okay Tony... don't make me flog you with the RTFT stick... I mentioned twice that i removed the remote from the equation.
Sorry. Flog away.

That's a good question, Tony - I once had a (factory) tuner that exhibited symptoms of random stalk presses (even if the stalk was unplugged from the tuner module).
Hmm, sounds very similar, doesn't it? Would be interesting to get to the bottom of this one.
