Radio Problems

[Silversalmon]

Hi Guys, don't know if this is common or not, not a real ballbreaker but....every few minutes when i am listening to the radio there is a en electronic disturbance and some other station plays for a fraction of a second. It's a 2005 IS300 sportcross. No other errors such as the ERR3 code thank god but it is quite annoying. Does anyone know anything about this problem. Doesnt appear to be related to bumps or potholes as ive heard it when stationary! Thanks for any thoughts.

Does it happen when listening to different stations? Also does it do it when you drive along the same stretch of road or are close to a particular area of town? The reason I ask is because the standard stereo uses digital tuning so it isn't susceptible to worn tuning dials like traditional radios.

Chances are it is some twit with one of those iPod radio transmitter thingys that allow you to broadcast them a short distance to your car stereo. I've had that before when cruising past cars on the motorway. If they're using one broadcasting close to the frequency you're listening to it can bleed over on to your radio when you get close.

I will try to remember to see if there is any potential ipod transmitter in range the next time it happens, a very interesting observation?
