Do you work or drive through a cemetary?

Honestly, I don't have the slightest clue. My only guess would be you have a stuck/loose button or one of your wires might have a bad connection.

HAHA! I know what you mean!

The other day i was at work on my lunch break. I turned the radio on and after a couple of minutes the volume went down by itself.

I look at it and turned the volume up and almost inmediately the volume turned down again. And i was like "wtf is wrong with you?"

Well it has not happen again but it was weird.

Mine still has the factory radio/6 disc changer!!

If it is the same year and type, sure. If it were me I would replace it and get better sounds all at the same time

You could find a priest and have an exorcism done.

I got a wacky cousin who got diagnosed as being possessed by her church a few years back. They called in like 2 priests and a cardinal who performed an exorcism.

Then they handed her a whopping bill for the service that she couldn't afford to pay, so they REPOSSESSED her...










just kidding... get you a good aftermarket head unit...

HAHA that was pretty good there hammer..its almost half tempting lol it did it again on my way home tonite..i just dont understand it..

What do you think is the difference of an aftermarket vs stock?..i got the infinity sound right now and i think it sounds way better than my last truck did with aftermarket stereo and speakers..
