Alternator, you might find some changes in your radio quality just before it goes, everything weakens. Then nothing.

Had similar problem. With the lights on, sometimes the radio goes dead and the dashboard lights goes dim. Turned out it was just the battery not receiving enough voltage. Just a quick 15 min charge from the local battery dealer was enough to solve the problem.
