A method is provided for suppressing interference in a motor vehicle radio
that is capable of executing a seek/scan function. Interference may occur
from signals generated by a source of time varying signal that operates
in the motor vehicle at a predetermined operating frequency. The method
comprises the steps of sending a message indicating initiation of a
seek/scan function. In response to this message, the operating frequency
of the source of time varying signal is cycled between the predetermined
operating frequency and an adjusted operating frequency.
