Stereo volume acting weird
Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue ... When the car hits a bump which causes it to bounce a bit, the stereo volume increases or decreases. So, if I were to hit a bump the volume might go up or it may go down. Originally I was thinking that there might be a loose connect somewhere. But then I noticed that this only occurs when I am playing any kind of a mp3 cd or regular cd. Any ideas?

I have the same issue... it's a loose harness or something. The dealer said they see it all the time and it takes minutes to fix, but I haven't gone in since I use the AUX most of the time...
Annoying as hell though. It gets worse over time too.

How r u getting your AUX to work? When I connect my IPhone to the AUX port, I don't hear any sound. Perhaps the dealer can fix that too.

I did that. I hold down AUX until I see the message AUX on the screen. I had my mp3 player's volume set to high, but still no sound. I wonder if perhaps the car originally had a navi and the dealer swapped it with the stereo and just forgot about the aux cable.

It funny you mention that. Up until a few months ago my volume button ( on the sterring wheel) activates the blue tooth command when I push the + or - button on the steering colum. I would want to turn up the tunes on a good song and all of a sudden I get the ladys voice asking who I would like to call

this problem starts after volume 18 ++

The first audio problem came up today ..
The balance was really "off" ... when I had it in 0, most of the output went to the right...
when I set R 11 .. (all the way to the right) ... it sounds exactly the same.. when i did L 11 (all the way to the left) .. it was so low that it was almost muted..
And this was with the entire Left side, I tried the back and it was doing the same thing...
after parking the car for supper, it went back to normal ... strange.. something must be wrong with the firmware or with the electronics..
