Radio uncontrollable

I have had an issue with my radio for the past two days, It started last night when I went out for a ride, the radio came on real loud(where I left the volume from the afternoon when the windows were down) and I was unable to turn it down. As a matter of fact I was unable to do anything to it. Couldn't shut it off, change channels, adjust volume or anything else. There was a red flashing light just about the right knob. This morning the radio was ok. This afternoon, the same thing, radio blasting away and absolutely no control over it. I pulled the fuse and it seamed to reset it and the radio was ok for the trip home from work. I made a quick stop along the way and as I was walking back to the car which was off including the lights, I noticed the right driving light was on, nothing else. Since then the radio issue has happened several times, always with the red flashing light about the right knob.

Is my CS possessed? Any one have similar problems?

Right driving light might be because the right blinker was left on (a feature not a problem). I don't think the radio issue has been reported before.

Do the front driving lights flash with the turn signals??? I guess thats possible I did take a right turn into the parking lot.

Is the number 666 in your vin #? Take your car to the dealer.

Have you considered to abandon the standard route, i.e.,mechanic - electronics guy, etc. and look for an EXORCIST?

I finally got my CS into the dealer this week to look at the radio, its been real bad lately, locked up for about 4 days now. They did everything they could think of, loaded an update to the software for the amplifier, disconnected the battery, checked codes, nothing worked. They called Porsche Tech and they said they hadn't seen anything like it either. Porsche told them to go ahead and replace the radio. So I have to live with it for a few more days until the new radio comes in.
