Sony CDX M730 won't operate manually. Remote operates unit fine.

After all that you have done, it appears that something is wrong with the electronics of unit since a reset would not restore the electronics to proper operation. Try removing ALL power lines( should have 2 of them) and rebooting.

The directions to remove the Sony CDX-S2000 are in the operating manual, starting on page 15. You need the release keys that came in the original packaging before installation. The installation manual also shows these steps. First remove the front panel by pressing in on the bottom left corner. Then pull the panel towards yourself. This is shown on page 7. Next engage the release keys on sides of the protection collar. (Use the wide end of the keys oriented as shown in the picture). Pull out the keys to remove the protection collar. Reverse the release key and face the hook on each key towards the AM/FM/CD-player. Insert the keys together until you hear a click. Pull the keys out to unseat the unit. Now you can pull the unit out of the bracket.

Sony has the installation manual and the operating manual on the product site: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/mobile-cd-players-cdx-series/cdx-s2000 . The current link to the operating manual is https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/W000/W0002058M.pdf . The link to the installation guide is https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/W000/W0002059M.pdf .

I hope this helps. If you need the keys, I found apparent replacement keys for sale at Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Stereo-Radio-Removal-3-246-471-01/dp/B001DFTTDK .

Hi there,
Through the Sony support site for your model you can get the:

Installation Manual - with diagrams

I hope that helps.

Yes. This is a link to Sony for your CDX-CA900X operating instructions. Look on pages 13 & 14 for changing radio station w/o remote.

I don't see that as a valid model number on the Sony Site, but here is a page that has several CDX radios on the Sony Support Page. You may be able to find it there:

Perhaps something is not installed correctly physically. Sometimes if something is a little twisted the way the unit is installed it will keep it from opening properly. Try moving the unit slightly and see if that helps.

the cable is torn that connects the lcd to the headunit.
