FM radio station changes
- Thread starter notsure11

I’ve only had this happen when I’m on a HD channel other than the primary one. One of my favorite stations is on HD-2 and there have been times when I get back in the car and it’s no longer on that channel. I’ve never noticed it when on a normal FM or HD-1 channel.
i see this sometimes but there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when it happens vs when it doesn't. i have noticed though that it almost always starts on one of my podcasts after a software update (i have xm installed so i'm almost always leaving the car with it on an fm station)
I don't think I'm doing that. It happens repeatedly, so I doubt it. Besides, it switches from 88.5 FM to 107.7 FM. I only have one station saved as a favorite, which is 88.5.
I did just notice, even though I listen to 88.5 in HD, when I looked at the list of Favorite stations, it didn't say HD. I un-starred the channel and then re-starred it. Now, on the list of Favorites, 88.5 shows up as HD. Not sure if this will fix the problem or not.

On the Model S, the
Scroll wheel doesn't change station, it adjust volume. To change stations, its the button above or below the scroll wheel

On the 3, there’s only a scroll wheel. BUT, it is also a button you can press in, or move left or right. Left/right on the left scroll wheel cycles through favourites. Scrolling up/down controls volume. Pressing it mutes/unmutes.
The right scroll wheel is for TACC speed adjustment (scroll up/down) and follow distance (left/right). Press is for voice command.

Casmium, are you listening to streaming via wifi when you are in your garage and the wifi signal is lost with distance, then cellular picks up a minute later?
I think I figured out what the problem is. Today, I looked at the screen as soon as I got in the car to see what was happening. It not only changed the radio station, but the map was just dancing around like crazy and the radio volume went up. It was probably changing from 88.5 to 107.7, because when you press Backward button from 88.5, it goes to 107.7 FM.
It looks like I'm having what's known as the phantom touch problem on my screen. Ugh. It seems to happen whenever I first get in the car. But today, it also happened while driving -- I was listening to the FM radio and then it randomly switched to another internet radio station, which was a favorite icon on the screen.
Anyone have experience getting this phantom touch problem fixed by Tesla?

A couple of years ago the two days after an update, my car was jumping to different stations. But the stations were all Favorites. Each time I got in the car it would move to another. Well, while its nice to have Favorites selected, I only listen to one 99% of the time, so I cheated the media player. I removed all the Favorites so there was only one selected. It could not jump to another. A couple days later, I selected two previous Favorites and pinned them. The problem had solved itself. Why? How? Got no idea.
