    OK so my choice of radio station is usually Greatest Hits Radio
    when driving.

    However the new car (new to me - not brand new) says Magic 828 on
    the image next to the station listing.

    Deleting all stations and retuning has not worked.

    Any other suggestions?

    Personally it doesnrCOt bother me but if she tell me one more time >>>>>> that it says Magic 828 when listening to GHR I might just have to
    throw her out the car whilst driving on the motorway.

    There is a factory reset option in settings but I don't want to
    press that as I have no idea if it loses the Full Link code etc

    I wouldn't touch DAB with a bargepole, personally. It's another
    thing that has been improved beyond all usefulness.

    Probably better off getting a good data packaged, and pairing your
    phone to the audio and using that to stream from the internet.


    TBH I still often use FM. That works quite well in places DAB has no
    signal.

    I never had a problem with FM. DAB was solving a problem the public
    didn't have.

    You don't live in LOndon where pirate FM stations are a said to be a
    real pain.

    I used to live in London up till 1996. Never really noticed pirate radio
    as a problem, despite hanging around the Clarendon and Roxborough with
    the Radio Floss gang :)

    I left West London in 1969, when my little town started filling up.
