Switching stations by itself

[jettie1767]

My B7 went in for a software update in early October and ever since, I've noticed that the radio just changes stations by itself. Most of the time, it happens when I'm fiddling with my iphone which I normally put on the cupholder. Prior to the update, this has never happened. Anyone else having the same issue? Is it because of gesture control?

Yes, all to do with gesture control. I occasionally change station after using the indicator stalks with my left hand (issue with UK wheel being on the right) as my fingers must form one of the gestures as i let go right in the area where it is looking. Has happened twice now - first time thought it was a fault and i can replicate.

I did an experiment and found that it's the 2-finger point gesture that I must have been doing that's why the radio station changes. This just started after the software update so maybe they adjusted the sensitivity of the sensors.
