CD deck not working properly HELP!

Hey guys i just started having this problem so if anybody can save me a trip to the dealership that would be a great help. I had to get my 08 F150 XLT boosted the other morning cuz it was 35 below here and i forgot to plug in. After the boost the CD deck went all wonky. Its the standard 6 disc deck with aux, phone, cd, and am/fm options. The am and fm radio worked all right but when i tried to get to my sat 1 option by pressing AUX it stayed on the radio. I finally was able to get to my sat 1 option by going to CD first then pressing aux but then i couldnt change any channels on my satelite radio. Also my RBDS function wont work either. I'm wondering if there is a master reset for the deck. I havent really got time to take my truck in to get that looked at so if anybody has any ideas i would appreciate it.

p.s. i've already tried disconecting and reconecting the battery

This will sound a little silly but did you try to power the deck off by pushing in on the volume button then powering it back on? That's the only reset that I'm aware of. It sounds just crazy enough to work.

Good luck.

Did you pay your Sirius bill? Sounds like a warranty issue otherwise.
