Hello everyone.
I have a 2005 Pontiac G6 v6 with the stock standard radio with CD player.
I took the car for a wash and detail today and when I got it back, this is what is happening on my stereo:
-The display now says "PHONE" on it, and there is phone icon in the bottom left hand corner of the display.
- I hear a hissing sound coming out of the speakers...and I can adjust the volume to make the hissing go away. But I cannot turn the power on the stereo off. Even when the car is turned off, keys are removed from the ignition and alarm is activated....the stereo is powered up with the "PHONE" on the display. I left it for 5 hours today and it was still on when I got back.......
- the radio and CD player will not play music, and I can't switch from different sources...just the "PHONE" message stays on the display.
- I pulled the stereo fuse and the stereo did shut off...but as soon as I plugged it back in.....the stereo powered up and the "PHONE" message was back on again.
I've tried pushing all the power buttons on the stereo and the main console to no avail. I've also read the manual and can't find anything about this "Phone" setting.
Any thoughts on what this could be? I assume that the people detailing the inside of the car may have pushed various buttons while wiping down the console and caused this to happen....but is there a chance they could have knocked a switch or something somewhere else on the car that has caused this? Perhaps they got water somewhere and it's caused a short?
I hoping to solve this without having to take it to the dealership as I'm going on a 4 day road trip (I'm a sales rep) and would like to have the radio or cd player working so while I'm driving in the rural areas.
Worst case scenario is I'll pull the fuse so it doesn't kill the battery while the car is parked overnight.
Regards,
