    If its covering the noise of an awful 3 cylinder engine, then I'd say its quite a good feature.

    On a serious note, sounds like a fault with wiring leading to the head unit or the head unit itsself. If you're handy with a multimeter then it should be straightforward to find. Otherwise get in contact with Alec Trician, he'll probably find the fault for about 30 queens heads.


    I'm starting to sound like S B.

    If you just want it to stop altogether, pull the fuse as a short term 'solution'. But you'll have nay radio.
