Radio does not respnd to controls


Recommended Posts

I have a 2008 Boxster. Yesterday, the radio "froze" playing a CD. I could not adjust the volume, switch to the radio, or even turn off the unit. The CD is not pirated and the radio/player was working fine the day before. Thankfully, the volume was not on high. Had to drive 400 miles home listening to the same CD. Any ideas how to restore the radio to a working condition?

Wow, flashback, had a tape deck once get side 2 of The Wall stuck, listened to it for several months.

I would either remove the fuse to remove power to the head unit, or disconnect the battery. There are probobly several fuses that send power to it.

When it restarts, it should go back to normal, and you should be able to eject the disk.

I pulled the fuse for the Electronics Unit (radio / CD / telephone), left it out about 5 mins, and re-installed the fuse. Turned the key to accessory and the radio return to normal.

Hope this will help out some one else from having to drive hours listening to the same music.
