Hi Guys,

well I picked up my ego G6E T on Friday and so far so good! So much more grunt than my BF II XR6T!

One small issue I have is to do with the Radio Text (RDS) for FM radio. It seems to be working with most of the FM stations ( I do realise that only some station have it) but there seems to be a glitch with Nova. The RDS is picking up the name of the station fine, but it seems to be "stuck" with regards to the name of the artist and the song. Ever since I picked up the car, the RDS is telling me that I am playing a "Newton Faulkner" song called "if this is it". As I said, it is only a small problem, but it is annoying! especially considering that Nova is the main FM station that I listen to.

Is anyone else having this problem with Nova in Melbourne??

I have tried disabling RDS and enabling it again, but it keeps on telling me that I am listening to Newton!

Cheers

RDS on Nova in Brisbane is working like a charm.... maybe a Melbourne issue??? If you want to do a wholesale reset, the battery terminal is the best option. Maybe that will clear what well maybe a glitch.

Maybe someone at the radio station is taking the piss and suggesting that Newton Faulkner is the only thing they play??!!

Yeah - I am obvioulsy wondering if it is just a problem with actual radio station RDS signal..... was hoping someone elso in melbourne may have been able to confirm. Otherwise, I'll start looking into the rest option that Johnny G has suggested... Is this simply a matter of disconnecting the battery for a while?? Is there anything I need to be careful of when I do this (e.g. car security issues??)

Cheers

I'd say it's the radio station. Has happened here a few times on a couple of different stations where the same track or show name will be there all day.

Yep, confirmed it's stuck on Newton Faulkner in Melbourne on Nova - G6eT as well for the record.

Thanks davocol - appreciate the response. I'll wait a week or so to see if Nova can fix it themselves, otherwise I'll try anc contact them.

Cheers
