    Radio misbehavior..? Anyone..?

    Alright, I get the feeling that posting this is going to be about as effective as reporting a UFO sighting, but I'll give it a shot...

    While doing a short highway jaunt a couple of days ago, the (NAV) radio tuning changed by itself. It didn't switch presets or scan to the next station... it just moved up the band a notch without warning or coincidence to any driving events. I cycled the power on the radio, and exercised the tuning buttons on the head unit and steering wheel wondering if perhaps one was sticking... and everything seemed ok, so I re-selected the pre-set for the station I was listening to and went on...

    About 5 minutes later it happened again. Same circumstances. This time I pulled off the road ans stopped and re-started the car. There were no other obvious signs of trouble - all radio & steering wheel controls worked flawlessly.

    It happened one more time before I got home prompting me to shut it off in disgust and resign myself to the idea of having the dealer try to re-create and diagnose this sporadic misbehavior.

    That was three days ago. You guessed it - it hasn't happened since. Now I'm not about to panic over it, and nor will you hear me complain... but just out of curiousity, has anyone here seen this..?

    The ghost riding shotgun must not have liked what you were listening to...
