    Default Is my radio fried or can i fix it?

    When i got my car back the radio came right on. It didn't occur to me right then the shop failed to disconnect the negative battery cable before removing my headlights to paint but they later confirmed they did not do that. I attempted to change from the playing CD to another using the number buttons but it did not respond. It would also not respond to the Track selector button. I disconnected the battery last night for over an hour, reconnected it, input the correct code correctly and its still behaving bizarrely. Sometimes pressing the Tone controls sends it to Weather band sometimes if i hit the track selector it will change other times not or not till after many times pressing it. Changes CDs but not always to the one for the button pressed and other similar malfunctions. Will i find this behavior corrected if i leave the car on start for an hour or something, thought i read about doing that..

    I think I'm gonna just buy this $99.99 plus shipping on ebay.

    That is my picture of my unit i sent him displayed on his screen and his radio he will send me. he didn't think the Alpine unit would work with the pioneer changer but i told him that was my set up and it works fine.. not sure what he means..
