Several weeks ago, my radio started doing it's own thing. while driving with the radio on, the song playing would skip around like a bad CD. The radio also can't be turned off or on except with turning the key off. Also, there is no display on the radio. I looked through old threads but couldn't find anything like this. BTW, 2006 crossfire coupe 17856 miles.

 

You can either buy a used one on eBay or from a salvage yard and see how it goes if you prefer the stock radio. Or you can buy an aftermarket one which is what others will recommend. Either option is not very expensive at all.

 

Kenwood Marine radio will give you AM/FM/CD and Blue Tooth, you can answer your phone and there are inputs for other options ... the marine radio has a silver face that matches the console color very well ... model number is KMR-D382BT ... it is a single DIN unit that fits the factory opening ... get the wire harness cable with it and everything will hook to the Crossfire's wiring, only a few connections need to be made by the installer ... if the coupe has sub-woofers use the subwoofer and front locations on the back of the Kenwood unit for the speakers ... I paid just under $200 for the radio and everything I needed with it ... installation was easy

 

Thanks for the reply to my post. I will go with the aftermarket radio/cd unit. Was just wondering if anyone had heard of this before.

 

I did this and it fixed my factory radio. I haven't had a problem since. After doing this procedure, the key is to never turn your radio off. Just shut the car off and leave the radio on. The radio shuts off when the key is removed.

Here is a How To in a PDF, gives all you need to do a good job. You can buy the radio of your choice, this is for a Kenwood.
