Why does the CD player work only sometimes and why does the local radio stations seem to get static interference?

I have only tried playing store bought CD's.

Replace stereo! .. Google > Crutchfields .. better unit and cheaper than repair.

So are you thinking that would fix the radio issue as well?

Yep, suspect radio tuner as well.. I'm telling you from experenced that Crutchfields is the way to go!

Ok, thanks! Didn't know that could happen. I was thinking antenna bad, but didn't know where it was located.

Stereo is getting old and tired, like myself.. Replacement is far better than fooling with that unit.. Crutchfields got ANYTHING you need and superior tech support for a perfect install .. Can't beat em!

Sounds good. Thanks again!

You bet!
