Radio frequency changes

Postby transit glx pete » Sun Apr 28, 2024 6:21 pm

Hi all. Anyone have any ideas? Every time I get in the van, the radio has switched itself over to MW frequently. I have to change the source back to DAB. But it happens every time I get out and lock the van.
Cheers.

It’s a single battery and it’s fully charged. The thing doesn’t make sense

Are both the 12v live and 12v accy supplies on the radio good/fitted.?? One keeps the radio settings alive when you're not using it.

All the stations are still in the memory, phone pairs, time and date all correct. It’s just chances itself to MW?

I know what you mean my radio sometimes does odd things and the heating with the controls not been moved puts the aircon on and recirculation on as it likes that’s the downside of modern technology everything controlled by little black boxes not like the old days when you used switches to set everything
