Thousands of Mazdas in the Seattle area are stuck on a single FM radio station
Folks are saying the radio station transmitted side-band data that resulted in the effective bricking. Others are saying that's not the issue, it's the software/firmware in the radios.<p>So looking at the specification here:<p><a href="https://www.nrscstandards.org/standards-and-guidelines/documents/standards/nrsc-5-d/reference-docs/1020s.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.nrscstandards.org/standards-and-guidelines/docum...</a><p>...<p>On page 20, We see that images need not have an extension, because the transport stream is required to specify a mime-type. If one can prove that somehow that mime-type was not set, then perhaps the radio station and/or the technology provider for their broadcast transmission equipment could be held liable. I'm not sure how the process of discovery would look for something like that.<p>Seems more likely Mazda could be in the position to sustain significant warranty claims in court if their hardware is found to be defective, or their testing & QE procedures to be lacking.
