I have no code card in my Glove box. Sometimes when I get into the car (2012 Fiat 500 POP) The radio will be on(lite up and stations showing) but no sound. then after a period, of time, it varies. The sound will then come on. At the same time my Bluetooth doesn’t work. Does the radio have to be pulle from the Dash to disconnect the power, or will disconnecting the battery work the same ?
