My radio along with my reverse camera is not working, my radio was coming on while not in park but now it works in drive a few days ago but day before yesterday it stopped working all together. My back up camera doesn’t work, anymore either. This is ridiculous that nobody thinks it’s important for this to be happening, who wants a car that doesn’t work all the way if you trying to sell it, what can be done
