Someone clever explain this weird phenomenon to me. Car stereo related.

Ok. So bare with me, I'll try to explain this as best I can.

Every time I drive down the A36 to or from Bath, just as I go through a village called Woolverton, my car stereo cuts out and I want to know why. It's baffling me.

  1. It's not the radio. It does it on Spotify, Apple Music AND CDs so it's not a question of signal or buffering.

  2. It's the same spot every time, both directions and lasts for 5-10 seconds each time.

  3. It doesn't happen anywhere else.

  4. The stereo is still on, whatever song is playing stutters, as if it were poor signal or interference - but it does it with CDs as well as Spotify and Apple Music (which is a pre downloaded playlist so no loading to do) it's almost as if something is causing the actual CarPlay system to pack in for a few seconds.

Attached is a map of the area.

Anyone have any idea what's going on, or has anyone else experienced this? I drive this road once or twice a month and it's starting to do my head in that I can't figure out what's causing it!

There are some very silly suggestions here. It's obvious an alien spacecraft with a cloaking device is stationed above that spot.
