Although I usually don't use the radio, it is nice to have especially when you get some new tunes and want to slap 'em in and crank 'em up for a spin.

Here's the deal, The last time I drove the car was 3 days ago, I get in today and the volume which was set at about a medium level for cruising speeds won't go lower or higher as per the dial.

All the other functions work, Except the Dial. I can select the settings for Bass and Treble and whatnot but, can't adjust them with the damn dial.

You get the idea.

So I go back home and reset everything and Even after I input the the Radio code The thing won't control volume, AND NOW the volume is So low that I can barely hear it at idle, almost like it's at it's lowest possbile setting.

The car has 25,000 miles on it so All of the warrenties apply but, the only dealership I trust is 2 hours away. If I have to I will arrange a loaner car from them while they fix this and a fray on the steering wheel thread.

But, if anyone else has had this problem Which BTW I have NEVER heard of here, I would appreciate a response as well as any Helpful assistance.

Thank you in advance,

PS I know this is Not really R related only But, am also posting this in the audio section.

PPS and this is the Only trouble I've ever had with this R besides the fraying thread on the steering wheel. There that made it On Topic

 

I won't be much help except to say that it is normal for the volume to be very low after you reset the radio.

As for your problem, it sounds like a variable resistance inside the radio is kaput (usually more expensive to repair then change the unit) but I am only speculating.

All the young poeple here tend to agree that the stock radio is crap, maybe it is a good time to upgrade...

 

I played with the volume after the code was input so that can't be it since I have done the reset before and it has worked.

It is practically a brand new car so I am ready for the trip and a loaner till it's fixed. I am racing this Sunday so I'll set it up for Monday and hopefully it'll be ready by next friday since I have a race next week as well.

Oh, well at least it's warrentied.
