The Faceplate actually contains microprocessor circuitry which controls the HU. If the contacts get dirty, or misaligned, it don't work. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
well, thank you very much. cleaned the contacts and voila it works. thanks again Jim!

Interesting. I'm on my third radio in three years. The selection knob quit working properly. I'll have to try this. I do like the styling of the radio and would hate to replace it as it seems to go so well with the rest of the car. I cannot stand that chromey LED stuff with dolphins jumping around or laser light shows. I was surprised last time I replaced the radio in that the local Porsche dealer sold remanufactured units for $280 which included a two year warranty. Half of some of the internet sources.
