Default non functioning steering wheel radio controls

Over the last few months I've some problems with the steering wheel radio controls. The source button wouldn't change am/fm/ipod etc... Then the station up would intremittantly work.
I had my Z at the dealer yesterday for some warrenty work ( fuel sender and ripped driver door weather seal) so asked them to take a look. While they were checking the controls, the volume toggle was raising the volume when it was toggled down to lower it!
They tried to blame the aftermarket head unit (Pioneer AVIC) but it worked fine for a year and a halve!
So it's beeing looked at today and I was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem and what was the outcome?

Got the Z back and all works well now. He told me they took apart the controls, put them back together and it works fine now . Didn't fix it , but got it working. The diagnosis so far is " ghosts in the machine" . I don't care really as long as it works. And if it craps out again it will be a Nissan warrenty issue .

I've had the same issue with mine...they have "looked" at it three times, but as always...they say there isn't an issue. I am so frustrated with it I don't know what to do. Not a big Nissan fan these days...failed steering lock that cost me $1000.00 and my brakes make a squeeking noise that they can't resolve either.
