A BBC conspiracy?!

Have been meaning to ask this for ages on the board, haven't heard anyone else have this problem. My head unit in the CC (standard clarion) is giving me grief!

The problem is with the station pre-sets on the radio, they all work fine and stuff, as long as I don't play a CD. As soon as I play a CD I loose my first preset station, which is always XFM. Well when I say loose it actually changes to Radio 2 every time! and its not even close in frequency! It is really weird, seems like Pug and the BBC are in alliance

Anyone had anything else similar?

:rolleyes:

The same is happening to me! I keep losing my first station which is Heart FM and it keeps reverting back to BBC2 :x

I'll go find other messages relating to this!

Yeah have had a look around and can see only one post about it, wih no conclusion.

Surelly it isnt just a fault with the unit? Doesn't help if RDS is on or off either?

Yep I just had a search too and found others having the same problem but guess only solution is to take car and get the unit replaced? :rolleyes:

I have the same problem on mine - I find that if I leave it on CD when I leave the car at night, it loses the preset and reverts to radio 2. I retune it to Heart, using any memory number - it shows all 6 buttons already tuned to Heart. It doesn't seem to do this if I leave the car on CD during the day, and go back to it later and change to radio. Perhaps it's something to do with the date in the radio?

We have problems with Capital Radio. Have come to conclution that when radio cannot find a strong signal on a preset it retunes to the next nearest signal and annoyingly changes the preset. This is not usually a problem for national signals because the next nearest strong signal will usualy be the same station fom a different transmitter hense the problem with captal where we are on the edge of the braodcast area.

Why it does this and whether it is intended to do this I don't know

I suppose the answer is to always listen to Radio 2, then it won't disappear.

I've given up trying to preset the radio, i always end up with it being cleared and i'm lucky if i even get bbc2 normally i just get static.

Peugeot have had major problems with their radios for a few years now.
I had probs with my last pug and so did other friends and family.
Pug attempted everything from fitting new aerials to fitting new head units and fiddling with wires but as usual nothing worked!
In the end I grinned and put up with it until I came to sell the car!

my 1st 106 had a radio that packed in and was replaced.

my 3rd 106 had a radio that nearly went on fire. i refused a straight replacement and insisted on an upgrade which i was supposed to pay about Â£60 towards - then conveniently forgot to pay it

then my 1st CC had the radio 2 problem.

all problem ones have been clarion - obviously crap quality.

just buy a decent head unit and replace the poor speakers
