My radio stopped working the other day. All functions seemed to be fine except the volume. I couldn't get any sound of it. All I did get was a little crackle from the speakers when I turned it on. I also noticed that the volume display would go to zero if I turned it up. I took the car to the dealer yesterday and they pulled the head unit to send it out for service. At least I still have the car, but no radio is no fun. They said it would probably take 5 days to get it back. I'm not holding my breathe.
Anyone else experience anything like this?

Just listen to the symphony from the exhaust. Whenever I drive local roads I like to turn the radio down and lower my windows to listen to the car. But sorry to hear about your troubles and I agree no tunes is better than no ride.

Wish I could. But I'd look like an idiot revving the motor repeatedly while sitting in Chicago traffic. I need my traffic reports on the 8's.

what ????? :confused

Yep, it is WBBM.

The radio shutting off when listening at high volume is suppose to be normal. There is thermal protection built in for the amps. I thought that might have something to do with my problem. I had the car in a parking garage, left work and went to lunch. The radio worked fine. The car sat in the sun for 30 to 40 minutes. I got back in to go back to work and no volume. I parked it back in the garage and it still didn't work at the end of the day. Same thing the next morning.
