First Problem...

Okay, I've had my car for about 7 months. Today the audio and telephone display are not working. Usually it tells me the radio station that it's on or something like that but now it just shows this --- on both sections of the menu. Also the radio does not seem to turn off. When I remove the key I can still turn the radio on or off. Has anyone seen this before. Did I press something I shouldn't have or do I have to take it to the dealer?

Do you mind telling me where? I looked through my manual but obviously I missed it. Thanks for your help.

Should be explained under 1) reserve power and 2) key off operation. Your manual is different than mine so I can't give you a page reference. HTH

yep, he's right, we ARE suppose to be able to turn our radios on and off without the key in the ignition

but about the phone thing and other radio problem, your car is certainly still under warranty so just take it in to your dealer and they'll fix you up

Well thanks for your help guys. Today I read the manual went to my car and everything was working fine. Oh, well I guess I'll just have to wait till it happens permanently. Thanks again.
