So I bought a usb charger for the car and plugged it into the cigarette lighter and noticed my radio went off! As soon as it's unplugged, boom radio back on again.

Thought it might have been a dodgy lead so I bought one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-Dual...ger-Lighter-Socket-Adapter-plug-/252149563901
And it's the same issue.

Any ideas? Do it happen to anyone else?

Wow that must be annoying, bit like my DAB radio that hates LED lights. Turn the lights on, no radio. Turn them off, radio.

Just to be sure, you are plugging into the 12v port via an adapter NOT plugging into the USB port next to the 3.5mm line in socket?

If you plug into the USB I can imagine the UConnect trying to connect to media, but pressing the radio tab should put you back.

If it's the 12v socket then I've no idea!

my radio sometimes turns on when im getting out of the car....

It is the 12v socket I'm using, a strange one that's for sure!

I can add another strange one to my list. As soon as I pull onto my drive the radio goes off, pull off the drive and it's OK!

Sure is, I've used plenty of chargers in mine with no issues.

Are you using a DAB radio model or standard FM? If it is on DAB, can you swap to FM when it cuts out?
