Interesting occurance

I was sitting at the bank with the engine off in my 2012 Impala. Was listening to music on the radio using the AUX mode. I had left the radio ON and started the car. The engine stammers and falters. Far from a normal startup.

It it possible something in the radio caused the Car to run like crap?

I shut the ignition OFF and restarted the car. It still runs like nothing happened.

What could have possibly caused that? Scared the bejesus out of me.

Amber, This has been the only time. I suspect the onboard computer got a wacko signal from the radio. Checked for codes. None there.
