Buttons Don't Work

I was driving down and I noticed music wasn't playing because the radio wasn't connected to via Bluetooth to my phone so I restarted the radio by turning it off and on with the physical power button. I did this about two times and it still wouldn't connect to my phone's Bluetooth and as I was about to try restarting it again I noticed it wouldn't turn back on. I parked on the side of the road and checked the fuse but it was fine. Got home took the radio out unplugged the wires from the back and voila it turned on then I noticed that the buttons weren't working. Power button wouldn't work, volume knob wouldn't work either basically none of the physical buttons on it would work

Try a factory reset. This cures most issues. There should be a small hole in the front panel which if you insert a pin will reset the unit. It will however reset any preset tuning to blank so it will need re-configuring. You can get a manual here:

Page 3 of the manual explains the location.

Hope that helps.
