There are unfortunately many stations with this PI value, i.e. they have never set their PI from factory default to correct value, usually assigned by the authority. As a result, car radios consider these different stations as one station. Although the value of FFFF is used worldwide as a factory default for the PI, car radio manufacturers ignore this fact.
It is always preferred to set correct PI as soon as possible. For the PIRA32, you may do it using any of the following methods:
After you change the PI, don't forget to tune your station manually on the receiver and store it again to the preset memory. Otherwise the car radio will still search for the old PI.
