If the static is coming from the volume knob, the radio is going out. you can seach this issue. I'm on my 4th and just took that one out for an aftermarket HU. I'm done replacing it.
i had this.when the radio's off,turn the knob a lot.they will self clean to a small extent.i had mine sent out to willman's in tx,rec'd on prime.they made it about 80% better by cleaning the volume knob, so i was partially satisfied.
Replacing the oem stereo quickly becomes a huge ordeal. First, try turning the volume a bajillion times back and forth to try and get it to self-clean.
Go to Radio Shack and buy a small can of "Control/Contact Cleaner and Lubricant" P/N 64-4315 Remove the knob, spray down the shaft and with the radio OFF, reinstall the knob, rotate it rapidly back and forth. Repeat about 3 times.
I think it was about $8.00, will do 1000 radio knobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you find one with a fine enough nozzle you could try spraying it in from around the knob. Worth it if the next step is a new head unit. Or just send it to briank and he'll refurbish the whole thing.
