Navigation & Audio H/K Beep?
#2
#3
Never had a problem with the H/K system in either of our cars, but something is definitely acting up on yours.
Does it sound like a computer-generated artificial "beep", or it is more of a quick "screech". If it's just a quick burst of noise, followed by a drastic reduction in volume, you may have a speaker wire shorting out, triggering the protection circuitry in the amplifier.
What do you have to do afterward to get everything back to normal? Does the volume gradually ramp back up, does it come back all of a sudden, or do you have to turn the stereo off and back on? Whatever you do to fix it, does it work every time? How often are you getting the problem?

I don't remember if the volume level dropped or not after the loud tone (it is a tone, like a pure sinusoid, and not noise).

It's been doing it on mine lately. The volume wavers and it sounds like a bleepin video game tone laced in static interference. I've unplugged the iPod connector cable from the amp and still continues. Best solution I've found is to let the car thoroughly warm up before turning on the stereo. Inconvenient but it has worked. Amp still works fine. Just don't want it to spread anywhere else!

Mine has done this as well. '06 R53 (MCS) [H/K no-iPod]. It's SO LOUD. I had my music at a reasonable level and it was early morning on the way to school, and I ended up stalling the car because I was stopped and had my the clutch in and it scared me so bad my foot jumped off the clutch and I stalled it!

I don't think that is the case. Mine has been doing this since I got the car (never around the dealer) and that was over 6 years ago.

But mine NEVER did it, until like a week before it went dead. Now it does it ALL the time. Its annoying, so much that i started driving with the Iphone headphones
