Default radio problems

New member here. I just purchased a used 2014 Dodge Caravan with 45k miles on it. Only after the purchase i noticed that the radio is not working. I hear music for a few seconds then a pop from the speakers. After a few seconds the music starts again for a very short time then pop again and so on. Should i just replace the unit with a good used one?

Yes, that would be the most logical thing to do. Sounds like the amp is fried.

Just a quick update. A working used radio from ebay was the fix.
