Can you explain the problem a little better?

Is the problem only in the radio?

You say the mile gauge is skeeeping... Do you mean the odometer is not reading correctly?

hi there
the problem isnt only with radio only
the gage for example is going to 60 miles and suddenly on that speed it comes back to 30 but RPM is still up and = to 60 miles.

wile driving the radio lights come and gose very quickly
i took the car to the dealer but still no answer from them

Looses connector or fuse.

The dealer wont find crap because he dont care, its a radio. Do this yourself trust me.

Sounds like something on the can-bus is loose.

The dealer should be looking very deeply into your car. If they are not willing to work on it, go higher in the chain. Start calling the DCX local rep with your complaint.

This sounds unsafe. You should complain of fears for your personal safety to the dealership, perhaps that will get them to do something.

:eek: HELP!! Same thing is happening to me. That is exactly how our problem started. Now, it has progressed to occassionally not starting, with all the gages going spastic, even when we turn the key off! It continues to be interrmittent. Has anyone any advise so that I am smarter when I take it to a different repair station?:
