Hi,
Anyone else have this happen?
The CD player/radio (non-MP3) in my 2006 Panda Dynamic often goes straight to Classic FM when I start the car, even though it's not on my presets nor ever listened to (honest!)
All my presets stations are saved but I don't understand why sometimes the station changes when I get in the car, and other times not.
Thanks!

Weird...is it tuning itself to the strongest signal or something?

Probably the car sensing the mood you're in and trying to calm you down with classical music

"Mood sensing radio" not something I remember seeing in the Panda's manual haha.

Oh yeah, the mood button! :idea: Didn't think to check that!!
(By the way, there is no mood button lol!)

It may be going for the strongest signal, it does seem to do it mainly when I'm at work (which doesn't have great signals) so seems possible. Good thinking!
I suppose it could be worse than Classic FM I guess...

This is down right dangerous!
The effects of Classic FM would result in instant narcolepsy and a nasty accident.

There is a fix, remove the headunit and adjust with repeated blows from a lump hammer.
Re set the unit with two pints of petrol and a zippo.

More serious, have you the Traffic Alert (T/A function) set?

My oem radio In my fiat punto MK2b does this, a little embarrassing when I gave someone from work a lift home and as soon as I turned the key classic came on ?

I think it's set, yeah. Would this explain it?
But WHY Classic FM!! lol
As said above, giving people lifts I have to explain my way out and it looks like a lie!

Thankfully mine has never done this. Strangely when the radio station I normally listen to plays a particular Coldplay song, it retunes itself away from that station and then goes back again when it's almost over. Lol.

If classic fm is the next station ''on the dial'' and you have a week signal so weak that the radio will go into seek mode then classic fm would be the next strongest single, that would be the one it chooses even though its not one of your pre set one's
Or get used to classic fm!
Mine does this when i lose radio 2.

Thankfully the stations I listen to are far away from Classic FM. Hopefully I'll never have to worry about that happening on mine.
