Radio whine(sp?)
Ok I have a stock WRX w/ the six disc in dash changer. I get massive radio whine when the engine is running. Is this normal, and is there a way to fix it semi-easily. It is most noticable on AM. I am figuring a power cable to close to something and just thought I would ask before dismantling.

I think I have exceeded my warranty though and would have to pony up the cash. I have installed several stereos before and was wondering if anyone would know the answer for this car more specifically. I think its a power wire that is too close to the antenna wire, or something similar. I will ask if they will cover it though, but I doubt it.

Take it back to the dealer. A stock stereo should have no whine at all. I have the upgraded speakers and sub, too, and mine has no whine.
You have an electrical problem, possibly a bad ground, that needs to be looked at.
