Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.

Always the bloomin' same isn't it! Applying Copperslip was always standard practice in the good old days. As for Rayo, John says it's not available for AAOS. Can you find the stations manually and add them to Favourites? R2 DAB didn't play when I pushed the button today, which happens if not used fo...
