I bought a NEW 2012 TT 3 months ago and now there is NO sound from the radio. The display is lit, but I can't switch between tuner, Disc, or USB. Most radio functions are frozen.

This morning I called to cancel my 3 month trial XM radio so they wouldn't bill me. Could this have messed the radio?

This happened while driving. So I pulled over and turned off the car. After 10 minutes, I restarted the car and then the ipod loaded up, I was relieved. The song played for 1 minute then the track time froze and no sound.

The car has only 600 miles on it.
- Should this be happening?...
- Is there a remedy?...
- Is the dealer going to give me a hassle?...

HELP

 

I would simply call the dealer. My guess is a software refash or something of the sort.

Mike.

 

Thank you, Mike. It happened again this morning - ipod was playing then after 1 hour, the sound was cut and the display froze. The remainder of the trip was with no radio, disc, or ipod! This is crazy for a brand new vehicle. I don't know if this is common with new Porsches?

 

I had no problems with either or my 997.2's or my new 991, so I assume its just a fluke with your car.

I would call the dealer, set an appointment, drive there with the windows down and listen to the boost the whole way there...

I'm sure it will be no big deal to fix. I would guess in worst case you need a new head unit... Don't sweat it.

Mike

 

Ok Mike, thanks. I'll call the dealer For an appointment. I hope it will be a quick fix.

 

Not normal. I'd definitely take it to the dealer.

 

I went to the dealer, they couldn't do anything with the radio. So they ordered a new radio module from Germany. The radio, ipod, XM were all working fine for the first 2 months, so I am at a loss to why I lost function and sound. What are the chances of this happening again?
On route to the dealership last week, at the traffic light, I noticed a 3 second interval "click---clock" sound from the rear. They didn't have time to diagnose it fully, but said that it was a relay that's firing more than it should. Once the radio is fixed, I have to look into this too. Any ideas what this repeating 3s click might be?...
What sux is that I haven't even posted photos of my new TT, and I am already having issuse with the vehicle...
