Anyone having experience with a faulty RDS function? Mine never changes channel when travelling through station areas, It just keeps tuned into the station presetted, eventually, all I can hear is noise (of course). However, when listening to a nation wide channel (SR P3), the RDS function works fine, until a traffic message is broadcasted, the radio tunes into the local radio channel and I can hear the traffic message. But then the bloody thing never changes back to my original channel. I have to do that manually by selecting to another channel and back again.
Of course I've spoken to the dealer about this, the latest SW is installed, but no luck. According to them "that's how bad the radio is", seems to me as real bull shit.

maybe they screwed up the RDS when installing the AUX and IPod interface, pretty far fetched. But who knows?
