1sciroccofahrer,

I've had my 1995 850 for 8 years and have had this same exact problem the entire time. A friend of mine had a 1996 850 and his did the exact same thing. The point is (anecdotal evidence only) this seems to be a very common issue.

Back to my 850, I've already replaced the antenna mast unit because it broke - that didn't fix the FM radio. The radio unit in the car is also from an S70 (upgraded by previous owner) and evidently that doesn't do any better than a stock 850 radio.

I've never tried anything to fix it specifically, but knowing what I know, it seems like a lost cause.
