Driving last night, radio was working and then stopped and the display only said PHONE. Went to start car this morning and the battery was dead. We replaced the battery and the radio display still says PHONE and it won't come on. Any ideas? Is this an electrical issue or can it be reset since the battery has been replaced?

Mine did the same thing after I jumped my wifes car. The day after I was driving and the car just died. The radio said the same thing. I replaced the battery and it still would not run. Finally took it to the dealer and found out there is a safety diode in the ignition computer that will blowout most likely if you jump someone. They replaced it and also the alternator. Did you jump another car recently before this problem came up?
