Noticed a strange issue with my car, very minor but wondering if anyone else's is the same or of a way to stop it?

If the radio is off, I use the phone, when I hang up I can hear very faintly what ever is on the radio station that I last had on. If I switch radio or then off again I can still hear it and cannot get rid unless I switch car off.

This is on a 15 plate V6 with the updated Incontrol setup but with bog standard stereo

Anyone else get this, I thought I was hearing voices in my head!!

Mine's a 65 plate, same car, so not much newer. I've not noticed a problem with phone calls. I did have a glitch that when the steering wheel volume up button was pressed, this turned the radio on and when you then switched the radio off the touch screen would go black. Only locking the car for 20 minutes would reset the touch screen putting it back to normal. But when it went in for service the software must have been updated, as the problem had gone afterwards (I forgot to mention the problem to the dealer at the time) . You might have a bug that has been fixed in a later software update.

Good call, I'll ask dealer to check as a starting point. To be fair it's such a minor issue!

Daughter's V6 late 15 plate, UAE, is in to the dealer today - interference over the speakers and slight leak from seal on soft top. Incredible that she should find the leak, the last car was never washed. Perhaps she is maturing.

I shall post the result if resolved.

Day three and the car has returned. software update for the radio.

A complete new seal on the roof.

Suspension lubricated????? to eleviate an occasional clunk!

No fuel! Which is not a cost issue... just where has it been? Road testing was the response.

However, it is pristine, she queried if they had replaced the roof it looked so good!

It's back.... dealer stated they thought that the software issue was a bit of a fob off..... tested and it appears to require a new amp, ordered today and courtesy car provided.
