Fm radio signal lost toyota yaris

This might not be a problem, car radios of this era monitor the signal strength and automatically switch to what it thinks is the same station with a stronger strength signal. This is usually on the FM scale. The radio station that you listen to may say that they transmit on a range such as 88 to 91 FM and your radio could be set to say 88.3. You then drive around and the radio starts to lose the signal, usually it will find another signal within the range of the station such as 90.1. What probably happened that it found another station with a stronger signal close to the original station such as at 87.6. If this annoys you you may be able to switch this option off. Have a look at the manual.
