Radio goes to static when shifting into reverse

[haohmaru]

I don't often listen to the radio, but it was on this morning and I noticed this happening.

That's kinda a cool parlor trick. I feel like I wanna go try it. AM/FM/HD?

Thats wild! Backup camera signal interfering with the radio signal inside the infotainment somehow!?

I've noticed that the rare few times I had the non-bluetooth radio sources on.

The head unit in mine does do some sort of funky blip thing when shifting to reverse from park though... kinda like the damn head unit has to think through the shift after it's had 4-5 beers and forgot it's thinking out loud. It's fairly brief (less than a second or so) and the rear view camera sucks out loud so I don't even pay attention to it.

What's driving me absolutely NUTS is the damned assistants announcing when I have Spotify on, then THAT assistant goes completely of the rails... keeps repeating the track details over and over... even if you shut the radio off. I just turn the volume all the way down until I can find a place to pull over and turn the car on/off and sometimes that doesn't even work. Makes you want to shoot the fucking thing.

Spotify assistant?

Spotify assistant?

Yeah, and there's no way to turn it off.
