Default Radio changes channels when turn wheel?

Has anyone had problems with the Nav system changing radio channels when the steering wheel is turned? If so what was the corrections. My dealer will not work on it until they experience the problem. 2008 427 z06.

I only have that problem when my fat little hands accidentaly hit the buttons . . . Watch yourself and see if that is not what you are doing!

Safe Guy: I do not think so, I have heard that from the dealer too. It is not consistant, but does happen. There is no guarantee this is not happening but the dealer has gotten approval from the district rep for GM and they will check it out.

I agree I think you are bumping the steering wheel buttons. Are you getting the next saved station on the radio band you are listening too?

I've done that before, and it's kind of funny because that's the only time that I even think about those little buttons.
