Description of the problem	A couple of weeks ago my factory radio system stopped working. Since then it will come on by itself and go back out without warning and i am unable to operate it in any way or to cut power on or off to it. A couple of days ago it smelled like it was on fire and smoke came out of it thru the dash board area inside of the vehicle. I immediately turned the car off exited the vehicle and waited a few minutes. I then popped the hood to see if there was something on fire and did not see anything but the smoke was still coming the the dashboard area. This was the only incident since 2 days ago. I was driving when i started smelling the burning smell and then i pulled over and parked and turned off the vehicle.
