Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

17 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Driving home today my radio started misbehaving. Since this forum has a strict "if you can't provide pictures it didn't happen" rule I broke out my cell and captured a video since I was stopped in traffic due to an accident on the HWY. I have to admit I only switched to FM since the CD changer was acting up. Maybe someone was trying to give me a message http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyvanIliivU

POST 2Original post

I can't help with the radio, but, as you say, I've seen something similar in a movie where someone is trying to communicate through a radio or TV. The movie, The Game, comes to mind. Anyway, good luck.

i have the same problem occasionally. my CDR23 radio can't hang on to the radio station and it flips back and forth. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...ml#post8363090 it also has problems with loss of audio. i think the radio stinks. there was a tsb, but I dont' qualify for it since I'm not the original owner and its not under original warranty. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...io-recall.html i have an extended warranty and will eventually use that when it gets bad enough.

OK..I'll bite. Why do you need and old priest and a young priest?

POST 9Original post

Did start to behave on it's own or is it still posessed? When mine does that I have to pull both radio fuses and reinsert them to reboot the system.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 8516301

Seems to be behaving now. Perhaps it had to do with all the emergency equipment on the HWY and thier communication frequencies?

POST 12Original post

Similar thing happened and tech told me the radio gets into a goofy state. To fix I can remove the radio fuse -- 'big red switch' kind of thing -- or turn off the car for IIRC 30 minutes after which the radio system is completely powered down (another variation of the big red switch). And I have been told there's a fix but I don't know what it is exactly, but seem to recall, or imagined it but anyway involves some sort of radio firmware upgrade. Sincerely, Macster.

POST 13Original post

My tech told me my radio has the latest firmware. And it still acts goofy. Hoping it goes kablooey before my extended warranty expires.

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Another problem with the radio today. I would turn the **** and the station wouldn't change....then when I looked down I realized the cigarette lighter probably wasn't designed to change the radio station..dumba#@.

Faulty head units are a common problem. Toss it and replace with a good one.
