Radio problems...........

My radio is becoming somewhat of a major irritant and having searched around, I can't seem to find anyone who has experienced a similar problem.

Effectively, the radio is fine but every so often the volume almost goes to nothing for a second or so, but then goes back to normal.

Playing CD's is fine but I can't fathom what's wrong with this radio. I've checked connections to the Radio module in the boot and all seem fine.

The car is a 2003 53 4.6iS with Nav, Bluetooth, Radio and CD Multichanger.

Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Check that you haven't got 'TP' switched on and the TP volume has been turned way down.  Just a thought.  The radio volume will react to the TP message 'flag' being received and go to whatever setting TP is running at.  When the 'flag' goes off at the transmitter, the volume comes up again.

Wouldn't that affect CD playback also?

Have you got EON (Enhanced Other Networks) turned on?? (not sure if that is an option on teh NAV units?)
Could be searching for a stronger station and muting whilst selecting it??
If there is an option then turn it off and see if its any better.
