Strange problem please help me

On my way to work today something very eerie occurred... My radio and AC turned on high and the controls for both just stopped working! Luckily I was able to use the steering wheel controls to turn down the radio, but for half an hour I was forced to drive with the AC on high! I even pulled over half way, shut off the car and restarted it. It was fine for about two minutes and then it did it again!

Wtf is going on! Is someone remote controlling my car or wtf

Has anyone else had this strange thing happen to them??

O.O

My warranty ended in april

I'll see if theyll do it as a repair in good will or whatever, but as sad as it makes me I might just have to buy a DD 7 inch screen to replace it

i've experienced only the head unit freezing (cant control volume etc) turning the car off then on clears it up

If turning off the car helps it, maybe draining all electricity might help "reset" whatever the problem is. I mean by unplugging the battery and leaving the lights on for a while, and then hooking it back up. I have no idea if that makes any logical sense because I'm not a mechanic, but that's something I would personally try since it would be so easy to try.
