Default V60 Radio and phone

New to the v60 , radio seems to have a different selection of stations each time it’s turned on ? Normal? Also have set up Bluetooth for my phone and the wife’s , does this need activating each time you get in car as incoming calls are not showing ?

How old is the car ?
My V60, 2013, retains the radio set and connects, automatically, to the phone Bluetooth when I turn the ignition on...
Have you programmed the radio , setting the stations? Has the battery been off so losing the stations??

My car (2011 S60) usually* connects to the last connected phone each time it is started.

Stored radio stations are toggled by pressing * or # button (can't remember which) on the keypad when in the Radio function. The channel selector screen does vary when driving around to whichever stations have the strongest signal, wouldn't expect that to change parked outside the house unless you live in a very rural area on the border of signal strength.

* iPhones get priority for some reason when connecting to the car. My wife and daughter have Apple products, the boys all have Android. If my eldest son has been driving the car it will initially look for his phone when I start to use the car again, I have to cancel this and tell the car to connect to my phone.

Have two iPhones connected but neither connects automatically ( 2014 V60).
Will see if I can “save” radio stations.
