"ALARM" message
was driving along listening to R4 DAB earlier, when suddenly the output changed to some "serious" music, no station display, but a dialogue-box thingy appeared saying ALARM. No other information...
I had no warns on the TFT at all, and when I pushed the button for R4 again, everything went back to normal. Anybody else seen this? Should I be worried?

I occasionally saw this on my 2009 V50 and (I think) I've seen it once on my XC60. On all occasions it quickly disappeared. A bit like the stop light fail warning a few weeks ago. Lasted about 2 minutes. Went away. Bulbs all fine.

Was it maybe an emergency broadcast test?
Ive seen these occasionally over the years - cant recall what the text said though.

It's the RDS emergency system https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Data_System for more details

have now dug down into the manual (downloaded onto laptop, as in-car version is lamentable) and it is indeed to warn of "disasters or catastrophes", so yes - nothing to worry about. It's probably just heard about Brexit...
