Mute Button
Just noticed something annoying on the way home...
When I used the mute button on the steering wheel, it only stays muted for a few seconds and then the music comes back on again.
This has happened before, but normally it takes like 5mins before the music comes back on, which I figured was how it worked.
Can anyone shed any insight into this problem?

I would think the radio itself would be the issue. The mute button is telling it what
to do...but obviously the radio likes to dis-agree with ya!
IMHO - I think its an internal radio issue.

The buttons on the steering wheel work by a change in power going thru them if i'm not mistaken, and that only occurs when you push them down. If it'* muting it at all, the button is working, but the radio quits muting.
