Stereo radio freezes

[Smudger64]

Hi all hopefully someone can help. I have a 68 reg Octavia 1.0 SE Estate. Lately the radio has started freezing and no buttons will work cannot change volume or stations. Also cannot switch radio off even if I stop the car and remove the key. After about 5 minutes the radio turns itself off and then is useable again. If anyone has had the same sort of issues could you please let me know what you have done to rectify this fault Thanks.

Had a radio fault on my Fabia a few weeks ago.  The radio just froze and nothing on it would work.  Saw some advice on this forum which worked for me.  Just press and hold in the on off button for about 30 seconds.  This apparantly resets the radio.  All has been well since.
