Radio went dead

imported_mega · 11-09-2009, 04:49 PM

Anyone had this happen?

I was driving along, I touched the brakes with my foot and at the exact same time, my radio went dead, totally dead, no time display or anything

I hit the power button and it came back on after a little delay

Yes, a few other have reported the same thing. My display stays on but I can't switch sources and there is no sound. If I restart the car and open and close the door it restarts. Happens about once a month so I'll wait till my next service.

well crap I found a service bulletin for it, I guess when they updated the software a couple months ago for yet another bug, they put on software that had this bug

and here I ordered a car with no options so I would not have electrical problems like this

just happened to me this morning for the first time (have owned my car almost 2 yrs). My CD functioned fine, but the only audio options available were AUX and the CD.

I hope the radio works once I get back in my car in about a 1/2 hour.
