    NO LINK?
    It is either "hard-wired" to the radio or wirelessly connected. That "connection" has been interrupted.
    Owner's Manual could give you a clue about where to look, or perhaps if you are friendly with a tech at your local dealer, he could "help".

    Thanx Pur4, yes it is hard wired and I pulled the panel and found the harness that goes to the remote and I unplugged the closest pigtail and it shut down the main radio up front...

    With the key on, pull all of the radio fuses, turn key off, wait a few sec and put the fuses back. The bunk radio should sync again. It worked in my 2011 prostar

    ty very much, same deal came back from service with no link. was getting real annoying to have to get up and throw some pants on to go into the cab to turn alarm off. a couple places said to remove both radio fuses, I just turned the key to the on position with the radio on, removed F2-E 'entertainment radio memory', turned the key off, waited 20 seconds or so, popped it back in and turned the radio on using the bunk unit. worked like a charm. now i can continue being lazy in the morning lol. BTW mine is a '09 prostar your fuse assignment may be different, look before you pull. :biggrin_25514:

    you rock man... I have a little case of ocd, and hate when #### doesn't work. Pulling the fuse worked like a charm.

    Too cool!!!! It fixed mine and I fixed the flatbedder parked next to me.

    I had it to a dealer and they charged the company (international warranty dept) for a new bunk radio. Chances are that was the highest price fuse ever sold.

    Be safe drivers.
