Radio Problem
I've done my search and have not found a similar problem.
I have a regular one cd head unit. There are two stations that do not get immediate signal. I live in the DC area and they are 95.5 and 99.1. I have both those stations programmed on my numbers.
When i click on them the signal immediately catches, then after 2 seconds it goes away, like it's searching or something. Then after like 3 minutes or so the signal finally catches.
Anyone ever heard of this??
This problem is only on these two stations, the rest of them work perfectly.
Something I just noticed today, I saw that when the signal does catch the TA thing is lit up on the right side of the display, maybe there is a hint there.
someone help.

Hey NSolano.....I too am having a similar problem with one particular station...starts to "comes in" and then radio goes silent. If I manually turn to the station I am OK. Would also appreciate input.

miine worked fine this morning. I think it has to do with the TA option on the radio. TA is the option that searches for traffic, or other signals. I think it turned on when I went to those stations, so it would search for other signals. I pushed and held the button for it for about a minute last night and now it seems fine. I dunno if that fixed the problem completely though. I will check this afternoon, if not then off to the dealership this saturday.
