Dealers! But you'd think a car radio would be something MG could manage.

I generally only listen to one station (Radio 3) but I have found others more or less by accident and they played too, so you may have found a unique bug that's all your own.
 
Mine keeps losing the DAB stations temporarily. I initially thought it was when I travelled out of the area of the local stations, but it happened today at home where I had programmed my favourite station in previously. On the radios screen, favourites list, the station is listed as unavailable.
Dab worked flawlessly on my old ZS which had a proper aerial. :(
 
The issue we have is that although it might show BBC Radio 2 on the screen, it is still playing Greatest Hits. No matter what it shows on the screen, the radio still only plays Greatest Hits.
I've had this issue a couple of times using DAB. The screen showed a change of station but the sound kept on merrily coming from the orginal station I had strated on. I could not even turn the radio off - the pause button on screen and steering wheel had no effect. I stopped briefly, got out of the car, got back in, to provoke a soft reset of the infotainment sytem and things went back to normal.

Yes I’ve had that problem. It’s been in to MG and I’m waiting for module upgrade. I keep getting the message “U disk identity failure “

We had this issue again this afternoon.

It happened to me once before, perhaps a month ago.

DAB radio station doesn't change even if the screen says you have switched to a different one.

Tried shutting the car down even but seemingly nothing could be done. Ended up playing music from a phone instead but it is a worry about the software.
 
if it's useful... dab on/off.

My DAB radio has suddenly decided to be extremely unreliable. It regularly refuses to change station, freeze or play nothing but static if it works at all. A soft reboot doesn't work, but turning the whole car off, leaving it for 5mins then on again fixes it. It worked pretty much OK before, other than occasionally requiring a switch back to FM then back to DAB to find a station. I wonder if there is some weird date related bug in the software/firmware that would explain people having issues all at once?
 
The DAB reception is a bit flaky along the coast here. At the weekend whilst listening to Classic FM it cutout and the car announced ' You were listening to music how about this' and then cut back to the station. WTF?
