    Hey guys

    I'm pretty sure the stock radio in my 2013 just bit the dust. It keeps cycling between black and white screens. No audio. Nothing on the screen. I can't even turn it off. It started last night. I didn't notice anything strange before it happened.

    I haven't been able to actually troubleshoot it yet so if anyone has any tips on what to look for besides unplugging it and plugging it back in that'd be great!

    If it is gone for good then I'll likely be replacing it with an after market unit. I'd love your opinions on a better unit that can work with the stock speakers for now. Preferably something under $400. I'm tech savvy, know how to use Google and learn quickly

    Thanks for any help!

    Reset you computer buy taking the ground off of the battery for 10 min. See if that does anything.... I know its like unplugging it from the back but atleast this will rule out the computer.

    Any unit will work with your stock speakers, however the steering wheel controls will need an adapter i believe...

    Thanks for the quick reply! It seems to be working after doing what you'd suggested. I'm almost kind of disappointed. I wanted a legit excuse to give the girlfriend to justify buying a new system. Ah well.
