Very common on the early C-max- and there is a software update that cures
it. (also applies to radios which switch themselves on and off at random)

No, mine, in a 2-yo Titanium TDCI keeps the date OK but loses about a
minute a month.
That's not the most annoying feature though. I get what I can only
describe as breakthrough from other stations. I'm listening to Radio 4
(usually) and occasionally for just half a second, I get a burst of some
other station; music, talk, random stuff. I suspect it's a feechur of
the RDS, though I have TA off. Does anyone else get this?

mine does the same but only when the signal is weak.
