Radio plays a short jingle when turning right!

Post by diesel406 »

Has anyone got any idea what is causing this? :shock: With my radio switched off, on a few places where I drive, I suddenly without any prompting or action on my part get a short jingle playing through my radio speaker (2003 D9 exec). I do have a Bury Take&Talk mobile phone adaptor but that is not connected to my phone when this happens. I am trying to find a place where it happens repeatably and I will record the music on my mobile so you can all share it! :cheesy:

Cheers

Lewis

Yes - but this is not switched on either. (in fact the CD reader is not working at the moment so I don't use it).

Now a few months have passed and I have realised at last that the jingle comes on when I am using the indicators on a right turn! So it is connected to the indicators -weird or what :shock: Anyone out there with an idea where to look next. I have now removed the SatNav and will see if the jingle has gone when I next take the car out.

UPDATE: Jingle gone and SatNav now removed! No more jingles :cheesy:
