The last couple of months we'll be driving down the road and all of a sudden the radio stops. It still show the station and everything, but no sound. The only way to get it back is stop, turn off the car, then start the car and it's back on. It's happened about 4 times in the last couple of months. It's just a pain to turn off then on the car. If I turn the radio off then on still nothing. Hard telling how much it would cost just to have it looked at. And how compacted the dash is with all this wiring, is not worth me getting into it. Any ideas?

I don't know how to reset the radio, but when I put in a cd after hearing a pop and the sound went away, the cd player played but no sound. After stopping and turning off the car, then start up. The radio work and had sound. I don't know why that seems to fix it till the next time it does it. It can happen a couple of times in a day or once a month or more.

I've read on other forums that the circuit board goes bad. Used to be a warranty replacement item, but it's probably too late.

My 2011 has similar issues. The biggest problem is that it can turn itself on with out the key, killing the battery.

My current solution has been disconnecting the radio and sync completely. I'm looking for AM options, but I'm afraid the power supply may cause problems with my replacement.
