Weird Problem I've never seen addressed before

I decided to turn off the reverse beep. I followed the instructions I saw posted here, and it didn't work the first time (too much time between steps), then worked the second time.

The reverse beep was inaudable. AS WAS THE RADIO!

I was unable to turn ot on using the power or the mode buttons. When I pressed the audio button to switch my screen, all it said was "audio off", which make sense because it was off. I just couldn't turn it on.

I then turned the car off, then back on and the radio worked fine (and the reverse beep was still disabled). Worked ok the 3 or 4 times I used my car that day, then the next morning I drove somewhere without a problem (and did go in reverse), then went back into the car an hour later, turned it on (went in reverse) then had no radio (wouldn't go on).

Has this happened to anyone else? I've had it happen twice in about 10 turn ons since I silenced the reverse beep, compared to never in about about 200 turn on prior so I'm assuming there is a correlation.

I can't tell you if I had the radio on when I turned the car off (because I didn't expect the problem), but I put the car on reverse right after turning it on, then went to put the radio on (again I don't remember if I tried to do this while in reverse, or if it was after I put it in drive) and it didn't work no matter what I tried. In other words, it is not a sotuation where the radio is on then turns off when I go in reverse. If it happens again, I'll have more info, because I'm paying more attention to whether the radio is turned off when I turn the car off, and whether I'm trying to turn it on while in reverse or after I go back into drive.

I would be surprised if it was unrelated to the reverse beep, because it never happened before I made the change, and both times it happened since was in conjunction with going in reverse.
