Corolla Confusion

[Shann79]

New poster, with hopefully an easy to answer question. I have a 2007 Corolla SE. Took it in to get winter tires put on, and since I got it back, my preset radio stations have been changing themselves. Ex. if I'm listening to 89.9, it will switch to 89.7. Same thing happens on AM stations as well. This never happened on my previous Corolla, and wasn't doing it before I took it in. Anyone heard of this happening before? Do I take it back in?

auto tuning maybe?

Every station it changes to is unclear - lots of static.

Something must have fubared the antenna. Those tire guys aren't supposed to touch anything in the interior...

Is your face plate detachable?

Sometimes when I leave my face plate off for long periods of time it clears all my stations. Mind you my radio is old...

Shann never said the radio is aftermarket, and gen 9 are not known to be very compatible with aftermarket radios without some extra hardware, and OEM radios are not known to come with detachable faceplates.

I'm thinking they messed with your tunes to try to listen to a station and pressed something. Maybe auto scan?

tpms + battery disconnect + unknown technicians.....

quite possible
