*edit*: so apparently if you have usb with phone plugged in then remove the USB it goes back to FM! Mystery solved, mods pls delete*

My gladiator 22, after getting in the car today saw the radio was changed to FM, on a station I never listen to, in fact I never use FM. Could this be AUX battery glitch? I just replaced both main and aux ~6-8 months ago. I leave my keys in the car so I am little uneasy that someone got in the car last night.

That’s an odd occurrence. Maybe the flux capacitor is effecting the ion stream in the warp drive.

Seriously, mine doesn’t go back to FM after I disconnect on a ‘21 with Alpine.

Sounds to me like his Fetzer valve got stuck partially open preventing the full rev up to 1.21 jigawatts.

It seems you have your answer, but I still have a question

Why would you LEAVE your keys in the car?

I really don't understand why people do this

So if someone breaks into the garage to steal the car, they don't come into the house looking for the keys.

Neither of my Rubicons went back to FM after I disconnect my phone. They would stay on the USB input until I select another source.

That’s good planning but even better would be to harden your garage a bit. Just takes a few little things. Do you still have the red pull tab thing on your emergency pull rope? If so take it off. Just put a junk knot on the end. That pull is the #1 way people break into garages.

Another thing you can do is a keyed lockbox on a wall for all the keys. Keep the lock box key in a drawer or someplace in the garage or house.

I hear ya! Never thought about that emergency rope being used, but luckily that pull rope broke a while ago.

I sure hope you're kidding

I'm going to take it you are

However, these days, there are people that might really believe what you posted

Better yet, leave $100 with the keys, on the dash

Whats wrong with that? I frankly don't care if it gets stolen, if they stay out of the house. I got a family homie. I leave $100 there too, but in center console.
