Default Radio display showing the same song...

The radio display shows the same message for almost 2 weeks now. Any idea why ?

I think your car is telling you that it wants you to play that tune.

Possible... in this case I have to admit that my car has a doubtful preference.

I am feeling fortunate.

Now, in a serious note... is it possible that the RDS is not working anymore ?

I know that when I tried to set a couple of new stations on mine, the station name didn't come up, but it listed the song that was playing at the time. I guess some stations don't broadcast the station name or whatever. I just know that it is "stuck" on that song, but it thinks it's the station.

Not my case... it correctly displays the station, but it 'plays' the same song over-and-over, so to speak...

Problem solved... Not sure this is a guaranteed fix, but... I pressed RDS button (on the radio) few times; turned off the engine, started again... voila... it works now. Is this supposed to be German engineering ?
