Same thing happens to me, when returning to fm from AUX it defaults to 97.3. Not sure if there's a fix

Was overtaking a car at 100 clicks the other day and heard like a raspy exhaust note coming from engine bay.... anyone heard any exhaust leak type of sound under boost? Wonder if it just a vacuum hose even or the sound symposer tube etc.... havent lost performance and havent heard it since

Mine ends up on Hope 103.2, and I don't even go to church. To be honest coming back from AUX is usually OK. When I hang up from an in car phone call it is common.

Hmmmm, traffic on, is that on by default? Thought that only came on if you hit the map button or similar

Mine was on. Turned it off, no more switching between sources once the car is turned off.

Do you really like them, I'm considering it just because of that front grill!

You can order the US grille which doesn't have the euro shaped backing. A few guys have it instead of the euro plate. Personally I quite like the euro plate

Don't get me wrong it looks great, but it doesn't help existing ST owners with residual values

If you don't want your asset to depreciate, don't buy a depreciating asset.

Does seem pretty soon though

I don't have a problem with it but it is quite soon admittedly, less than 2 years. Oh well, doesn't change anything for me

You're concerned about residual values? Why did you buy a brand new car, circa 40k which 12 months down the track is in the low 30's?

Still a ripper value car and even better with a tune!

That new ST looks sweet. They turned a docile looking catfish into an angry shark.
