I was driving my 02 ttX50 listening to FM with all buttons preset. As I drove by the local fire station (?irrelevant) all 12 preset FM channles instantly changed to different stations, including the one I was listening to. I thought the radio had lost power momentarily, except that the preset AM channels were not affected. Any ideas? Anyone else have this happen? Thanks AS

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.

Hi, I believe you experienced a radiated immunity problem with your car's onboard audio system. When driving by a RF transmitter, the RF energy will couple into the car's harness and into all connected electonics, in this case your headunit. It is a problem experienced with most car electronics to varying degrees. You can also experience a similar problem if you happen to drive by TV towers or high powered FM transmitters, since the field strength (volts/meter) can be extremely high. Unfortunately, I have to deal with this on a daily basis, since I design OEM audio systems for Porsche and it is a difficult problem to deal with in a vehicle. <img src="graemlins/yltype.gif" border="0" alt="[typing]" />
