Hey all,
Was hoping someone might suggest some things to try about this issue.
My car has been working great since I bought it, but today at lunchtime the stereo started acting up.
When the car starts up, the stereo starts on the same radio station I left it, but only plays for a couple of seconds and then freezes.
Once it freezes it becomes quiet, and no button input (change source, power, etc.) has any impact on it, except the volume button. The volume button still raises and lowers the volume indicator on the screen, but otherwise has no impact.
Upon shutting off the car, and starting it back up again, the process repeats. I get audio for a second or two, and then it freezes.
I thought maybe cycling the power would help, so I disconnected the battery for a half an hour and reconnected it again. I had to go through an amusing little ritual of opening and closing each window after this guided by the info screen, but when complete, the stereo still behaved the same way.
Today was a particularly unpleasant day with heavy wet snow. I wonder if humidity somehow got in where it doesn't belong and is causing some sort of short?
Any ideas regarding this problem would be greatly appreciated. I miss listening to the news during my drives to and from work. It's very quiet and boring
Thanks,
Matt
