    Recently had problems with my radio in my 2015 Freightliner Corando. The only button that worked was the power button. That allowed me to switch between functions ie; CD, Bluetooth, radio...

    I stumbled across a way to fix this, and wanted to share. For whatever reason, it reset itself after using a USB cord to try plugging my phone into it. It wouldn't read it to be used by the USB function, but everything started working again.

    I threw mine out and replaced it with a Pioneer and replaced front speakers for under $150. As much as we spend on trucks they put in the worst radios.

    Turning the battery switch off has always fixed the problems I've encountered. My short term memory escapes me as to what they were. As I left the truck over 2 years ago.
