Default Help !

Got in my A8 this morning and ganted it's cols out there so I'm not sure if this was a factor BUT turned on the radio and wham huge volume of static. If I turn down the volume I can turn it off but in one click it pegs out with loud static. Did the same on radio as well as Sirius sat. The icon on the screen shows a speaker with a line thru it. Any ideas other than bring it in ?

thanks

got in the car after work and after starting, the damn thing worked. Must have been a MMI glitch.

I had the same thing happen to me once. I took it in right away and of course it would not do it again. That was seven months ago. Damn gremlins!

Default Had exactly the same - and I mean exactly - on Wednesday ..

Morning. The car had stood out overnight and the temperature had dropped to -3.
I drove the car for 2 hours, numerous roboots of the system would not bring audio back.
2 hours later after the car had sat in sunshine, though still cold, the syatem started normally.
I think it is the impact of very cold weather. The dealer claims to never have heard of this before. Living in Chicago, I doubt this somehow.
