Hello I have a 2004 Accord LX, 4 cyl with stock single cd player. Whenever i turn on the radio i get a pop then loud high pitched whine. Sometime radio will play for a few seconds then pop... I have read there are many issues with 2003-2004 accord radios but haven't seen this exact one. I am considering putting in an aftermarket stereo but really want to make sure is stereo issue and not something else (bad ground,etc...)

Does anyone have any ideas of where to start troubleshooting?

Thanks in advance,
Ron
