I don't know if someone has solved the problem for you before this, but here is what I did to fix the problem in my '99 V70. The problem is caused by a poor ground when the radio is inserted. To fix it I slid the radio in and out several time until the ground (wherever it is) gets to bare metal. That took care of the problem. It does recur anytime the Volvo sits for a period of days, but this fix works every time. You can test to see if this is the problem by pushing in on the radio around the top and bottom corners. If that cuts the static, that is your problem. I wish I had discovered this fix when I had my Saab. it had the same problem and the dealer could not fix it. Larry
