Answer
Hi Jose,

Sorry for this late response to your question.

You can try "resetting" your vehicle's head unit by temporarily disconnecting, then re-connecting your negative battery terminal. This often fixes stubborn issues in after-market car audio systems, so it's certainly worth a try in your case.  Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas beyond that, except for having the vehicle's head unit replaced.

Hope this helps!
