The infotainment system in my Volvo stopped working a couple weeks back and I thought maybe it was a fuse. Replaced the fuse and it started working again but that wasn't the problem.
The LCD display malfunctioned again and the radio stopped working, but the next day was working again.
Conclusion: we've been having a lot of rain and high winds lately so I figured some water got in somewhere and was shorting something out and that it just needed some good weather and a chance to dry out.
It's been working fine since but I notice some new MP3s that play on my home stereo won't play in the Volvo and supposedly it's because of a malformed LAME header and there is some app that you can download to repack the MP3s without re-encoding them to fix the problem. I'll probably try that but I need a new tire first.
