Default My radio has lost its mind

or it's possessed. Went to town earlier today, everything worked fine. Went tonight and my radio has gone nuts. The time on the clock just keeps running through the minutes (hour does not change) and none of the station info shows. If you hold down the hour and minute button, the station info comes back, as long as you hold it it stays there. When you release them it makes one chirp and goes back on it's rampage through the minutes.
Also the radio controls on the steering wheel have decided to take a vacation. It was all working, including steering controls, when I parked it earlier today.

I do not have the code for it and mine must be hooked up to a Tech 2 to get it. I'm not sure if I can disarm it or not since it's gone nuts, haven't tried. If I can get it disarmed, I may disconnect the battery and see if that will reset everything.

Any ideas?

Well the gremlins had left this morning and everything was working right again - for now. I'd almost bet I'm looking at replacing the BCM soon.

Had a friend come look at it the same day as my last post to this (thought I had updated it, guess not) anyway, he said it was definitely my radio and it was stuck in clock mode and that I needed a new radio. I've just lived with it for now, gotta have the $$ first.
It decided to work right today, LOL, but who knows about tomorrow. Hopefully it unstuck itself and will continue to behave. Fingers and toes crossed
