radio and keyfobs broke at the same time
so both keyfobs (one is new from dealer in March of this year) stopped locking and unlocking the doors and the back at the same time the radio locked up. You can do volume up/down from the console or steering wheel but thats it. No menu, can't change stations, can't show only time. Is there a connection between the two? is there a common controller?
Do I have one big problem or two unrelated (coincidences)?

It’s unlikely that 2 fobs would both just fail at the same time, and the radio is an odd coincidence as well. It has to be something in the car...possibly the CAS Control Unit? My fob died recently and in the process of trying to determine why the car wouldn’t start, I learned that the CAS unit controls your ignition switch among other things including locks. It may have a fault there. Just an idea of what to look at to try to find a culprit. Good luck and let us know how it turns out
