Problem overview

Some Cadillac SRX owners report experiencing issues with their radio automatically searching and changing stations following a new radio installation. These problems may stem from a sensitive radio controller on the steering wheel, which can lead to inadvertent taps that change stations. Additionally, wiring and connection issues, as well as sticky buttons or malfunctioning steering controls, can cause the radio to behave erratically. Some owners have also noted that dirt or dust on the radio buttons may result in them sticking, prompting unexpected station changes. To resolve these issues, it is recommended to inspect wiring and connections, clean the radio buttons with rubbing alcohol, and be cautious with the sensitivity of the steering wheel controls.
