Does the whine/statice increase and decrease with engine revs? If so, you
have a ground loop (not to be confused the typical Peugeot ground
corrosion problems). If (my guess) that graphic equalizer or some other
radio accessory is grounded directy to the battery, that's the problem. I
wonder if it's really factory installed, or a dealer-installed item.

Normally, add-on radio equipment should be grounded to the same grounding
point the other radio equipment is. Best, too, if they receive their +
power from the same point.
Connecting a radio's + and - directly to the battery puts it parallel
with the alternator, which creates the whine/static.

If playing with the grounddoesn't help. Radio Shack has a noise filters
($15-20) that will help eliminate the problem
