Radio resets on start-up

f10inSD · 03-13-2014, 01:15 PM

So the last few days when I start my car the radio is on a random station and NOT the last preset I had it on.

Anyone else have this happen? I sure hope the car isn't going to start with programming issues.

Mine does this about half the time.. Always to a Spanish language station! I have not been able to figure out any pattern to it. I have it on my list for the next dealer visit. Hopefully someone here has a solution.

I've noticed that every couple of months, upon a cold start, my radio also strangely starts up on a non pre-programmed station. When this occurs, it seems to default to 87.7 FM, which is the beginning of the FM frequency band and also happens to be a Spanish station in my neck of the woods.

Although it's not enough of an annoyance to mention to my service advisor, I'm curious if either of you have found any resolution to the problem...

Thanks.
