Hi Churchillnlc,

The only thing I wonder is if you have got hold of a model originating from somewhere like the USA - they don't have RDS in the States for example, but do have the BT5700 and it wouldn't have any RDS function buttons?

The static noise you have - is it only when the car is running by any chance?  If so, it might be something like ignition interference.  It is possible to get suppressors for this type of interference, but I'd recommend seeking out a local in-car specialist dealer and asking them to check it out for you if this is the case.

Hope this helps.
