Also, not sure what the cut-off year was for the CIC upgrade, but the older systems had a module in the trunk that was notorious for going bad. It is a big white box under the spare tire (below the foam insert). I believe some folks have had issues with the satellite radio module mucking things up as well. It can be bypassed with a fiber-optic (loop) adapter.
Thanks for the info.
This is the CIC unit and I have checked power and fiber optic to the radio and amp. That other box in the trunk I think it is the sat radio and telephone is also in the fiber optic loop for the MOST. I have ordered the test loop to bypass that to test.

My fear is still the radio.
