Apologies if already addressed, but I couldn't find anything specific to this issue. What happens is that whenever we drive for about an hour or so, the radio suddenly starts cutting out with a pop and then coming back after maybe 1-2 seconds. This happens regardless of whether it's AM/FM, CD, Bluetooth, whatever. We thought the CD we were listening to was skipping, but then we tried a bunch of them and finally the radio. The only way to stop it is to turn the car off for a while. However, you can even still hear the pop in the speakers when it's turned off until (I'm assuming) it cools off or whatever capacitor(s) discharge(s).
I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on having someone prod around and tell me to replace the radio, as I've read a lot of people being told that and their own problems persist. I have experience with electronics, but not automotive setups.
