I keep getting this strange FM radio station appear!

[Cocijo]

It appears at random - I hope it’s not rude! Nothing broadcast - that I can hear anyway.

That's not a radio station, it's the UK method of over the air software upgrades

Is it a message appearing when you update the sat nav?

I’ve not touched the satnav. It just randomly tunes itself to that ‘station’ on the radio.

 

[Gomev]

It's trying to tell you something, not sure what tho'

 

[Cocijo]

 

[ARealHuman]

Pirate station?

 

[Cocijo]

Yes - they are my thoughts - there’s no transmission as far as I can tell.

 

[Cocijo]

I’m still getting strange random radio stations appear! Here’s another one. The radio doesn’t seem to hold the last station selected after a car restart (I usually have Radio 4).

 

[jamesie]

Do you get any sound or is it just the display?

 

[Cocijo]

Just white noise

 

[Kithmo]

It's haunted.

 

[Cocijo]

I’m beginning to think so

 

[jamesie]

Sounds like a software fault.

 

[ARealHuman]

I wonder if it's other devices transmitting that your car is picking up? For example, my TV has a remote that works via RF (not IR!) so perhaps something like that is interfering with it. Radio Ham or CB radio? Or it's a software fault .

I blame 5G
