2012 LR4 Radio Problems. Changing Sources

[Dawk]

Have a 2012 Lr4. My head unit (sound system) keeps on changing sources own it’s own. The sound works but I cannot stop it from changing sources. I have tried to reset the system, changed the battery, and tried swapping the head unit (cd receiver). I still have not solved the issue.

Any ideas or help? I appreciate it.

There's a button in the steering wheel that will change sources. Are you accidentally hitting that button while driving, or has some contaminant gotten into that button?

My steering wheel buttons are starting to go wonky.

For a while now, once in a blue moon when I would increase or decrease the volume it would go in larger increments than I pushed (I press it once, volume would go from 9 - 13)

On my most recent road trip my car started skipping music all on its own. This hasn’t happened again though. I think the steering wheel controls on our vehicles can get a little wonky.

Easiest solution (garnered from my stereo rebuilding days) is to spray some DeOxit in the switches to clean them out.

Is there a way to disconnect the steering wheel controls from the head unit? Or do I have to access them from the steering wheel?
