Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Outcome without a verified action link
Yep, that seems to have fixed the problem for me.

POST 1Original post

Am I doing to something wrong? The radio will RANDOMLY change stations. I will be listening to a song and PCM decides something else is better for me and boom, I go from rock to rap. I have also noticed sometimes it will again randomly go from CD to radio, without warning. Am I doing something, what gives here? Oh yeah...the volume. Not sure if this is in my head but sometimes it seems like its all over the place, again without me touching it. That one MIGHT just be in my head though.

POST 2Original post

I thought that mine was doing it too, until I realized exactly what was going on. With traffic alert selected, it would automatically change when a radio station sent out the right signal. Since I turned it off, I haven't had that happen at all. Keep in mind, I believe there have been reports of defective PCM units doing this. I think I'd check the traffic setting first.

POST 3Original post

That sounds reasonable, let me look into it. Of course I have never actually got a traffic alert, its always just music. Thanks for the help.

POST 4Original post

I've also read that PCM gets confused with the RDBS option sometimes. That may be a root of it as well. Good luck!

POST 5Original post

happened to me today and i was pissed..but i figured it out..the traffic alert.turn it off and its fine

POST 6Original post

Yep, that seems to have fixed the problem for me. Just not used to this feature...if it were and actual traffic announcement I would have got it, but it was just switching to different music.

POST 7Original post

Glad I could help. I haven't had it happen once since I deselected that option.

POST 8Original post

LOL mine goes from classic rock to rap too. Porsche put to much A.I in my CS and would rather listen to 50 cent than the Rolling Stones
