shaneth did you goto highway or austral?

Really Ryan. I went to Highway. I told them i had read english forums and that this seems to be a problem over there. I actually didnt think they would do anything about it, then when turned up to pick up the car from service they said they ahd ordered the new box and that they would rather replace it then strip it down. No complaints from me.

you are extremely lucky shane!!!!!! what voodoo did you do to them?? hehe

**shaneth** · 25-05-2007, 05:08 PM

i dont know the only tihng i can think of is the guy who recommended me there has spent heaps there, 4 transporters, 4 caddys, tourage (spelling), 5 or 6 golfs. So that may have something to do with it.

PROBLEM - Radio
DESCRIPTION - When listening to preset 5(Nova) when I flick stations and come back to prest 5 I hear snippets of classical music from another station. It will cut in and out randomly. It also happens when I start the car after work sometimes. It says Nova but plays AM music...
FIX - ?

I had exactly the same problem with my radio - kept blanking out on Nova and then at times would pick up completely different radio frequencies. Took it back to the dealer and they were able to do a software upgrade on the radio - hasn't done it since!

I found it was tuning itself to 92.9 instead of 96.9. So I reset it to another station and then back to Nova and its fine now.
