    Intermittent Clarion CMD5

    So it seems that my Clarion CMD5 has gone on the fritz. Intermittently the volume will go all the way up OR all the way down. Once it does this, the unit is “locked” and most times the power button will not even work to turn it off (I have to disconnect power, ie turn off key, to turn off). I...
