  • Help radio not working

    So yesterday i was listening to the radio no problem. Now today i want to listen to the radio but the only thing that comes up is clock adjustment;this is if i hit any of the buttons excluding the menu. Power button, tune dial,preset buttons,etc. If some know what i can do to fix this i would greatly appreciate. Also i disconnected the ground from the battery for 10 seconds tried again but to no avail.
    once again thanks for any suggestions.

    check fuses. i believe the radio is controlled by multiple.

      i looked in the manual but one found one fuse that was linked to the radio(correct me if im wrong)
      I also made a video that might give you a better understanding of what is going on.
      Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

        well ive never seen that b4. looks like somethings gone haywire in the radio. best suggestion i have is pull the fuse (thats teh only one) and leave it out for a while like a half hour or so then try putting it back in and maybe itll rest itself. otherwise i think it may be FUBAR

          mine had been messing up also. It wont turn on. It kinda looks like it freezes up on that screen. After a while it just seems to turn on itself and doesnt do it again for a while. I've never had what you had happen. I'm curious to see how this turns out.

            If its dead don't worry too much, I got a radio off ebay for $90 (well I upgraded mine from no aux port to an aux port). I installed it myself then got it coded by the dealer. Cost me under $200 total, that's a lot better than going to the dealer and paying $300 for the radio alone then whatever coding and install is

              Thanks for all the ideas. As a follow up pulling the fuse and keeping it out for 2 days doesn't help. So the conclusion i have reached is that something has gone wrong within the head unit. So the way im gonna fix the problem is by installing a pioneer avh-p4200 which i was planning to do down the road but i guess it will get done sooner than expected.

                    trip data such as mpg, trip odometer, etc. and oil life aren't stored in the radio, so you wouldn't lose any of it.

                      So the fuse did help? Mine just straight up wont even come on with the car, and I'm wondering if something similar might help?
