Radio turns off when braking. Help please

[griff]

Thanks for passing on the info. Having read the above, I contacted my dealer. They have the same information and my car is now scheduled for the replacement on Friday.

Thought I'd update my own posting. I just got back from the dealer, the rear brake light has been replaced and it has NOT fixed the problem. As soon as the brake light is on, the DAB radio is muted (unless its a very strong signal like Radio 2 or Radio 4). So, the hardware change has made no difference for me and the software at level 1.5.2 hasn't changed anything either. The dealer is puzzled as they've done exactly as Volvo instructed in order to fix the problem. They've now sent this information back to Volvo Technical - awaiting a reply from them, and then they will contact me again.

Same here - had my rear brake light unit replaced this week and has not resolved the issue

Since my last post I’ve driven quite a few miles and tried DAB radio in various places. Nothing more has changed in the car. I’m still on 1.5.2 and I now think the brake light replacement HAS fixed the radio cut out problem. Even locally, where I could predict when it would cut out. I’ve reported this news back to my dealer.
