Hi,

It's perhaps a faulty unit. Try disconnecting the power to the unit for 15+ minutes then back on again. Also, currently isn't there a mode button where you can switch to AM/FM?

Cheers, Dennis!

Dennis,

There is a mode button but it doesnt change it back to radio, and ive tried disconnecting the battery, taking out fuses, everything, and its still on tape when i turn the car back on.

Hi,

You can either;

1. Find another head unit that's known to be working and swap that in (if it's an OEM one)
2. Spend money on the current unit and see if it can be repaired/overhauled.
3. Upgrade to a modern head unit.
4. Make a 'project' and use a Raspberry Pi/Arduino mini PC, Android Tablet, full Car PC type install.

Cheers, Dennis!
