    Hi,
    Many options there, stating you know how to remove the radio and re-enter
    the code if needed.
    Option 1 : remove it and give some contact cleaner (may worth a try).
    Option 2 : replace the button, with something similar to this one

    Option 3 : replace radio unit.

    Sourcing the accurate potentiometer could be a real pain, as there are many
    types : off at full left (like an ordinary wireless), single or double (for
    some stereo use, you have 6 ou 8 pins out of them instead of 3-4, they are
    easy to identify), push on/off... but you may take your chance. I guess
    having an ordinary switch off ain't a hell.

    Eeeer, perhaps you have some kind of specific button, too. Anyway you'll
    have to open the radio to find it out.

    HTH,
