Technical Radio not responding.

[W Bakker]

Hey all,
Today my radio stopped responding to all inputs from the radio itself and the buttons on the steering wheel. I have a wireless receiver plugged in to the back of it but haven't had any problems with it for the past 2 years. Any ideas?

Had something in my Stilo years ago. Wouldn't turn off. Disconnected battery for some time and all was well again.

Could also be a sign of a failing battery?

Hey all, I tried disconnecting the battery but to no avail.
Turns out my mom cleaned the dashboard yesterday and some soapy water managed to get into the radio's front panel.
I removed the radio from the car and took off the front panel. Hit all the buttons with a hair drier for 5 minutes and put it all back together and it's all working again!
I hope this info will be useful to anybody having the same issue in the future!

Thx! Must've been a lot of water.
