Car has a mind of it's own

Every once in awhile the radio in my 2013 E350 autmatically switches from radio to CD or iPod all on its own. I though I was crazy but it has happenened a few times. I can't re-create so don't know what to do. Has anyone else experienced this?

Did you forget that it's halloween time here.... .
Jokes aside, if it happens frequently I would have it checked out with the dealer.

Pretty sure it's haunted. Been driving around any cemetaries or burial grounds lately?

Does it happen when you are in the same location or any location? Do you typically carry any other electronic devices in the car? Is it something that just started or has been there since you got the car (and any coincident 'changes' you can determine)? Some possible EMI/RFI interference? Possibly a intermittent connection on some connector pin somewhere? This could be quite difficult to isolate, unless you can reproduce the problem.
