breakthrough ever made in the control of vehicle exhaust emissions." Volvo waived the patent rights on this, and now almost every car on the planet has one installed.
  • In their first year, Volvo manufactured a very impressive 1,383 vehicles; the Type-1 truck and the PV651. Only 327 of their vehicles were exported in that first year.
