Default Is my Bose Radio toast?

I was driving into work a litte while ago and had the radio tuned to a sirius FM transmitted tuner. Out of nowhere it switches to a CD on it's own. I thought my passenger might have pressed something by accident or something but since I liked the song that was playing I just let it play. Well near the end of the song it skips to the next track. Then it plays for a few seconds and starts skipping tracks every second or two. I turn it off and on and it starts to swap to the radio on it's own. None of the buttons except the volume/power button seem to be working. It starts scanning stations, switched between presets, and did a some random stuff. I didn't have time to really look at it or mess with it for awhile. Anyone ever have this happen? Is my radio going out?

I'm thinking of pulling the fuse to the radio later. Think it will help? Any ideas? I tried turning the car off and on but it still acted whack. Man, I'm pissed.

Default If you have access to Vag-Com, scan the radio for codes but my

suggestion is to start looking for a used Sym I radio or Sym II or better yet go RNS-E.
