I've got a '21 Badlands with the Lux pkg. Every now and then when I get in and turn it on the radio is off. I never turn it off. Not a big deal, just a little aggravatiing. Is anyone else having this issue?

I prefer to have mine play music from a USB thumb drive. It will randomly notify me that it can't find it, so it switches to the radio. Then I have to find the "sources" button, push that, see the name of the USB drive and push that, then we're back to where I want to be. It might turn on and off as well.

The audio interface is pathetic. But once it's working it's usually fine. I would like to meet whoever designed the interface in person so I could tell them to their face what a stupid design it is. ;)

Yes, get in and turn on vehicle audio plays then turns off and have to select which source to play to start again. '21 OBX Lux

I use Carplay, but that's not the point of my post. When I get in the system is off. Not all of the time, but more than it should.

Not sure if it's the same, but still annoying I'm sure. Every now when I get in it will say Audio Off.

Something to do with your music preference?

I've got the opposite situation. I always use CarPlay, but occasionally when my phone isn't connected when I start the engine, it waits for a few minutes and then decides "hey, I'll bet you want to listen to an FM station" and on comes the radio.
