Radio snafu

Well, I guess it'll be another two-hour trip to the dealership before long.
I was just there about a month ago for my first scheduled service and a three-hour reprogramming session, to cure the common driver's window glitch; now all of a sudden I can't change the station on the radio, using any method other than scanning.
Oh well; I suppose any reason for a drive is not necessarily a "bad" reason.

Disconnect the battery for 30+ minutes and see what happens. This is more common this tone thinks.

Yes you will have to reset the radio stations, time, date etc but why spend 4 hours getting to the dealer for them to tell you "we diagnosed it and after disconnecting the battery for some time it is all fixed."

Sounds like a plan. Is there anything else that I will going to lose by doing that?

should not be anything else but if you have conv. access remember to have the fob in the slot when you program the stations as they can be different from fob to fob.

No conv. access, so that's not an issue.

Okay, I'll give it a shot; wish me luck!

You're a genius!
All I lost was the clock; all other settings remained, and the glitch is gone.

Thanks!
