Hi Everyone! New to the forum. I found this site quite interesting. I have a 2001 A6 2.8 Quattro. I like everything about my Audi. But just last week, I start noticing that everytime I start the car, the radio station changes frequency on me. It moves about 0.1 up on the FM dial. Doesn't matter which station I'm on. Anyone know why? Everything else works great.

Sounds odd, but I'd live with it, if it were my car. Then again, if it was changing to several notches up from it's last station all the time, then I'd probably be bitchin', too!

 

Wow, I'm new here and already found someone in common!

Our '00 A6 just started doing this too. It is sporatic, though. But it is the same symptom, .1 on the FM dial. It is going in for some warranty stuff this week so you made me remember to write it down for them. Thanks!

Good luck on getting it fixed. I'll post back what they say.

Ok, anyone with this issue under warranty, take it in. I added this to my list of 9 things for the dealer to check. They said it was a "common issue" and replaced the radio.
We also received a new center console display, new window switches in the rear, new front control arm per recall, new valve cover seals, had the dash wiring recall performed, and some other stuff done. Thank goodness for warranties, that was a 5 page visit.

I'm having that problem too with my new (to me) A6 2.8Avant. It started as soon as I turned off the 'RBDS", which displays the station call letters, type of music, etc. i don't know which is more annoying - having the stations change, or putting up with a rolling banner ad for the radio station.

 

Check that......actually mine's doing the same thing whether the 'RBDS' is on or off. One more thing on the 'fix' list.
