Why is my Radio not working properly - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My 2010 1LT Camaro radio is acting weird. The preset buttons occasionally work. "Favorites Saved" randomly pops up on the screen. The seek buttons don't work. Now my AC button occassionaly works.

Tried uplugging the battery cable in the trunk overnight, but that didn't work.

Is it a Body Control Module problem?

Any reccomendations?

I'm not entirely sure that this thread is in the appropriate forum section.

I could be wrong though...

To answer your question, though, you should probably take your car back to the dealer for them to diagnose the issue. Electrical issues can have any number of different causes that we on an internet forum could take months to diagnose.

Hello, welcome to Camaro5. The area you posted your thread in is intended for questions/comments related to the website itself.

I have moved your thread to the Camaro Issues/Problems subforum, located at the top of the 4th group of sub-forums (the Technical Camaro Topics group). It can be easy to miss.

btw, since you scrolled down to the very last sub-forum, I can tell that you at least tried to find the proper sub-forum. That effort is appreciated.

My radio was acting weird too. My car had been in the garage (windows down) for hours and my cell phone in the kitchen. I heard my car ringing and answered it from the steering wheel. There were no lights on the cluster or dash even during the call. After I finished talking I hit the hang up button on the steering wheel and went inside the kitchen and found the light on my phone indicating it was still connected to BT. Dealer replaced the radio under warranty. I noticed for the 2 days prior I had a lot of missed calls and every time I started up the car, the flash drive started at the beginning of the MP3 list.

Have you tried checking the display fuse in the drivers side fuse box?
