DAB

[Deep purple]

I select Radio 4 on DAB and then randomly the radio decides to flip to FM. I reset it to DAB and it works fine for a short while and then flips to FM again. Never had this happen on any car I have owned before. Is it my car or does it happen to other people? I can’t find any way to make DAB the default setting.

I have that exactly DAB, then switches to FM but playing the same station, I thought it may be a signal problem on DAB so switches . Dose yours stay on the same radio station?

Seems on on my ZS EV it doesn't do that

If the radio is the same or similar to the unit in the MG4 I found it the most unreliable radio I have ever experienced (I can remember valves and they worked). It would not start, or start and then stop on DAB more often than work. Maybe they have enhanced it on the MGS5 to switch to FM when DAB cuts out?

The DAB signal is so poor on mine I just use FM now. Far more reliable. Might be something to do with the aerial being incorporated into the heated rear window element. Never had it on cars with a proper aerial.

Mine keeps the same station so it is probably if the DAB signal is weaker than FM it defaults to the strongest one.

DAB technically should be able to deliver a better signal than FM and carry more info, but in my experience FM in the real world is still better.

The radio on my partner's MGS5 defaults to FM every time and it is very annoying. Came here to see if there was a solution, but guessing it's an MG thing.
