Odd radio behavior after car sitting for awhile

04 TSX with Navigation.

About 10 months ago, I realized my rack and pinion was shot and needed to be replaced. I had become a remote worker before the pandemic so was already using my car much less. I let it sit for quite some time and just recently got it repaired and running.


After being repaired and entering codes for radio and navigation, it began cycling through FM, AM and CD functions at startup and I couldn't stop it until the navigation system came on. Also now I can't set the time on the dash like I used to be able through the navigation system menus. I have a GROM bluetooth unit installed and it still works but the initial cycling is a bit annoying along with the clock issue. Anyone else experienced this before or perhaps know where I might look for further research?


What I have tried so far
• Disconnecting the battery and going through process again
• Looked into the diagnostic menu.
- that did show the date as 2001/02/23 which was odd
- advancing the time there yielded no change



Thanks to anyone who can guide me in the right direction!

My old 99 Acura TL and some newer 4G TLs (2009-2014) have had issues with radio buttons "sticking" in the "down" position.
You can't visually see which one is down because the mechanism is internal.

Perhaps you have this same situation. Press some buttons to attempt to un-stick them.
