Radio WTF!?

I've got an '05 Ex with the factory 6 disc changer and DVD entertainment system. Today while I was driving home from the store listening to a CD, it suddenly went back to the radio and the display said "ALERT REPORT" and then went blank except for the 6 circles for the CD changer. I pressed the CD button again and the CD came back on, but only for a second and it went back to the radio and "ALERT REPORT" again. WTF is goin on?

You might need to disable the RDS feature. It sounds like something important was supposed to come of the RDS freq, but you didn't hear it.

Yup, read the owners manual and it will tell you how to turn off the RDS.
