Hi all, when driving home today my car radio suddenly went to its highest volume possible I'm surprised I didn't crash the car while driving, I tried to lower it back down but couldn't had to switch it off.

I'm driving a BMW with the BMW radio still in the car that came with it. When I got to a red light I turned off the car and back on but the radio was still at full blast.

Any ideas ? Electrical fault maybe?

Thanks
Neon

Thanks for the replies any idea what the head unit is and how much it would cost to replace if that was the issue? Sorry not very up on my cars

what model/year is it?

is it casette or CD, is there a CD changer? is there anything written on the front?

Casette with CD changer in the boot of the car business class or something like that. I must remember not to turn it on in the morning when going to work that would be some wake up call for sure...

Well the radio was back to normal this morning so not sure what caused it. Hopefully it wont happen again but thats probably unlikey.
