Music Radio bug..

basegreen · 9th May 2006, 15:15

A post on the other site made me remember the fault in the Civic HU.

If you move from FM to MW quickly (and sometimes when switching normally) the volume level drops to an almost inaudible level.

The only real cure is to restart the engine/ignition. Occasionally it's sorted itself out after some random HU fiddling.

I've reproduced this on 4 different civics, so it's definitely a problem, just forgot all about it!

Good spot, not had that problem myself as tend to onlt listen to FM and CD's.

Yeh the MW radio is pretty rubbish

. I like listening to Radio 5 Live, in the Civic you have to have the volume upto 17 to hear it.

Same here Kevin! Listen between 5 Live and Radio 1 in the morning and I have come across this problem, although just turning the Rasio on and off works for me.

I get a little loss when I cross the North downs but being in the GL area not too much of a problem.
