How much will it cost to fix my car radio?

I purchased a used car with a non-functional radio, but I want to play some tunes during my daily commute. How much can I expect to pay to fix my car’s radio?

The cost to fix your car's radio can vary, ranging from $25 to $300, depending on the specific issue.
Let’s start with the cheaper repairs and work our way up:
Blown fuse: If the problem is a blown fuse, you can easily replace it. A replacement fuse typically costs around $30, which you can order from a dealership or mechanic.
Wiring issue: If you suspect an issue with the wiring, it’s best to have a professional take a look to avoid hurting yourself or damaging your car. In this case the cost for parts and labor can range upwards of $100. 
Radio replacement: If you need to replace the entire radio unit, costs can vary based on your preferences. Lower-cost replacement options start around $150.
Keep in mind that these are general cost estimates, and actual prices may vary depending on factors such as the specific car model and the labor rates in your area.
