My radio is out and doesn't work. fuses are good, also the wipers dont work and the adjustacle sterring wheel will move on it's own at times while I'm driving.
The little read out board in the dash no longer works.

The radio could be many things. The steering issue could be the memory module, to confirm the source of this issue, get a readout from the proprietary GT-1 software the the dealer uses. The display has a high failure rate and will possibly require replacement.
