radio malfunction
I have a 2005 C6, everything seems to be perfect,
except for the radio. Sometimes, when I start the
car, the radio light will come on, but there will not be
any music on any band, or CD. When I push scan, no
stations are picked up. If I turn off the car and wait for
30 minutes and start it up again, the radion will turn on.
Any ideas?
Please respond to rbhirsch1@verizon.net
Thanks

Condition
Some customers may comment about one or more of the following conditions:
