    Bose Stereo Issues

    Hi, I've just got my sport sportsback 2.0tdi, coming from an S3. This time round I've opted for the bose & noticed that the radio seems to hop a bit, Radio 1 is rock solid, though stations like chiltern (i live in the SE) see to jump about i.e. to other stations - anyone experienced this ?
