Boom Box issues
Just wondering if anyone else out there has had an issue with the boom box system while streaming bluetooth? I can be cruising along and it will suddenly switch to the weather band, sometimes twice within a mile or two then not do it the rest of the day. I have already had it up to the dealer and they did an update to it about a week ago and could not reproduce the issue, but the problem is back. I was thinking maybe its something with my phone? but this never happens when streaming to the sync system in my truck.
Thanks in advance

Funny you should mention that because it started happening to me just recently. I don't think it's a phone issue because the radio is switching to one of the weather bands (WB4) rather than the alerts coming from the phone. I haven't tried figuring out what causes it, so I'm hopeful someone has an answer.

If I recall, that is exactly what the system is designed to do. In the event of a weather alert, it overrides your current audio selection.
Remember watching TV, and you get an Emergency Broadcast Alert (Test) - yep, it overrides.
Imagine this, you are riding along have a great time - listening to music -and you ride right into a tornado - because your weather alert did not tell you.

My 2016 Limited has done this several times, it was because there was Significant weather within a 50 mile radius from me, the radio is operating as it should, the Weatherband will overide Radio, USB stick, Sirius or any other device, that's how it was designed.

So my next question is, if the weather band station receives this alert and pops onto that channel how come it is nothing but static? Typically static would mean that a station is not receiving, yet an emergency weather alert makes it through. I will check out what my settings are in the alert area.

My 2019 with the CB module added has been doing that randomly and I thought there was something wrong with it. As others noted, the weather station it switches to has nothing but static. Good to now know why it's happening and how to turn that feature off as it's annoying to all of a sudden switch to static and then have to switch back to what I was listening to. Thinking there was a problem, I mentioned it to the tech at the dealer and he didn't know it's supposed to work like this either.
Good information to know, another problem solved.
