Default PCM Automatically Changing Channels

My stereo has started randomly switching to a different station. Same one every time, and it does it when on multiple other radio stations or listening to CDs. I will eventually take it into the dealer but the problem doesn't occur consistently enough to ensure they will be able to replicate it. Anyone had this occur and know what the fix is?

I believe that's the "traffic program" feature changing stations for you. You should be able to disable it in one of the audio configuration menus.

I will try that, but it always switches to the same Tejano station (which makes it a bit amusing) and there isn't any traffic information on it.

I've also noticed my car switching to a Houston Tejano station each time the car is started. Let me know if you find out what's causing this (and can make it stop!)

Same thing happened to me a while ago; dealer claimed a satellite broadcast had enabled the traffic program. They disabled it, problem went away.

Unchecking the traffic program seems to do the trick. It sounds like this stations is regularly broadcasting whatever code causes the radio to automatically switch stations for a traffic update.
