update: I dorve home and the steroe was still frozen on and nothing works . (buttons or dials cant turn on or off). Turned the car off and the stereo wouldnt shut off. i let it sit and it was still on when i came back out. I pulled the #5 fuse and it didnt shut off. I pulled the # 8 fuse and it shut off. I left it that way for a few minutes. Plugged it back in expecting the stereo to continue to be back on even thought the ignition was off. It didnt. Everything seems to be back to normal. Quick fix. We'll see how long it lasts.

Anyone else experience this phenomena?
