What radio is it? Rb1, Rb4, ect.? My Rb4 will sometimes do the "soft reset" while it's on and go to 89.7 other than that, nothing I'm concerned about.

The only annoying thing that mine does is the volume knob not consistently working. The steering wheel controls work just fine though, so it's not so bad.

Put an aftermarket radio in. I think I still have my stock radio. Let me know I can look for it when I get home and you can have it just pay shipping. Good luck.

Thanks for the offer on the radio. If it doesn't get any worse I'll live with it for now.

Mine is the touch screen just below the nav model and the only thing it does is sometimes the volume will go to zero and you can't turn it up with the knob or the steering wheel until you turn it off and back on...

I only do what the majority of the 4 voices in my head tell me to. In most cases, I ignore two of them because one doesn't speak English, and I suspect the other is talking to someone else.
