RNS-510 Radio jumping stations

[Nevermind]

Issue was worse this weekend. 4 out of about 6 starts of the car and the radio changed to Nova.

Is Nova the first preset on FM?

[Nevermind]

Nova previously had been position 3, but has now been removed from all the preset options.

Starting to suspect me and the car have different tastes in music

Should be getting a service in a few months, I will get them to flash the unit and see if that helps.

Have you tried a reset Top left two buttons and top right all at once.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm wondering if anyone has a solution?

My radio sometimes jumps to NOVA when I start the car. Very occasionally it will jump while driving.
I only really listen to Triple J (99.3) and had that in position 6. NOVA was set to position 3 and that is where it would jump too. I changed position 3 to also be Triple J. Fixed..... for about a week, now it just skips all presets and still jumps to NOVA.

Previously I had tried to turn off all the traffic/TP options.

I don't use the cd/dvd or memory card as input, but I do use Bluetooth sometimes and it hasn't ever changed from that to NOVA.

Was playing with mine the other day and found a setting for always go to favourite TP station So if that is enabled and you are on a different station and are in the area of the fav one or its strength is strongest it may decide to change to it.
Worth a look anyway. I have TP unticked so it doesn't appear.

My RNS510 randomly changes to Hope FM or something like that on startup (at least that's when I notice it). I thought it was something to to with TP and fiddled the settings and thought it was fixed but it still randomly does it.

I wouldn't call my problem often, sometimes twice in a week then not for a month... it seems totally random.

The sad part is when I find myself sining along to some crappy song I feel dirty just knowing the words too

Hey I had the same problem , but I fixed the issue after re-setting Radio to factory state. I have other problem now
; station list wont stay programmed . They clear every time car turns off. Any ideas why?

Sounds like it's not getting permanent power when you turn off the car. Something that is hard to do with the quadlock connector handing everything. I'd be probing the wires to ensure it's getting power when the car is off.

Is it a factory install or aftermarket?

[kamold]

The user data like radio presets, previous nav destinations etc are stored in EEPROMs.
They don't need power. If you take the RNS out of the car and then put it back in it should remember the settings.
So if settings are being lost there may be a problem with unit itself.
