Also I cant seem to get access to te radio. Please help. Thanks andy.

If both AM and FM are tuning on the display, suspect an antenna problem. You will also have normal static / buzzing on AM. If there's no sound at all on AM or FM, that is a radio problem.

Look for four small holes on the sides of the face plate. If you have those, special tools are needed to pull the radio out. Otherwise the front trim panel will typically snap off if you pull on it, then there will be screws holding the radio in.
