Has anyone else experienced the radio changing to 87.7 FM when
switching from a normal music CD (not MP3) to the radio? The screen
will display preset 5 and a frequency of 87.7 FM, which is just
white-noise up here in cow-hampshire.

I have tried several times to duplicate this, but it only seems that it
happens when the car is first started and the CD is turned on directly
(by pressing "CD" or by normal power button and CD resumes), then
switched over to the radio (via the FM/AM button). And it only happens
with a normal CD, not an MP3 compilation.

Any clues?

When switching to FM from audio CD, the radio will display whatever
preset I had it on last, however, 87.7 FM will be the frequency. If I
press the preset shown on screen, it will change to the correct
frequency for that preset. And this only happens after the CD is
started after the car is started. I can not duplicate this action any
other time.

Just another reason to get rid of the crappy factory stereo.

Sounds like a defective radio. Be sure to explain the necessary steps to
the dealer so they can verify your radio is defective.

Not that it is of great help, but I agree with that.
