Radio Possessed?

I have RX450H that has been acting really strange recently. When I have the radio on a number of things happen....randomly:

While listening to FM or Sat station the radio will change to an alternate pre-saved FM or Sat station, Aux (bluetooth) or to DVD.
- When this first happened it seemed always switch to DVD. So I took all DVDs out. This is when it started doing the above. Again, intermittently.
When the radio is on and I press the power button to turn it off, it toggles to either Sat, DVD or some other mode....after pressing the power button repeatedly it finally powers off.

Does anyone know what would cause this odd behavior from my radio?

I'd take a close look at the mode button on the steering wheel.

Aside from the radio itself being glitchy, other things could be sticky/shorted steering wheel buttons for Mode, Up, Down, or the enter button on the mouse/remote.
