oh...it does happen when the radio is on. just tested it on the drive home from work. i thought it might be the avc mode, but turning it off didnt seem to make a difference.

Default strange problem...


i just picked up my new zx3 on monday, and i've been noticing a weird problem. for some reason, when i raise my passenger window (i have power windows), and if i have a cd playing, the music will skip. the sound is interrupted very briefly. its kinda strange cos this only happens when i raise the window, and only when i raise it about 3/4 of the way. and it only happens w/ the passenger window, and only while a cd is playing, not the radio. at first i thought my cd was just skipping, but its happenned several times w/ various discs. it doesnt happen every time i raise the window tho, more like 1 in 5 times. and i know vibration isnt making it skip, cos it still happens when the car is parked.

i'm gonna call the dealer today, but i dont know how they're gonna diagnose this. its kind of crazy, and not very noticeable, but its still present, and could be a sign of future issues w/ the vehicle. if anyone else has noticed this, please let me know.

I have the weirdest thing in my car happening related to the radio as well.. Now this is bizarre:

This happens sometimes: Whenever I open the passenger door on my ZX3 and then lock the door before closing again, my radio comes on by itself !! I have never seen this and I have no clue why this happens. It has happened to me a half dozen times.
My radio is stock, I have no power locks nor power anything.
