try another dealership with a vehicle like yours , see if it is just in your vehicle. cd and fm is not common in amplifier circuitry. xm sat radio would be digital. fm analog..cd is a digital to analog converter to then create sound power. analog circuits can pick up RF interference.
Thanks for the reply,
The distortion/noise occurs all the time, ignition off or on, engine ruinning or not.
