Any way to make car selectable again after turning on car stereo?

Isn't there a hack on MTS2, by Numenor, that forces sims to turn off the car stereo when they exit?
Yes there is.
As for the selection issue, if you turn on the stereo there appears to be a kind of invisible object added that takes the click actions (walk with me here and forgive me the wrong terminology).
Play with camera angles to get beyond this and get the car menu back.
C.S.:
Yes, I've patched my game, it's the first thing I did after installing.
I was doing multiple dates at home and my sims had the wants to makeout/woohoo in the car, so I directed them to do so, and saw amongst the options available that they could turn on the car stereo, and being curious, I turned it on. I had noticed their teenage daughter was dancing solo to the music while waiting for her date to show up, then when one of the parents rolled up a 'Dance with sim' want, I x out the 'Sit in car' action to fulfil the want (crossing out dancing is faster than crossing out slow dance :P), then found out to my dismay they couldn't get back in it because it has become unselectable. It's like the car had turned into a humongous expensive stereo stretching across 5x8 tiles except there are no interactions available. Tried the same thing on 2 other lots, same thing happened. I feel the pinch for my sims as I've just had them get the car alarm installed :(.
I haven't tried turning the stereo on then off again before they get out, nor turning and leaving it on then wait to see if the car fixes itself when it's time for my sims to go to work. I'm gonna try both later. But in the meantime, is this a common bug, or some glitch only a few get? Or am I missing something that will re-enable my sims to get back in the car?
As for hacks, other than the Official Stuff in the Armory, most of TwoJeffs' (which I checked against JMP's list, which aren't many at the moment so I'm pretty sure I didn't d/l conflicting hacks), I have Crammyboy's NormalClothes; Merola's mind control mirror, multipainting; Inge's hiders, permafridge, days left shrub, no autonomy comp games, stay things shrub, teleporter painting/shrub plus; Monique's computer; Carrigon's safecounterfeit, voodoo bottle and no preg man (from) ufo.
Sagana:
From other peoples comments above, it sounds like a common glitch that I just haven't got yet. Odd, usually I get everything (case in point, I currently have too many gardeners, jumpiness, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a too many iterations meltdown here soon-like). Hope you can get it to select by going to work and/or turning it around to a different angle.
