Weird Radio Problem
#1

I have noticed this strange problem with my radio, since I have had my car (about three months). When I am playing a CD, between tracks, I can hear people talking. It is very faint, so I can't tell if it is the radio playing, or if I am picking up interference. It also does not happen all the time, though. Has anyone else experienced this, or am I going crazy?

Seriously, I'd think you were picking up interference. Might be as simple as a grounding problem. You might go have your dealer or a car audio place you trust look into it.
Hope that helped.
...and if the voices start suggesting you drill a hole in your forehead, I'd say ignore them.

Although I've had just about every other problem with my radio, I haven't had this one. Yet. Now that I said that, I'll probably hear it the next time I start up the car.
Is it always the same CD? If so, I would try playing that CD on another CD player, like one in your home. Maybe it's a defect on the CD, or who knows, maybe it was meant to be like that.<p>'00 1.8T QTSC

I don't have that problem, but have experienced the radio jumping .2 from the preset of 101.1. Sometimes the fader and tone adjustments change without intervention as well. Has anyone else had this?

Seriously though, have the dealer check the ground to your radio.

the interference (I assumed it was from the radio) went away after the dealer replaced some things to fix a crackling speaker. So perhaps it is a grounding a problem as someone else suggested.
I have noticed the radio dial change by ~.2 a couple of times, but not recently. And the bass and treble have moved to the right a few times.
This is with a '00 A4 with a symphony radio and Bose speakers.
