pxpx Member 3 Member For: 15y 1m 7d Posted 25/10/09 07:48 AM Share Posted 25/10/09 07:48 AM 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!Cheerspxpx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 25/10/09 08:51 AM Share Posted 25/10/09 08:51 AM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pxpx Member 3 Member For: 15y 1m 7d Posted 26/10/09 02:17 AM Author Share Posted 26/10/09 02:17 AM 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??)Cheerspxpx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has happened here a few times on a couple of different stations where the same track or show name will be there all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
