RNS-510 Radio jumping stations

[The_Hawk]

My RNS510 randomly changes to Hope FM or something like that on startup (at least that's when I notice it). I thought it was something to to with TP and fiddled the settings and thought it was fixed but it still randomly does it.

I wouldn't call my problem often, sometimes twice in a week then not for a month... it seems totally random.

The sad part is when I find myself sining along to some crappy song I feel dirty just knowing the words too

Hey I had the same problem , but I fixed the issue after re-setting Radio to factory state. I have other problem now
; station list wont stay programmed . They clear every time car turns off. Any ideas why?

Sounds like it's not getting permanent power when you turn off the car. Something that is hard to do with the quadlock connector handing everything. I'd be probing the wires to ensure it's getting power when the car is off.

Is it a factory install or aftermarket?

The user data like radio presets, previous nav destinations etc are stored in EEPROMs.
They don't need power. If you take the RNS out of the car and then put it back in it should remember the settings.
So if settings are being lost there may be a problem with unit itself.
