Radio Problems (Not the volume issue)

Last week my stock radio started having an issue where the radio station will jump around at random... for example, if I'm on 93.7, it will jump to 93.5 or 93.9. Taping the display screen puts it back in it's place temporally (which also seems to work to temporally fix the volume issue), but it doesn't fix it permanently... not that I would expect it to. Just curious if anyone else has had this problem?

 

it happened to me twice on different days. I was going to take it in under warranty, but it hasn't happened again for months now.

Mine did the same thing a few months ago ~ see link above. When I was troubleshooting it, I thought I'd turn the knob on the right thinking perhaps it was stuck inbetween "detents". Once I did this, it never happened again. Of course, it was January of this year when it happened last but it's been 4 months. Knock on wood. Give it a try.

 

I think I understand what you're talking about. I don't remember having it in my truck, but potentiometers with the 'detents' on them are known to do that kinda thing often. I doubt theres anything you can do about it, or toyota for that matter.

 

I've had this problem a couple of times but it looks like it stopped. I asked the dealer about it, they said if it continues they will replace it for me.

 

Yep, mine did it, had it warranty replaced, no problems now.

 

Maybe the truck is trying to tell you you're listening to the wrong music

 

Kinda what I thought, but it didn't seem to help for me.

I hope not, it's bad enough that the girlfriend always changes the station
