Enjoying a relatively problem free first 3 months with my 06 base coupe except for an irritating intermittent problem with my stock radio. My issue: when I pressed the "power" button on my stock radio to turn it on, the screen displays "Chrysler" as normal, but nothing happens after that(no sound, no radio station display, etc.)- the screen only displays "Chrysler" no matter what button I press(the only buttons that seem to do anything are the power button to turn "Chrysler" screen on/off & the CD eject button which works properly). The radio would not work for the 1.5 hours I was driving. Has anyone had this happen to them or know how to fix the problem?

The following is a solution by geogramps.

I put in several CD's, played with all of the controls, started the car, turned it off and on and everything is working as it should.

He had no explination, he just said do it and laughed.

I just leave the radio on all the time and turn it down all the way when not in use.

I have followed these steps once. It worked at the first time.
