Intermittent stereo fault - skipping about / ghost button presses

[jengledow]

I replaced the stereo in my 2015 VW T5.1 with a discover media head unit a couple of years ago and it's recently started playing up - it will occasionally start skipping about like someone is pressing buttons randomly. If i turn it off and on again it keeps happening, but leaving it for a few hours / overnight seems to fix it, until a few days later when it'll happen again - it renders the stereo useless as at best I can't see the sat nav screen, but at worst it skips tracks / radio stations and tries to ring people!

Has anyone come across anything like this and can you recommend anything I can try to fix it? Thanks.

Hi my radio has started to jump radio stations, touch screen doesn’t respond and it’s driving me mad.
Is it fixable or a replacement a better option?

Thanks for any help

I had the screen replaced and it’s working well again!

For others, there is a long thread on this forum which included DIY screen replacement.

Is there a unplug and plug in straight swap replacement available at a reasonable price?
