Probably, the radio in my VW reacts the same. The RDS will look for the strongest/ best signal to match the one set anyway, so I don't think it maters really.

It didn't do that on my Kenwood. I regularly spend time in two different areas with different frequecies for the national radio channels. I used to have the 6 presets on FM1 tuned to certain frequencies, and 6 presets on FM2 tuned to others for that particular area. I don't necessarily want the RDS changing the frequencies I locked in.
Maybe if my radio reception was better then RDS would work better. But sometimes I sit and listed to the crackle and the 'pulsing' noise it makes as it tries to search for a better signal for what seems ages and it doesn't find anything. I then do a quick manual sweep and find a much stronger signal????
Do even get me started on the TA function. If I switch this on it just seems to retune the radio to Classic FM!
